This says it all really.

The scary things about that video are:

A: some will think it’s not a spoof

B: some of those will completely agree with everything he says.

He's the funniest comedian out there at the moment and nine times out of ten he hits the nail on the head.

I heard Jonathan Ross objected to the name of the Rank organisation because he would not be considered for a TV advertising role within the company.

You follow your own post about someone being unfunny with this?

Whatever next. Perhaps they should just change the capital M to lower case.
I wonder what the campaigner would make of owning an MG midget?

Just read about Uncle Bens ( rice branding ) and Lady Antebellum ( now called Lady A) too.
Never knew about these.

i innocently typed "Bridget the Midget " into google to see who sang it

it turns out "Bridget the Midget " wasn't so innocent as me

turns out she was a porn star in the 1980's

Let’s take this forum as a microcosm of the rest of the country.

I don’t need to say there are massively diverse opinions on here, but I will be amazed if anyone believes that Midget Gems are offensive.

Just who the f**k are these people who make these decisions on behalf of society?

Who the f**k sat in a meeting and said ‘we must change the name of these sweets because our customers will buy more of them if we do (which is what it boils down to).

Our world is absolutely losing the f**king plot.

Society is going crazy, there was a case a few weeks ago where a tourist had taken offence to a road name ‘Darkie Lane’. The local council jumped into action to change the name but couldn’t get the support of the locals. All this because one tourist deemed it may cause offence
World has gone crazy

I once had a pint of Dwarf black finger original….too much froth

A midget is a small person under 4 10”

A midget gem is a nice person under 4 10”

Life used to be so much simpler with Alf Garnett and Love thy neighbour lampooning life darn sarf!

‘Christmas come late’ but better late than never eh.

This topic will be like ‘open season’ to a bigot like you.

To save you replying, I’ll pen it for you.

“……Hey compadre, what’s your beef…….?

Gotta relax there…..go with the flow buddy……..know where I’m at….?

……nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade….as I learned from my good old pardners there as I loaded their babies up during Desert Storm….

……but I can’t tell yer too much cos….then I’d have to kill yer……

……..you all hang loose now…..til I ride back into town……


All bases covered?

I’ve seen a few boozers around the uk called  Black Boy.
I assume their days are numbered.
And we are probably not too far from the local White Horse being branded as racist.
Just where do we stop with this ?

The way to stop all this nonsense is not to play the game.  Carry on as normal and when someone says they’re offended on behalf of someone by something as ridiculous as this tell them to go away as their views are offending you
People are not there to be dictated to by a very small minority of people

My wife ordered some bedroom curtains which we later found out had come from China.

They look good but when they’re pulled together still show a slight ‘chink’ of light.

I don’t know where to start regards returning them & for what reason.

Sydney I’m assuming that your last statement was meant as some kind of slight towards me

Still not sure what you’re on about but then again most people on here aren’t as your main purpose in life is obviously to annoy and create bad feeling

I sometimes actually envy you living in a world that is detached from reality

I'll take it that a lot of your comments are slights against me phil including your last sentence, but I accept it's a forum and it's hard to raise the standards of some so I like to give like for like, your choice phil
