I'd already watched the clip. But thanks (I think!) because now I know the other joke.

It's an interesting dilemma, don't you think, because we really can't say whether Ms Harman was right or wrong without knowing what she said and if everybody censored what she said, we couldn't find out.

By the way, I did think for a while about whether to put the text of first joke on this thread, but decided not to in the end because it is pretty easy to find elsewhere.

When I said that the joke shouldn’t be repeated, I’m not sure that I meant in the context of a debate about the joke itself. Harman wasn’t debating the joke’s content as far as I could tell; more to the point, it was on live TV with no opportunity for those who would be genuinely offended to turn over.

And still no apology for AN that I’ve seen. Hope he sues.
