This is a normal post ah, he wouldn't though, would he?
All about the N-word and the P-word was that one. And poofs; don't forget the poofs.
Simpler, kinder times.

This is a normal post I thought his excuse was he was offensive to everyone

This is a normal post You seem to be confusing use and mention.
She was quoting the joke, not telling it. It's a hugely important distinction.

This is a normal post Which was my point (though more succinctly expressed).
Sadly, in this twitter-led age of comments shorn of context and left for the loudest idiots to decry in electronic lynch mobs, MPs should show more caution.
Not to mention lobbying groups sniffing out free publicity, as is happening here, predictably.

This is a normal post So if she was making a point on racism would she be justified in repeating on air a racist joke she once heard?
Doubt she would get away with that.

This is a normal post "Justified", probably, depends.
Stupid, definitely.

This is a normal post ^This^
It might be foolhardy, given the chance of wilful misinterpretation; but there're times when it'd be wholly justified. It rather depends on the nature of the (merely hypothetical) conversation in which it (merely hypothetically) happens.

This is a normal post Well it would be if the ends justified the means.
If as a public servant you're repeating a holocaust joke on live tv which is going to offend / hurt a lot of people you better make sure the payoff is worth it.

True story, I once had a director that let slip to the board he had never heard of the holocaust. Because of that the whole lot of us were flown to Poland to visit Auschwitz for education. Fucking grim, the smell of human hair that had been cut from the prisoners still haunts me.

Krakow is lovely though, if you've never been your should.

This is a normal post not really (confusing)
I wouldn't tell or quote the joke on tv, especially if I was in a position of public authority like she is. She only needed to say that there were offensive jokes about Jewish people in the publication.
