I'm very aware with what your talking about and I totally disagree. So you really think there will be a backlash about not mocking people because of the colour of their skin or where they are born?

Keep all your old videos and DVDs of all these shows, they'll be museum pieces soon and be worth a tidy sum. I've got a video of Song of the South somewhere. Having said that on here I bet someonein a dark suit from Disney will soon come knocking at my door. |

So the locals did'nt put a guard around the staue of Baden powell to stop the thugs getting at it? And a number of other incidents that are happening around the country. I'm sorry if you don't think these things are happening but I don't now where you get your news from? |

That comment doesn't make sense. If you had actually read the news you would know that it was actually to stop the council from moving it! 
So unfortunately you trying to brand them as thugs is incorrect!

Totally agree! Maybe a backlash is needed. It is all going to the extreme. Graffiting Winston Churchill statue for one, absoloutely disrespectful and way below the belt. Why are the minority listened to. |

No please read what I said!
It was to stop the council removing it.
The police where there to remind those "protecting" it to keep social distancing.
The Council wanted to remove it! |

The problem with this episode isn't the plot line with the Germans. It's the section where Major Gowan uses the N word and a couple of other racial slurs. Now, of course, Cleese and Booth were intending to hold the Major's attitudes up to ridicule, but some people find those words funny exactly because they're off-limits, and that's not really comedy, is it? Nobody should be pandering to people who like hearing the N word for its own sake. |

Exactly!
Someone said on another thread that the inbetweeners have been taken down too but actually it's been removed from one network because that network no longer owns rights.
People want to believe this is just political correctness but actually it was only one scean being removed. |
