It wouldn't have been so offensive if so much thought hadn't gone into it

In other news, the faculty of Durham University are idiots.

I agree. While it is in very bad taste that was the theme of the party. What about freedom of speech and expression?

Increasingly Freedom of speech and expression in this country is only being allowed if it doesn't offend anyone Sounds like typical rugby club antics if you ask me. They've never been know for being pillars or restraint and good taste, especially once the beer starts to flow.

I played skittles against a team dressed up like that three weeks ago.

I agree that rugby clubs are not the epitome of good taste but if you cannot offend anyone then many comics would be out of work, as would many newspaper columnists. Unless the comments actually encourage hate attacks or violence it really should be out of bounds. There was the case of the Tory MP who repeated a joke about the Chinese who died in Morecambe bay, it was in bad taste but and briefly topical but she probably should not have said it considering her position but that was not a sackable offence.

I can see them being banned for any damage, thef, behavior etc, but banned for poor taste in humour, dress? That's just not on?
