"a fat white bastard"

[combwork]

Not a nice choice of words, but they were used by Trevor McDonald to describe the late Bernard Manning on News Knight; an evening satire show on ITV. Bernard Manning makes an easy target for Mr. McDonald; being dead means he can't reply.......... ITV are quoted as saying the remark was ok because it was late at night, and made "in a satirical context", but can you imagine the howling the pc brigade would make if a white comedian described Trevor McDonald in the same way? Jim Davidson gets bounced off Hell's Kitchen for using the F word against Brian Dowling, yet Gordon Ramsey swears at whoever he likes, and nobody bats an eyelid.

Funny old world, innit?:bang:

Just that clip made me laugh

THe funniest episode of Lil Britain I've seen was the one where the ex police man becomes a driving instructor and after coaxin his student into breaking the speed limit he has a go at him and his parting statment is

"No get out of here you black Bastard"

I was pissin myself!.. maybe its because the student was white I don't know it was just funny!

I don't think Bernard Manning would've disapproved, he could take it as well as give it out.

:yeahthat:

if you're talking about Bernard Manning then it is appropriate language and I'm sure he would approve if he was still here.

 

[Noclu3]

I think that is the point.

Knowone is really offended, but what if someone alive said some thing similar to him?
I am sure there would be an outrage/issue.

Knowone cares but some times a point needs to made.

Nowt wrong with that in my eyes, BM would be p*ssing himself now if he could hear it

Does anyone remember a TV series called 'Love thy neighbour'? Was well funny & never turned me into a racist!

Yeah I remember it.
It took the p*ss out of the white neighbour for being scared of his black neighbour but they said it was racist.
Same with 'till death us do part'
It was the white guy they were taking the mick out of but people didn't get it.

No, it pisses me off too and I am not a racist. I'm a taxpayer which gives me the right to moan.

 

[Venters]

they are sick of all the immigrants coming into the country & claiming benefits getting housed etc etc

But how much does it sound like the start of one of Bernards jokes?
