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.
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.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
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.

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.It's gone off netflix, an american company 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
World's gone madder.
Boycott German cars, Hitler.
Don't visit Chester, bastard Romans.
Stop listening to Aha, twatty Vikings.
Peace be with you.
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.World's gone madder.

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?World's gone madder.

What Germans,or Long Knives?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.
What Germans,or Long Knives?
I used to have plenty of the latter,but I only haveplenty of the shorter versions now.
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.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.

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.
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.Hitler is much too recent. If we are going to boycott German goods, we may as well blame it on the Anglo- Saxons.
