I went to a fairly average inner-city comprehensive, I learned about the Empire and slavery and some of the unacceptable things this country did. Why then, do we have to have people legislating what we can and can't see?

People are having a fine old time pulling apart comedy and old films when actually, the thing that needs policing more is the Internet. And usually it's the same people who don't want us to see Gone With The Wind are the same people who don't want the Internet policed.

To me, it's all about company's competing with each other for who can do the most virtue signalling. Virtue signalling is rife

Correct

It's about blame, marketing and money

Oop that's a stereotype. .

It's not only the 'hard left' that know Hollywood depictions of sensitive subjects are glamorised.
As I've said on other threads I think the removal is a diversion, however it may be a catalyst for a generational shift change.

We are living through the early years of a new milenia... Change is good, the scales falling from eyes and seeing how different people have been and are treated is good.

As long as it is handled peacefully and sensitively I believe it's welcome and necessary.
