Always Defending Mugabe

A joke made by English comedian Jack Whitehall. After seeing Robert Mugabe being interviewed, it is said that Whitehall's father errupted at the television stating that Mugabe was 'an odious c*nt'.
His Mother then spins round from the kitchen sink and screams for him to shut up and 'NEVER..EVER use that language infront of his children!' to which his Father repies:

'That's just TYPICAL of you Hilary.. ALWAYS DEFENDING MUGABE'.

To be used when some one has missed the point of a person's rant or explosion of explict language or just when some one has expressed controversial or offensive opinions.
