It seems to me it's mainly unacceptable racial slurs and black face comedy that's now a no-no. Harsh but fair IMO. I can honestly say I'm gonna miss Trading Places and Vic and Bob's Otis Redding stuff that's for sure. There's gonna be some collateral damage with a few fringe cases that probably...
Why is it uncalled for? I don’t understand the reactions from some people on this thread. I can only assume that they are unaware of exactly how racist this episode of FT actually is. I see some posters that were fine with pulling down the statue now saying removing an old racist episode of a...
I knew exactly which episode this would be and why when I read the thread title. If you think it’s still ok to air an episode where one of the white characters uses two of the most offensive racist slurs that exist for referring to people of African descent you need to give your head a wobble.
It is a novel solution to the problem. Just tell the thickos that we've left by throwing a big leaving party, banging on Big Ben a few times and minting some commemorative 50ps. Then actually subtly stay in economically, while paying contributions but now having no say in how it's run. Keep it a...
The irony of one of NSC's most toxic posters complaining about the amount of toxic posters wasn't lost on me. This is textbook troll-like "look at me!" behaviour. Luckily I only ever have to read his shit when he puts it in his thread titles. The ignore function is a powerful tool.
It’s so obvious that before the end of this year there’s gonna be an announcement that “due to Covid 19, we didn’t have time to negotiate a comprehensive trade deal. We’ll try again next year.”
Working on the logic that we're capable of beating the likes of Norwich and Newcastle and that most of the good teams we have to play will likely have nothing to play for (also in empty stadiums) by the time we play them, I think we'll stay up.

I feel that this is exactly what Stephen Merchant did with their collaborations, which were much better than Gervais' solo stuff. I still like Afterlife but the series feels a bit rushed and less refined when compared to The Office, Extras and Life's Too Short.
This article somehow made it on to my FB feed this morning....

Nice to see The UK gutter press wasting no time in using this virus to spread more xenophobia. As for telling...
Ebola and SARS were not pandemics. If this "runs it's course" in the way that Spanish Flu and The Plague did, we will looking at between 100 and 200 MILLION people dead.
I don't think it will be that bad but it'll still be enough for me to treat overly flippant opinions on the matter with the...
I just discovered that he actually fired the US Pandemic Response team back in 2018 (maybe this has already been covered on this thread?)

I had to Snopes it cos as shit as he is I thought even he couldn't be that stupid. It turns out...
Spending on the NHS under Cameron and May was at it's lowest level since the NHS' inception. Boris has promised to spend more but it still won't be anywhere as much as it was under New Labour.....
