Yesterday I wanted to punch an 81 year man in the face. He was rather bigoted and racist would that have been bad form?

After I finished work yesterday I was sat in Brizzle bus station waiting for a mechanical contrivance to board for the journey home. I couldn't help but over hear two old gits and I don't mean the funny ones from Harry Enfield and Chums. They were talking about the state of life in contemporary British society; this old fucknut was talking about how he had served in the Royal Navy during the WW2. And that he didn't fight for King and Country to allow these foreigners in to take English jobs. And that there were too many robbing fornicating Pakistani gentlemen and too many fornicating gentlemen of Afro-Caribbean descent over here. I rapidly came to the conclusion this idiot had no real grasp of the reason why his generation went to war in the first place.

Now let's just ponder on what Hitler and Co. wanted to stop happening across mainland Europe, freedom of speech is the first thing that springs to mind. Frankly after hearing those 2 old fuckers talking for twenty minutes I would have been glad if we had lost the war, then I wouldn't have had to endure the GBH of the ear drum, which was not only insulting to my intelligence but the most ill informed fascist tirade I have ever heard. Firstly the complaints they made about these people living on hand outs from the government. If he had logically thought out that statement he would have realised that the time he spent in the navy his wages were paid by the taxpayer. Where does his state pension come from and presumably he also gets supplemental extras like a heating allowance. I just wish Cameron and the Cleggonator could have been there to witness their "Big Society" in action.

The only conclusion I can come to with regard to this question posed in the above title is it probably would have been bad form to punch him but I probably would have temporarily felt better. But the punch would have been wasted effort on my part, because it wouldn't have altered there thinking with regards to racism and bigotry they have spent a lifetime forming. And it wouldn't have been very easy to lamp him as he was sat with Andy Gray and Richard Keys, they were forming the South West Chapter of the Tea Party.

Here endeth the lesson.
