“ Yeh rossi is wrong, i was making the point Rosso that petty stuff like this gives the impression black people can't take a joke and want all stuff like this taken down etc when that is not the case and they haven't asked for it. And it then damages/weakens the BLM protest because it gives the impression they are just super sensitive and being all me me me and we want this we want that when it's not the case”

In whose eyes will it give that impression? The worlds media, the populous at large, or those who are coming up with any form of deflector argument and ‘yeah but’ to suggestions of equality for the black community?

Put it this way. The black community express concerns about police brutality, harassment, discrimination and death. The white community are concerned about Little Britain being taken off iPlayer and Netflix.

Haeslt. Or has there been a survey on the ethnic background of those opposed to this?

From my position of white privilege I can't claim to understand properly how the BAME community think and feel.

However, I am uncomfortable about censorship going too far as well.

I think the statue being taken down in Bristol is fair game as that was in a public place. However, shows like Little Britain, for me at least, are mocking stereotypes rather than mocking the individuals IMO.

It's a difficult subject though and one that better minds than me struggle with. I'll happily admit that I live in an area where most people are white so I don't have the multi-cultural experience. However, I do also know I'd have no problem at all with a BAME moving in next door as long as they're a decent person.

Judging how you disagree with racism, I’d always assumed you weren’t white.

Why put ‘racist’ next to Winston Churchill. It’s pretty obvious he was one

Who wasn’t a racist back then though everyone in that day and age would have been considered a racist and a sexist nowadays

Still wrong but Churchill wasn’t a racist racist for them times

It was only recently that the popular thing was to defend Churchill. How things have changed quickly.

I mean his deliberate actions resulted in the death of lots of non-white innocent people no? That seems racist racist to me

......

His deliberate actions save the U.K. from becoming part of Germany. And quite a few other European countries.

People will always remember that far more than things ha did many years prior.

Churchill will rightly be remembered by most of the U.K. as a hero who kept Naazism out of the U.K.

Obviously there is the odd tool who would prefer it if Hitler had won.

Why did you call him a moron? you wouldnt have in person if you were chatting in a pub, just have a conversation, even if its with someone you may not agree with, no need to try and ‘win‘

So you’ll throw the McCanns under the bus for going for a drink and leaving their kids alone but you’ll defend a guy who was directly responsible for the deaths of millions?

🤷‍♂️

Do you think these two things are comparable?

And I am not defending Churchill. I am just telling you as it is.

no they weren't robb

they were an excuse for the left to cause havoc

find me any stat, anything to say there was rising unrest in the minorities

they saw a reason to get out there and cause trouble

and they have
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It’s actually weird that you think only the left care about racism
----------------------------------------------------------------------
well the right doesn't care

and actions like banning tv shows and other pieces of history that centralists cared about hardly align them to the left

yeah Sydney...unless you're going eastern suburbs aint much better than queensland

perfectly acceptable to call anyone from the middle east a wog, English people are pomm1e (I note even ja606 bans pomm1e yet its literally said by news anchors),

as I said on a previous article never lived in such a racist country before in my life

not sure how you'll survive given how highly strung you are at perceived injustice
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your debating is very immature and reeks of wanting to ‘Win‘ a conversation and get that ‘damning‘ last comment in. Maybe try being original on the internet and have a conversation?

Sale of DVD’s have soared apparently.

I loved Little Britain, but it was a bit racist at times.

You are creating a strawman argument. I am not too disparaging of Churchill as I think it is fair to say his role in the war helped save the ultimate evil. However his concentration camps in Africa or attempt to starve/kill Bengali people is barbaric and racist - these things are facts.

I’ve never watched league of gentlemen, but why was there an obsession around the mid-naughties in British comedy to do blackface?

Churchill was an appalling racist and a drunk that was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and that must never be whitewashed out of our history.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
