The thing is, I remember even at the time people highlighting Little Britain as problematic, not necessarily intentionally. Matt Lucas even said in a recent interview that his 'only gay in the village' was used in homophobic bullying (not his fault, obviously). Vicky Pollard coincided with the demonisation of working classes and definitely broadened the stereotype and brought it to a wider audience. There were accusations at the time that the "I'm a lady" sketch was a bit dodgy. But the one I remember people thinking was blatantly racist even as it aired was Ting Tong the Thai bride. I can't say I really remembered the one with Bubbles and her black equivalent.

I've never really watched the Boosh, but with the League of Gentlemen, it's pretty clear that Papa Lazarou is not a black character, and the choice of the black minstrel makeup was a fairly deliberate choice for a particular effect, but not a comment on race itself. I'm not actually aware of anyone ever complaining about Papa Lazarou, except in a "What about League of Gentlemen?" kind of way when blackface is (often legitimately) criticised in other contexts. The problem you always have is with these kind of things is that they fail to employ any subtlety in deciding whether something is acceptable or not.

anyone who thinks the league of gentleman is offensive or racist clearly doesn’t understand the show, the characters or what they are portraying.

these people must be offended by everything. May aswell just wipe any tv shows, films, books from the last 100 years. A certain section of people have just lost the plot

LoG has been around for eleven years yet only now are the enlightened taking offence on everyone else's behalf and removing it. They are either cunts for not banning it before this week, or cunts for banning it now. Either way they are cunts.
 


I shouldn't be surprised that shooting people is the mandatory reaction to crime.

Nor that there's a quota of black people to shoot per year.
 
Its an idea - put a smile on peoples faces too

Have you read the paper he cites by the harvard professor? Very good actually, even if the stats data are a bit over my head. It seems this police fella has put his own spin on it. The actual conclusion is much less clear but well worth a read.

It's gone off netflix, an american company and has obviously knee jerked and took anything off for now. it is still on Iplayer.

It's like this bollocks about the inbetweeners and youtube this afternoon which turned out to be about copyright and not BLM

Nothing is being censored or banmed as some are making out except LB which was shite anyway

All for things being removed for being shite, along as it's not some sort of purge. Hopefully someone will find something offensive in Mrs Browns boys soon.
 
World's gone madder.
Boycott German cars, Hitler.
Don't visit Chester, bastard Romans.
Stop listening to Aha, twatty Vikings.
Peace be with you.

I've got my claim in against Volkswagen and I've taken a knew for what my Viking ancestors might have done. I am still working on the hitler bit!

Hitler is much too recent. If we are going to boycott German goods, we may as well blame it on the Anglo- Saxons. And not forgetting those blood thirsty Jutes. Crossing the North Sea and stealing our land and women etc. C*nts.

There has been a lot of people in conservative circles claiming the left would go this ridiculous with its requests for quite some time, I thought they were bitter right wingers but things are getting more ridiculous by the day.

Why are they focusing on Nelson’s Column? Start talking about educating people in school to be better people for fuck sake.

The original Night of the Long Knives was reportedly in 472 so the Germans have a lot to answer for. That said, I've hardly met a bad one.

Let’s turn it up a notch - Can we dig any dirt on history/production the Statue of Liberty or the Eiffel Tower? See if they can topple them?
 
They've basically taken over that part of town using guns (From what I can make out anyway) and wont leave until their demands are met - creating a society free of policing.

That's a situation ready to explode if ever I saw one.

I saw this news about Seattle on a couple of the American gun forums I frequent, and the general concensus is that these" protesters " will run out of food pretty quickly and will be glad to evacuate these city blocks they have seized.
As Napoleon once famously stated -" An army marches on its stomach".
 
Guys and St Thomas hospital now removing statues due to founder being involved in slave trade. Wonder if people will refuse treatment for same reason?

I think a lot of people on the left have lost the plot. Most people couldn’t care less about some of these issues - tv shows be cancelled for instance.

These same people who want to erase history, culture and the past have always wanted to do this. It’s becoming less and less about black lives matter every day and more about removing anything British or even anything slightly different - the league of gentleman.(not offensive at all)

it’s like a mass book burning or a chapter from 1984. There will be a big backlash to this, whether that’s in the form of counter protests or at the ballot box - brexit and the last election are examples of that.

If they remove the winston Churchill statue I honestly think there will be riots. Yes he did some bad things and probably was racist, but many including me see him as a hero who stopped a facist. It was a different era and it’s bizarre how we are judging/ comparing him to today’s society.

When we were evolving from the Primates and had not learned to speak, our ancestors used to make monkey noises which is really really racist. We should all boycott each other and throw each other into the docks.
