Where's our sceptred isle?

It's over there, between the sky and the sea.

Utterly pathetic.

He's only in it for about five mins, but he is very funny.

The Man Who Would Be King as an absolutely brilliant film, and one of Michael Caine's top three of his work.

I agree jim. Talking of which I don't think we'll be watching Zulu again after a bellyful of Turkey at Christmas. Classic Imperialism what?
Best we pretend Amritsa didn't happen as well and pull Ghandi off the screen. Oh my word. The Croke Park Irish Football massacre was shown in Michael Collins or was it 'The Wind that Blows the Barley'. Lets erase that from the screen and pretend it didn't happen less it may offend.

It’s quite fascinating watching this excessive stupidity out do itself on a daily basis. In fact, it’s hilarious.

[theshedman]

How about, Love Thy Neighbour with it going both ways.

[fender62]

not forgetting till death and In Sickness and in Health aka alf garnett
his wife else's replies to him were a hoot... the original film was hilarious..the bedroom scene...

Hi retro !

great minds almost think alike - I thought that said:

At this rate we will be spared repeats of 'The Kumars at No 42' and 'East is East' for the rest of our miserable lives. [ and so some good comes out of all this]

Hey yeah foo I am getting into this
Both Black Mischief ( Waugh E) and White Mischief ( film - Jock Delves Broughton shoots himself in front of Greta Scacchi. And he DOESN'T do that - he commits soodle=side in the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool and shes not there ) are both banned

Clearly this virus is driving folks insane. I think they've missed that on the list of symptoms.

I’d have thought if the “Germans” episode offended anyone it would be anti-Germans circa 1975.
Someone has done a bit of preemptive censorship without waiting to see if anyone complained first.
My advice to them would be, in the words of Lance Cpl Jones: “don’t panic”

[youngmafbog]

It's the institutional Metropolitan elite jumping on the band-wagon to ban things they dont like.

Like most of this nonsense it is nothing to do with the lives of Black people in the West and all it is doing is diluting the real problem that is there

Gone With The Wind is the No1 film on Amazon.
Stormzy says black people in Britain are so disadvantaged by their skin colour, he's going to give £10,000,000 to black causes. Ahem.

Are they going to change the colour of chessmen?

"There's something offensive in everything if you look hard enough."

only if you make a concious decision and want to be offended....

If Stomzy wants to hand over his cash to those causes then that is fine by me.

So long as he, and his cohorts, have no objection to white folk only giving to white folk, Asians only giving to Asians etc.

Personally I think it will only cause more division but if it helps some disadvantaged people to become good citizens then i am all for it.
