Is that Tony Bliar OR The Joker from Batman?
Have you ever seen them together ?
Talking of jokes
Jeremy Corbyn was visiting a Northern Ireland primary school and the class
was in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.*
*The teacher asked Mr Corbyn if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'.*
*So, our labour leader asked the class for an example of a 'Tragedy'.*
*A little boy stood up and offered:*
*'If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.'*
*'Incorrect,' said Corbyn. 'That would be an accident.'*
*A little girl raised her hand: *
*'If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff, killing
everybody inside, that would be a tragedy.'*
*'I'm afraid not', explained Corbyn, 'that's what we would refer to as a great loss'.*
*The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Corbyn searched the room.*
*'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'*
*Finally, at the back of the room, little Johnny raised his hand and said:*
*'If a plane carrying you and Diana Abbott was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'*
*'Fantastic' exclaimed Corbyn, 'and can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?'*
*'Well', said Johnny, 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be a fucking accident either!'*
