The most shocking Daily Mail letter ever?

Thu, 2010-06-10 21:13 — Ed (the) Balls (not verified)

Most of the players in the premiership are from BB and the FSRB, so if you can sit and watch them in that, what's stopping you watching them during the WC?

What a bunch of attention-seeking assholes at the DM! Probably printed on purpose to raise a debate about 'political correctness' so their readers can rant about not being able to say anything anymore in their own countries. Best ignored.

I thought the Staggers would have given that accolade to the Zinoviev letter!

FSR Bulimia? Isn't that near Krautland and just across the water from Perfidious Albion?

Surprised that the Bongo do actually exist. Why not engage a vicious American law firm on their behalf and sue the bucks out of all copyright infringers.

i'm appalled that the person who was disgusted at the missing apostrophe in tournaments didn't use an apostrophe

I didn't use an apostrophe because there isn't one in tournaments

I used to be in school with a Mike Phelps - there can't be many of them around.

He was quite a joker. Must be him.

Like the way Bongo play footie - Ghana was brilliant the other day, how footie should be.

Ohhhh, I got Bongo Bongo Land in the sweepstake, don't stop showing their matches!!

I'm shocked that thinkov is shocked. To make things better: tournament's big guns.

I'm more shocked that this idiot wants to watch the boring and meaningless England games! (only kidding - good luck against Slovenia)

Sun, 2010-06-13 10:14 — Nick9

I'm neither shocked or surprised; the author is from Yeovil after all. A constituency run by the Right (dis) Honourable David Laws, It's typical of the bigots who live in the area, they support the dishonoured fiddling gay MP but find it okay to vent such racist views; that's Yeovil!

Sun, 2010-06-13 16:42 — guysheard

The Bongo tribe and hence 'Bongoland' do exist (In Southern Sudan) which is interesting to know. They do not have a nation and hence no national football team

Fri, 2010-06-11 13:07 — MAKootage

I'll have Mr. Phelps know that we Bongolanders have a fine football team!

As a Brit born and bred now in her late thirties, with family descending from the lesser known United Bongo states of the Caribbean, I find these comments neither shocking nor sinister. It can be tedious sitting through a bongo bongo match or an Accrington stanley Match for that matter. I don't see burning crosses just yet. Rest easy ethnic folk.

Tue, 2010-06-15 15:16 — Mrs Littlejohn (not verified)

I have this vision of Daily Mail reading, gay loving bigots in Yeovil indignantly decrying 'This countries gone to the dogs' before retiring to the FSR of Bulimia to renovate an old packing depot with a view to establishing a gay friendly B&B. The management reserves the right to refuse entry to bongos.

Fri, 2010-06-11 14:42 — velmabeeso

Bongobongoland have some good players this year. Typical DailyMail reader.

Tue, 2010-06-15 15:41 — Mrs Littlejohn (not verified)

Notice the entirely deliberate grammatical error

Mon, 2010-06-14 04:34 — Sarah (not verified)

if its that shocking surely the DM has something to answer for in actually printing it. If an article looks like it would offend people and the DM supposedly want to make sure that this does not occur, why was it printed at all? Surely their 'noble purpose' would have been better served in throwing away the letter rather than printing it, causing offence and then commenting on how shocking it is. The DM won't have stopped the writer from thinking it, they will simply have upset people who weren't before reading the comment! Stupid!

A brilliant letter expressing a persons true feelings not afraid of the shock horror it causes to the PC anti-anything English fundamentalists that is today's left

Fri, 2010-06-11 17:25 — George (not verified)

It really says it all about the Daily Mail that the editor published that comment.

Fri, 2010-06-11 17:42 — thinkov

i'm still pondering that apostrophe

Tue, 2010-06-15 17:24 — Danielle (not verified)

Actually, Ivory Coast (surely a contender for Bongo Bongoland status!) is currently holding Portugal (a "big gun"?) to a 0-0 draw!
It took an Italian to drag England in to the World Cup finals! Heh, heh, heh, heh!

You mean you've never heard of the FSR of Bulimia?

Thu, 2010-06-10 15:55 — Daniel (not verified)

Disgusting, yes. But shocking? Hardly.

Fri, 2010-06-11 19:20 — Euan McArthur (not verified)

Would South Africa not be considered a Bongo land? For that matter, wouldn't Mike agree that England is pretty well on its way to becoming a Bongo land.

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:06 — Ricardo1

And to think I cheered Mike on to his record gold medal haul in Bejing :(

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:09 — writeoff (not verified)

It shows their editorial priorities haven't really changed since the 1930's. Not perhaps shocking, but slipping ever deeper into the latrine.

Tue, 2010-06-15 18:34 — Reginald-Fah-fah

The letter is bloody nonsense!

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:10 — Jon Rowett (not verified)

"having" to sit through? can this fat fuck not get out of his chair?

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:10 — Arron (not verified)

Hilarious, not shocking.

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:15 — Alex (not verified)

I agree with Jon. If you're having to sit through something you don't like, he's either being tortured, or is too lazy to get off his arse and find something else to do.

The fact he uses Bongo Bongoland as a reference is just stupid, they don't even have a World Cup team!

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:21 — Shocking (not verified)

I'm most shocked by the apostrophe missing from "tournaments".

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:24 — @WebSquirrel (not verified)

Alternatively has anyone suggested to these morons that they just turn off the TV or do something else? Idiots.

''The most shocking Daily Mail letter ever?''

Nah.

Alla mina tv-apparater har en av och påknapp. Har inte din det Mike?

Thu, 2010-06-10 16:41 — Elizabeth Eva Leach (not verified)

Obvious typo in the address, which should read Yobvil, Somerset.

Not shocked, though: this is the Daily Mail.

Tue, 2010-06-15 21:27 — Lefty Liberal (not verified)

A fuckwit, writing a fuckwitted letter, for a fuckwit's paper. Yawn.

Thu, 2010-06-10 17:13 — Fastman (not verified)

That's all very well Anderz, but try telling that to the Daily Mail

Thu, 2010-06-10 17:31 — Cancster (not verified)

There's a strong possibility that the author was trolling the DM.

Maybe trying to see what they'd actually publish.

true. many years ago i used to troll the Metro like crazy with deranged bollocks about creationism, and they'd always print it.

Thu, 2010-06-10 18:02 — lula (not verified)

Haha I love the way people are seeing the funny side of such ignorance, best way to deal with such things!

Thu, 2010-06-10 18:11 — Nicodemus (not verified)

@Cancster obviously, youve never been to Yeovil...

Sat, 2010-06-12 00:26 — scotleag (not verified)

Didn't Bongo Bongoland beat England on penalties last time they played? And I'm fairly sure the FSR of Bulimia won at Wembley recently.

Thu, 2010-06-10 18:23 — Cancster (not verified)

@Nicodemus That is true.

South Africa ought to break with tradition: all the other African countries have European coaches: they should appoint a native South African who could instil some discipline into the squad: step forward Winnie Mandela!

Thu, 2010-06-10 19:07 — Jonathan Stone (not verified)

Everyone knows that the National sport of Bongo Bongoland is Rugby League and the DM knows this full well. It is just their old public school Rugby Union predudice shining through... yet again!

Daily Mail allows crass, moronic comments in paper .I would be far more surprised if you said informed,well thought out analysis appears on Daily Mail page .Mind you, cant say I have visited Yeovil, after this I dont think I want to. though to be honest that is pure crass over simplistic generalisation .Better get my application into the Mail straight away !!!
