There's a clamour now to ban certain films and tv shows.

I see Cops has been taken down and Little Britain (never watched it)
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Netflix and iPlayer have pulled Little Britain. Never watched it, but the worlds gone PC mad.

Leigh Francis (Keith Lemon) posted a video apologising for the characters he created on Bo Selecta. So that'll probably be the next to go. Some of those characters were brilliant.

Things like this drive me mad.

Regardless of his extra curricular behaviour, Kevin Spacey was one of the best actors in history, but Netflix and co have tried to airbrush him from their portfolio.

All I want to do is watch KPax, and I can't. Sad face.

Jeepers Creepers

Talking about 'Little Britain' last night and what characters might have caused offence. We looked up a full character list and well..lets just say they got away with alot.

It was their use of blackface in some skits that did  it. 
I have more respect for a man
that says what he means and

Gone With The Wind has been chopped from HBO list

White men can't jump....a serious bit of racial stereotyping there.
Pitch Black....ooh, i dunno, sounds offensive
Last of the summer wine....nobody under the age of 60 in the cast, age-ist or what?
Black Panther.....I feel offended as there was no White Panther.

On a serious note, racism is alive and well in modern society. But, does anyone really think that removing TV shows or movies off their time is going to help remove racism in any way?
Sometimes people go out of their way to be offended.
I don't want to detract from any genuine incidents of racism but ffs, be realistic. Does anyone thing David Walliams or Kieth Lemon are racist? I dont. Perhaps some risque "comedy", but what comedians don't push the boundaries?

where do you draw the line indeed?

Watched a clip of the BLM protest in Washington when the black TV journalist was talking about protesters being taken away in Police "paddy" wagons...

I was suitably disgusted.

Only fools and Horses will be next. Some of the lines del boy used would cause moral outrage with some of today's PC brigade.
