I am offended.
We need to put these Labour party people on the DO NOT ADMIT lists ~ keep them out of here and off the immigration application lists. Canada should be shut down tight lest this cr*p metastasize or something.

I laughed my head off at many episodes of “Fawlty Towers.”
That image offends me.
You’d better have your wallet ready when you arrive in your new home.
That knock on your door? It’s a subpoena. I was just waiting for you so say something offensive! [:0
