Nope. Comedy changes. Apologies and acceptance of things problematic in the past that wouldn't fly now go a long way for me.
if only a certain PM could do the same? But then again his comments about letterboxes, watermelon smiles, hook nosed Arabs, tank topped bum boys and use of the N-word never had much comedy value to begin with and were always just, errr, racist.

20 years ago, he's apologised.
No sacking needed.
Cancel culture is not good. People change, people make mistakes, people can redeem themselves. |  |

No. The Canadian Prime Minister did something similar and he still appears to be there?
The citizens of Trumpistan will i’m sure be frothing though |  | | |

Never heard of him. Not really the accepted thing is it, but I've always been unsure on this one when it involves acting/impersonations/fancy dress. Like when one of the Royals dressed up as a Nazi for a student fancy dress party and everyone got in a tiz. If there's no intent to ridicule on the basis of colour surely there are greater evils to be worrying about?
Understand if people are offended though, obviously. And if so, someone should be mindful of that and not go down this route. [Post edited 27 May 2020 10:48]

It's not like it was some skeleton in his closet that has been unearthed now, it was broadcast twenty years ago.
This is nuts. |  |

Morris men do it.
No, what I'm saying is that it's beyond stupid to compare Fallon to Savile. Do you understand that? | |

I stumbled upon it a couple of years ago when dealing with a particularly concerning junior doctor and didn't really want to call him a c*nt in front of other staff and patients - 'what are you talking about, you PELICAN'. | |

In all fairness, the practice of blacking up has been quite a hot topic in Morris circles for some time now as well.
Our local side, despite being as Brexity as they come, have opted not to do it, mainly because one of their number is Sri Lankan and has explained why it might possibly be frowned upon in some areas. | |

Didn't you vote for that bloke who's been saying racist, homophobic and sexist stuff for 20 years straight and has insisted he owes no apology even when challenged.
As I said, LOOK OVER THERE is the only argument the right wing has left now. A better idea perhaps would be consider the fact you're being gaslighted and move on. You'll be a better man because of it. | |

He was simply following his instincts. But whilst he can understand why reasonable people might disagree with his actions, he behaved with integrity. |  |

They drink in my local. And I listen to a lot of folk music. That is all.
I'm not allowed to join the side on account of having been circumcised. They only take complete pr1cks. | |

"democratically elected" has become an oxymoron in this country. | |
