R.I.P. Sir Bob

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: When news broke that Sir Bob Jones had died at age 85, the nightly news bulletins all led with the old footage of Sir Bob punching a reporter - the implication being that it was a terrible event in our history.

Everyone this old mutt has spoken to didn't think the sight of a nosey bloody reporter getting a bloody nose from the property tycoon was so bad, and they enjoyed seeing the footage again of an enraged Jones demonstrating what he thought of a news crew barging in on him while having a bit of a break fly fishing.

Sir Bob's irreverence in thumbing his nose at PC Wokeness and its High Priests will be sorely missed.

There are very few left who can call a spade a spade with the panache that Sir Bob Jones did. R.I.P.
