  Yes disabled or blind people have just the same sense of humour as you or I in general terms. But not if they are the butt of the often cruel jokes. The laughing stops then. Jokes are very subjective anyway. Some attempts at humour fall very flat. But if I had a disabled daughter for example I wouldnt be laughing if her disability was the stuff of jokes.
  
  Some of this can lead to general nastiness in society and it can lead anti social types who are not too bright into taking jokes seriously and persecuting those more unfortunate than themselves....as we have seen on our news programmes quite often recently. Even disabled soldiers from Afghanistan have had this kind of abuse.
  
  So if a politician putting himself forward to serve his community also serves up this kind of stuff he has no place in public life. This guy was standing for Labour and was a former mayor. But he must be fairly dimmmmm...when you consider the sackings and uproar recently over public people doing the same thing and then as a consequence getting fired pronto. Then to still do it - dim.
