Jim Davidson

A racist,and sexist prick stuck in 1983, who tries to disguise it in comedy.

Black people received Dogs abuse back in the day, from him and that fat fucker Manning who singled them out for special treatment.

Thank fuck times have changed and black people dont have to accept his kind of shit anymore.
With regard to your first comment, give us a list of your comedy do's and donts then? It must be hard writing a routine just to suit an individual such as you.
Also if you can quote me one joke where jd gives "dogs abuse" to anyone, ld love to hear It.
Bernard manning ran his club nights to packed audiencies for years. He had all in his club, and welcomed, and took the piss out of them all. You calling a dead man a fat fucker is ok then is It?
Unfortunatly, times havent changed as you say, but its fuck all to do with comedy then, or comedy now.
 
I normally rail against revisionist attempts to ban/blacklist things that have just failed to move with the times, but JD truly deserves never to be heard again imho. I say that as someone who will to a point defend Bernard Manning. There was never anything funny about 'Chalky White', it was just a lazy and slightly sinister attempt to perpetuate a set of values that were not even acceptable at the time.

I’ve rewatched Max and Paddy’s Road to Nowhere recently and laughed my backside off. Ridiculously funny.

I hear Kay isn’t a nice man, tbh. I know a couple of people in comedy.
It’s subjective but I’ve heard he’s not a nice man “off camera” much like Lineker who’s meant to be a dreadful human being. *ALLEGEDLY*

Deserves never to be heard again? So you're setting little rules about free speach? Lets hear them all then.
Chalky white? Im not totally convinced he ever called his fictional chararacter that, i think it maybe just have been chalky but i may be wrong.
You think he was being lazy and sinister when he sat down and spent hours and hours writing routines?
I found him quite funny at the time as did millions of others. To critisise him now for an act he did 35 years ago seems a little bit strange to say the least.
Yes its dated, all comedy dates, as do all art forms.
He has an obe and still lives here.
Im not saying hes perfect but ffs he doesnt deserve the crap spouted on here

this guy probably thinks the disgusting Frankie Boyle who mocks disabled kids is hilarious though....cos he hates Thatcher meaning all other sins are forgiven

I find Boyle boring tbh. His stand up has shock value for about ten minutes and then it's just all a bit meh. I'm not really enjoying the political ranting of his new show either. The travel thing he did around Scotland was well worth a watch though.

You listen to what you want mate, I just find him a bit of an unfunny racist. I've actually examined my own prejudice in this respect in that I'm not similarly appalled by Bernard manning. I've concluded this is probably because I'm racist against southerners or something.
 
What I dislike about all this, is the attempt to wipeout the past when little Britain and come fly with me were removed I was pissed off because like it or not it’s part of history In tv. If we take everything off that people dislike in the future we are going down a dark route for me. You can’t rewrite it, if you don’t like it dont watch it, there is an off button, they don’t show Alf Garnett anymore yet that show was showing the white man to be a racist ranting loon, we were laughing at him not with him, yet the snowflakes just jump on board and say it’s racist, no it’s not it’s taking the piss out of a bigot. The same with Love thy Neighbour it was laughing at the white man, the language he used was terrible but it was a reflection of times, if we don’t show it up for what it was how do you learn from it?
JD and others of his time reflected those times, are his views offensive to some yes to some no, but if you dont like don’t watch him, do you think people are going to rise up because of what he says I very much doubt it. I’m sick to death of people telling what I can and can’t say or watch, if they want to re run all this type of comedy, there are enough channels to do it just don’t watch it.
Oh and Bernard Manning was a brilliant comedian it’s amazing how everyone concentrates on his racist jokes when they were just part of a bigger show, again he took this piss out of everyone, if he concentrated just on one part of society I’d get it but he was a piss taker of all of them. We are taking about a comedian from the 70s nearly 50 years ago, I guarantee in 50 years theyll not be talking about one single of the modern day comedians as they are shit, forgettable and interchangeable.

I'm disappointed that this thread has not provoked more of a backlash. I'll give it until after country file then pretend to be offended and outraged by it to see if we can get it going.
