I'm sorry I called your boyfriend a thug.
I actually chose the word for its callousness, as I thought it flowed quite nicely from "povvos", another thoughtlessly and simplistically loaded word.

If your boyfriend is a nice peaceful chap, I still think it's funny that he's taken a career job sorry with an organisation that kills innocent people every day.

Er, yes?

I am grateful for the apology, although I imagine you offer it in a slightly patronising tone.
I can understand a joke and a word used for effect, and I realise I have overreacted, but I hear such comments made without humour so often I've become a bit overprotective.

EDIT: Aaaah, I knew it was too good to be true.

So, because of your political leanings, you look down upon anyone who takes any sort of job with the MOD. Good good.
