Our other bob
- 30 September 2011 13:23128978Keith, Brian says that the words: jungle, and bunnies, were not connected in the same sentence.
This should mean that Bob should be released from the charge of writing: "jungle bunnies".
I herewith declare the case over, Bob is a free man
Guard, release the man from the dock!

He was therefore referring to bunnies of the jungle variety.
I suppose that if one wished to insult a coloured person then saying "Sir, you are a bunny of the jungle variety" is a bit more acceptable than saying "Hoi, you there, jungle bunny" but Bob Frost has not actually sought to deny that he meant jungle bunnies.
He later explained what he really meant on Facebook: "I have just had a phone call that accused me of racism for my above posting. Looking at the dictionary it would appear that the term jungle bunnies is perjorative [sic] and is a racist slur relating to African-Americans. Needless to say I did not mean to use any offensive racist term and was referring to the urban jungle." The councillor, who represents north Deal, added: "As for the bunny bit it was originally animals but I thought people might object to me calling fellow humans this so I chose something I thought was innocuous and also cuddly."
Clearly, as an academic, Bob Frost has led a sheltered life and was not to know that a bunny of the jungle variety was in fact a coloured person. The Urban Dictionary defines Jungle Bunny as "offensive term for a black man" and gives Thesaurus equivalents as "nigger coon porch monkey spook jigaboo black negro nigga spear chucker spade moon cricket darkie jiggaboo monkey niglet yard etc."
Have to say that I have never heard of most of these but I do remember the expression Jungle Bunny from donkeys years ago, particularly from New Zealand where Maori girls who liked a drink and were free with their favours used to reverse the initials and call themselves "BJ's."

The full version of what was actually said clearly depicts a different case to what Keith has been presenting over the past months, and it seems that the air has finally been taken out of Keith's arguments on this issue.

i reckon se chandler and mr elliott would not be amused eitherALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 1 October 2011 03:57129073Keith, if the local Tory branch were misled into making the deleted facebook comment of Bob into a hyper-case of top priority, as you want them to, they would guaranteed lose the next local election, as people would be stunned that so many local issues were but a nothingness in comparison to this one issue.
It would imply that, for the Tory branch, the local people and their needs, and the issues that need solving in this area, were far less important than the words: jungle bunnies.
Furthermore, your prophecies on the Tories losing and Labour coming to power would come true! This would be a local disaster.
You seem to think that the words jungle bunnies is a far more important topic than all the combined issues that a local party branch needs to take into account while in office.
It would be the end of the local Tory branch.
Oh Vincent, how you tried to show us our insanity,
but we would not listen,
and do not listen still
Instead we voted, but not Labour!
