It was one of the most popular comedies in years. Everybody knew the characters and catchphrases.

Don’t sidestep the issue. It’s been taken off iPlayer due to this situation and wrongly branded racist.


Not denying that I never liked it personally hence my remark
 
Well I'd suggest to the people on the receiving end of it, it's absolutely a big deal.

I don't think anyone likes to make out anything. They just want the situation to improve.

I understand people thinking the rioting is wrong, it's not nice to see. But there have been dozens of peaceful protest on this issue recently and nothing has changed.

The rioting and anger this time has actually helped spread the message this time. People are taking notice, it's helping to change attitudes

It's actually pretty sad that the protest have had to turn violent to gain attention and effect change. I'm sure people on all sides of the debate would agree with that.
The only attitude it's changing is that millions of people are thinking "Who the fuck do these wankers think they are". Apart from the rather obvious statement that they will inevitably have KILLED many people through additional, avoidable COVID-19 deaths, they have also completely disrespected the incredible efforts made by the NHS and by the public trying to protect the NHS. In short, they have labelled themselves as utter cunts, deserving of zero sympathy. Zero.
 
That isn't true.

Or do you believe the Tories are fascists and deserve a beating?

he just angry and holds as much hatred as the far right
 
Thanks for putting words in my mouth. I would very much like it if violent actions weren't a part of the equation necessary for real societal change to occur. Sadly that's not usually the norm though and I would much rather see it directed at inanimate objects that glorify what is an abhorrent practice in our times than against other people.

I'm happy for you that race isn't an issue for you but if you don't recognise that there is still a huge problem for others then you are part of that problem. The only way change is going to happen is when more voices are raised against injustice of any kind. If you see it in the workplace, on the street or on social media then say something. The Dave Chappelle video posted earlier was a good watch if you missed it.

Please don’t accuse me of being part of the problem, I am not. I live my life in a peaceful way and treat others with respect.
 


Oops...



Still not taken it down or issued a correction. But it's part of a breed of "journalism" that seems to just involve reprinting statements from those in authority with no concept that they might lie to control the narrative.
