It's a poor joke as in it's shit which of course they all are. The thread title clearly says poor/bad taste jokes.

Yes, poor taste or bad taste. Two very distinct categories there and so it’s important to make it clear that either can be posted in the thread.
Slinky, I think your interpretation of thread title is correct. You carry on with the shit jokes

Blame the person who made the thread with a confusing title then
The context within which the thread was created was of having a place to keep jokes that might offend some people. As you can see from the initial page. It's slowly gone from 'edgy' jokes to shit you get in crackers.
Might not be a bad thing although neither of them seem to be particularly funny!

Ha ha ha!
I could post loads of really offensive jokes if I wanted to but they wouldn't go down well and would probably result in me being kicked off the forum.

I do wonder how some of the stuff on the first page here would go down if posted now.
We used to have a dedicated 18 rated forum  I think largely because our poster base back then wanted more of that content.

That doesn't sound suss
I never saw the point to be honest. We're already on the internet when we come to a football forum. What's the point of using it to look at PG13 porn that other members like (especially when it's suss).
If you need a fix a world awaits.

Absolutely. It was odd.

On Dianne Abbott's tour of Ireland she was asked if she liked County Down.
She said she preferred it when Carol Vordeman was doing it.

And when did she do a tour of Ireland?
I'm no fan but seems very odd to use her as the subject of the joke and post a picture of her.

I think the joke is meant to be read in an Jamaican accent making it a racist joke. Can't see why it's meant to be funny for any other reason.
Baitman, you'll have to explain it for us thickos as I might be off the mark

oh dear me...
abbott has often left herself looking quite stupid, and this is a humour based non factitious quip.
if you think it has racist connotations then thats your issue im afraid.

I didn't read it the way Norbs did at all, but I'm not quite so comfortable dismissing any involvement of race here all the same.
The joke is simple wordplay that didn't require any particular individual to be the 'butt' of the joke in any personal way. The joke doesn't relate specifically to Abbott, nor even even to a politician. Yes it's an example of a 'gaffe', and she's had a few notable ones. So have Boris Johnson and any number of white men in the public eye. That there is a disproportionately great fondness for making the choice that a black woman should be mocked therefore raises a question - why should this be? Whether it makes this specific joke racist in some way is not absolutely self-evident. But anyone who can't see why the question might be raised is blind to how racial bias is perpetuated.

jeez...
i copied it from a post on facebook.
if boris bellend johnson would have been the main character of the story then id have just copied it as it was. both are well known for coming out with shite and making a tit of themselves.
thats all there is to it. if you or anyone else thinks that to make fun of someone who is non white is racist then you need to give your collective heads a wobble. to consider anyone else other than a whitey to be above taking the piss out of them as its racist then you really have lost the plot.

sorry if i was implying you did, just posted in haste. cant believe the treehugging snowflakes
i have now re-read your post and see better that you were not agreeing that my comment was racist, but felt it helps to perpetuate the racist/bullying of women and people of non white ethnic origin.
like i said... if it was originally written about boris then thats what i would have posted, as its still funny either way. no one would claim it would be racist if it were about him, but maybe grumpy tory middle aged white guys might be upset as it stereotypes them... i doubt anyone would be getting all touchy about a joke about boris, would they. no balance...
people need to relax a little. for fucks sake, and all that shit.

Or your friends on Facebook are ignorant pricks and you're not used to being reined in on Facebook. You're on your best behaviour on here and still get close to the mark with your posts on a regular basis. I'm not the PC brigade but I know a racist joke when I see one, however it's dressed up

yeh, in YOUR opinion. but not mine.
its a joke about stupid people, and it just so happened that the figure of fun was dianne abbott, but it could have been anyone who is a well know walking gaffe.
and thats all there is to it from my perspective, but if you happen to perceive it to be any different then thats YOUR issue.

Don't worry about it. Norbs is just going off on one. I don't think anyone who has ever heard a Jamaican accent could concluded that it makes the 'y' sound less pronounced.

Why would it be meant to be read in a Jamaican accent? 
Countdown and County Down don’t need to be read in any particular accent to sound like one could be mistaken for the other.
