Ha. Ha. Very funny. Really! Not so long ago. And why? Because it was a joke that skated close enough to the truth as to be sometimes indistinguishable from it.

Of course there were other jokes of increasing tastelessness. Just as there were and allways are with any number of subjects. Dark jokes of paedophilia amongst clergy and teachers long predated any serious convictions.

Stones and glass houses and all that.
