Yeah, but Terry Waite wasn’t locked up with his f****** kids, say parents
2020-03-31
As the UK enters it’s second week of social isolation, Brit’s were urged today to draw on the experience and stoicism of Terry Waite, who was captured by terrorists in Beirut in 1987 and spent 1,763 days in captivity, the first four years of which were endured in solitary confinement. But his example did little to stiffen the resolve of local parents we spoke to this afternoon.
“It was alright for him, he wasn’t locked up with these little bastards” said Tracy Clunge from Rawmarsh as she attempted to stop her young teenagers from murdering each other. “Chained to a radiator in a pitch black cellar? Sodding heaven compared to this. I could live with social isolation, but not locked in with these two.”
“It’s become clear that parents can live with solitary confinement, but not social isolation that leaves them isolated in the same house as their own children” Social Psychologist Pamela Ayre told The Bugle. “Let’s face it they can be right little twats. I should know, I’ve got two of my own.
Terry Waite, my arse.”
