Little Britain removed from iPlayer and Netflix and NOW TV after blackface criticism

the right-wing exploding on twitter over this :skull: and they’re the ones calling everyone snowflakes

While I see it is insensitive now I don't think removing media helps. What's next?

If it gets banned/destroyed then it becomes more of an issue IMO. It's like the statues, removing statues that are glorifying slave traders is one thing, if they tried to remove all of that from the history books altogether is something different. |
Catherine Tate was better anyway

For fear of blame on the BBC more like
More hysteria |
I don’t see what this is achieving?
If Keith Lemon had not posted that apology on Instagram, the show(s) would have probably remained online. It’s nothing but an unnecessary knee-jerk reaction. |

Yes. BLM outside the BBC Central London Fear like they did in USA at CNN HQ in Atlanta. |
Don't really agree with this. I get that it's offensive and people would rightly never make something similar now, but it was a different time culturally (even though it wasn't that long ago but still) and the point of the show was that it was offensive and took the piss out of everyone equally, inlcuding the gays, posh people, fat people, disabled people, chavs etc. If people don't like it they just shouldn't watch?? Freedom of choice exists.

If there was a blanket ban on it I would agree. |

I was young when Bo Selecta was on tv but I don’t remember any of the characters being offensive, or it being a point of reference for controversy. |

Little Britain and its depiction of black characters, transgender characters and gay characters has been a big discussion the last couple of years. |
