Clinton cards council estate xmas card

Bogwhoppit

Whilst I appreciate it will be humorous to many, I think they could have thought it through a bit better. Then again on the back of 'benefit street', and other social experiment television programs, Mr Gideon Osborne has handed the sanctimonious a shotgun and introduced a season to shoot the underclass.

Their head office was half a mile from me.
My next door neighbors worked there for years and were laid off two years ago  because the boss drained the business and  they went into administration..
Happy Christmas.
Jumped up cunts.

Personally I think that's pretty disgusting.

Considering Clintons was a company run into administration prior to being brought up cheap by US company American Greeting, so now like most big business despite liking the pound avoid full UK taxes maybe they shouldn't pass judgement on UK social morality.

Double post weirdness.  I think the first may have got held up whilst it was being noted by the CIA.

Somewhat tasteless and if I was a shareholder I'd want to see whoever let that see the day of light fired.

Having grown up on a council estate with some of the most friendly, lovely people around, this card makes me angry. It's stuff like this that hinders social mobility and creates an "them and us" mentality that is bad for all.

I grew up on a council estate too, and it was it with some of the most friendly or lovely people around. They were all dole scum, drug dealers, tramps, bullies, viscous dogs and vicious kids.

The card made me guffaw. People need to stop being so fucking sensitive.

You've just given me a game to play at Metrocentre today while I'm shopping/standing outside of shops with Wifey today.

I'll see how many I can spot.

Grew upon a Council Estate too , very funny and actually a lot more polite than it could have been , wife beating, syringes dog shit everywhere etc etc, to those that get offended ,, there are a lot more pressing things to be indignant about,,,,food banks for instance >

I really can't believe all the hoohah surrounding this. Anyway, it's surely only those living on council estates and on benefits that can afford to buy Christmas cards in the first place.

I think Clinton's producing a card about it though might be a bit short-sighted from a purely business point of view.
