Believable though isn’t it?

I actually heard it in conversation about 4 years ago. I had a gas engineer around to remove an old gas fire and when he finished the job he said put that old fire on things for sale on Facebook and some paki will give you £40 for it. I told him not to use language like that in my house and he...

In other brexit news pasteurisation is to be phased out. Screw these frenchies meddling in our British right to get salmonella and listeria, it’s what makes us British said one government spokesman. Etch A Sketch’s and parachutes also to be banned in an effort to reclaim Britain because right, I...

Yep GB news ironically seem to be the king’s of cancel culture.

It’s a saying so off the era. It’s clearly wrong to use at any point in time but it happened and there’s nothing to be gained by deleting it from re-runs of old sitcoms to pretend it didn’t. Leave it in, make people be uncomfortable that it was ever used, it serves the purpose of showing us how...

It was very symbolic and a correction of its history. It’s right that it’s been dragged out and it would be right to put it back. But with a new plaque that contains the cancelled history of the previous one.

I actually now find Allo Allo funny (shocking I know) but it the sense that it was social commentary of the time when it was made not the time it was set. Funny thing is I know people who think it should be banned because it’s misogynistic and and anti french and people who think it should be...

I agree. The Woke BBC recently got into trouble for showing an episode of Dads Army and didn’t delete a line from it that was racist. I say don’t delete it. Show it but acknowledge at the start of the broadcast that the show contains language that at the time it was made was considered socially...

You’ve got to look at it as social commentary from that period in time. Most people are clever enough to work out that yes it was racist and it was a different time. My worry is that to change it is like the “patriots” who don’t want too much history as it’s woke. Don’t tell us Churchill was...

It’s probably a moot point as he also said Shamima Begum should be brought home so they’ve probably cancelled him.

From what Andrew Neil had to say on question time last night it sounds like it wasn’t the end of woke news (not that there ever was such a thing, it’s just news) but the beginning of fake news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58591909

I’ll celebrate when bendy bananas come back. Being serious though this is absolutely pointless. We decimalised in 1971. Basically anyone under 45 (about 60% of the population, err sorry I mean 6/10ths) had been educated in weights and measurements in decimals.

I always find his team’s boring to watch. For me it’s like he’s set up his teams to not lose rather than set them up to win. Which would also explain why Newcastle fans loathe him.

He’s definitely a better manager than some who have managed in the premier league, even some who’ve had multiple jobs in the premier league, thinking Mark Hughes. Definitely better than Chris Coleman, Steve Wigley just of the top of my head. Off current premier league managers other than what he...

Sitting in Limbo is another good BBC drama about a British story. The Windrush scandal. More specifically it’s about this guy Anthony Bryan: ‘My Windrush drama won a BAFTA but I still haven’t received compensation’ Now in another scandal because he still hasn’t received his compensation from the...

Just looked. The Crown costs about £70M a season to make. How’s the BBC going to fund that?

He did drive an Italian tractor though.
