How do you know GagaJo? No one's immune to being hurt by the insensitivity or cruelty of others, even Kings.

🙄🙄🙄

Sorry to hear that

I'm still a gen X though, we have empathy but aren't easily offended and generally don't give a crap what people think of us lol

What?! Every single one of your generation is exactly the same?
Were they cloned?

Oh, don't answer that, my DC weren't.

LOL whatever.

I’m a Gen X too. It means absolutely nothing

Lots of people have become rich and famous for their interesting features and useot to their advantage

I'm not good at faces, most people look attractive to me if they are good people

And Pedants' Corner 😁

Maybe he reads Gransnet and contributes on the gardening forum

Well he might, though I doubt the topics would interest him. Today however, Mumsnet will not have been on his mind.

Does it matter maddy? Is 'getting a laugh' at someone else's expense especially due to a physical characteristic OK, as long as the one being laughed at doesn't know about it?

Do you think he even knows that Mumsnet exists? I bet he doesn’t and isn’t interested in it at all.

I bet he does!

He's one of the most powerful men in England. Or the UK come to that. He won't give a flying F what Mumsnet thinks of him. Or us come to that.

Yiu don't know that.

It’s just childish.

I'm guessing it's been taken down as can't see it on mumsnet

Im surprised at it honestly, it caught me off guard

But yes, I am in fact a terrible person

Beyond distasteful, disrespectful and bullying.

As you say Mollygo it's only a joke is how bullies justify their behaviour and I find it strange that MN should do such a thing when I think of the number of H & M threads here on GN that have been deleted .

It's happened to me on a number of occasions. It upsets me less than people trying to control what I may or may not find funny.
I have thought for a while that we read/listen to similar people Baggs.

I'm sorry if your physical imperfections have caused others amusement, if so, I'd have thought you'd have more understanding.

We are supposed to be adults.

It isn’t funny. Bullies use that sort of comment/picture all the time and justify themselves by saying it’s only a joke/picture/meme.
I wasn’t surprised BlueBelle.

It's bullying. It's cruel.

If you're absolutely perfect in every way you would have no idea of the misery it can cause.

Mocking someone's actions is different to mocking someone's appearance.

Trying to control what people laugh at is what controlling people do.

I agree with Baggs and Andrew Doyle. The role of comedy is to poke fun at those in power, trying to control what people laugh at is like trying to control the tide.

Laughing at someone's appearance is what playground bullies do.
