I know old fuzzhead has made similar jokes at the expense of cyclists, but has the whole nation turned into prudish Mary Whitehouses?

Not one of his better jokes, but mildly witty. Irony is that lorry drivers will probably be laughing at joke not ringing BBC to complain - they love him!!

The drivers that work for me are all laughing.
I did train as a driver once but I couldn't get it until an older guy explained it all to me.
"It's simple really, clutch, throttle, clutch, throttle".
"I've got that".
"Good, now roll her in a carpet and dump her in a layby".

Killing sex workers is very funny..
Me and Peter Sutcliffe used to laugh about it all the time.
Well someone had to say it, and it seems to be my job.

All jokes are funny at someone's expense. People laugh until it's their special interest group - then it's offensive. Pathetic.

As I said killing people is a very good basis for a joke.
Not.
Is it lorry drivers or sex workers who are offended? Or lots of people?
I expect you laugh at jokes about gas chambers etc..
Or maybe not.

PC gone mad!!! Lots of jokes poke fun at all types of people.Whenever there is a high profile story on TV there immediately follows a deluge of,some would say,sick jokes(eg Princess Di,Gary Glitter,Myra Hindley,Paula Yates et al).Take these jokes with the pinch of salt they deserve to be taken with and either laugh or ignore them.Pretty simple really.I'm sure we've all heard jokes that hit a personal chord.Jokes are not meant to be personal and as a rule are told to the masses.I'm getting fed up with having to be so PC and health and safety conscious.Drives me to distraction.My wifes a teacher and the staff at her school have been told they cannot mark test papers in red pen as it is deemed too aggressive!!!!The worlds gone mad.
Anyway,how many Alzheimer patients does it take to change a light bulb?
To get to the other side,
The above joke is not meant to offend anyone purposely.It is meant purely as a funny short anecdote which some people may laugh at and some may not.If you do find it offensive please contact www.Ineedtogetoutmore.com/ondown.

Top dollar! Everything is funny to someone - fact.
Personally the atrocities i have seen have always been difused with 'sick' humour. Without it i would have probably been dead by now. Its a very valuable defense tool. If these jokes anger then just ignore them, it can often be a coping mechanism to either deal with or raise issues that might otherwise be foolishly hidden.
Everyone knows all lorry drivers are not killers, some of them are just slave traders!

Asbolutely.
Trench humour has saved many a man's sanity. IMO anyone who doesn't understand it a) hasn't been there, b) probably wouldn't survive if they went there, and c) can Foxtrot Oscar.

And you are a paragon of good taste. 
What is said in the pub or wherever is not the same as you say to your kids, or when you have the vicar for tea etc..
Bernard Manning used to be very popular. If I were to repeat an opening line of one of his jokes,on here, using his racially insensitive language, then I'd probably get banned. What do you think TheFatControlleR?
A jew, a n..
Better not eh.

Manning joke:-
My wife went to the hairdressers
She said "I want to look like Barbara Streisand"
The hairdresser smacked her over the nose with a hairbrush.
Not really acceptable, I'm sure.

Probably. Contractual obligation, nothing personal...

Bernard Manning what a disgusting twat.
Anyone who thinks he's funny isn't fit to be listened to.
I hope I haven't offended anyone there. Just my way of speaking, please don't take it out of context etc, etc...
