Is this what passes for humour in Calgary, HM Prison Services, the Army or anywhere else?

If one finds it humorous, I guess it does.

Professors and humour some might describe that as an oxymoron

The humour is no more! It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile.

These chav parents of today were the children of those who lost badly in the Thatcher years.

" There is no such thing as society" tell a generation that and preach about individualism and is anyone really surprised that the generations that follow could not give a flying F about society.
In the interests of balance......

You won't hear that accent in Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool etc. It sounds like London+West Indian. I don't know whether the accent is authentic or fake like the one's used by Jamie Oliver/Guy Ritchie/Anthony Charles Lynton Blair(when talking to the people)

Tracksuits and trainers must cost the price of small car, but when caught rioting you must complain that it is because you are being opressed by the upper classes and just want what they have (though you may express it slightly differently. I refer you to rule 4)
and you have to live in dagenham

Mrs Thatcher was the best thing that ever happened to the UK. I met her on a few occasions through business. Lovely person. UK could do with someone like her again.

I was thinking of setting up my own social media for Chavs and calling it something like "Mong Book"

The rules to join would be

1. Must not work or be in form of paid or voluntary employment.
2. Must own a full array of tracksuits and trainers.
3. When its hot you must place your Sofa on the front lawn.
4. Must have in in ability to socialise or communicate without the need to resort to some sort of violence on torrent of abuse.

Any suggestions on other rules that would make any decent citizen barred from joining.
Must have, or aspire to, appearing on Jeremy Kyle!
