Fake headlines like “IS THE INBETWEENERS NEXT?!?” - It’s just another way of turning more people against the BLM movement. But then, those sort of people never really cared about BLM anyway.

I agree with this, we are being diverted away from the real issues here...When did comedians become the problem?

Take down every insensitive comedy show you like and you still have racists running the UK and the US. :/

"Everywhere"?

Gone with the Wind has been removed from HBO Max.

Jesus just try offering something constructive or remotely interesting to the conversations .. . do you never tire of knitpicking or finding fault with everyone’s posts ?

The news was ‘everywhere’ ... not banned /withdrawn everywhere

I just did a google search and literally nothing came up about Of Mice & Men being removed from anywhere. I searched for the title itself, added news and then the names of various news sites yet nothing came up.

It's not exactly 'everywhere' if I can't find an article about it on any major news sites that would have been one of the first results to pop up. I can search Gone With The Wind and Little Britain and articles about the recent controversies are their top results, the same can't be said for Of Mice & Men.

John Cleese has laid into the "cowardly and gutless and contemptible" BBC after an episode of Fawlty Towers was removed from a BBC-owned streaming platform.

A 1975 episode titled The Germans was taken off UKTV's streaming service because it contains "racial slurs".

In it, the Major uses highly offensive language, and Cleese's Basil Fawlty declares "don't mention the war".

Cleese wrote on Twitter: "The BBC is now run by a mixture of marketing people and petty bureaucrats."

He added: "I would have hoped that someone at the BBC would understand that there are two ways of making fun of human behaviour.

"One is to attack it directly. The other is to have someone who is patently a figure of fun, speak up on behalf of that behaviour."

So John isn't happy

Didn't see this earlier, you edited in the rant afterwards.

You offered nothing constructive or interesting.

Do you ever tire of posting nonsense with no source? The news most certainly is not "everywhere" as nobody else can find it.

But, yes, it's just me finding faults with your posts.

So what if I’m guilty of a bit of innocent exaggeration by claiming it was reported everywhere ... I visit countless forums and all the usual online apps/ places - I couldn’t tell you where I saw the reports if I wanted to ..

I saw that Of Mice and Men was being withdrawn in few online sources .... then I dropped it in a post in here - surely that’s what a forum is for - sharing thoughts/ideas and passing on snippets of information ?

Anyways , I’m not the only one who has grievances with you .. . It’s kinda sad that you seem to thrive on all the antagonism - but if that’s your thing then go for it ... just count me out of your infantile games

Oh fgs stop turning everything into a damn argument. YOU picked fault, not me.

You're so sensitive about being questioned when if you just elaborated on your point to begin with nobody would have had to ask. Fool.

Couldn't give a flying **** about your "grievance" with me. Grow up.

Where / when did I ‘pick fault’ ??

I simply passed on a snippet of information as part of the conversation .... somebody queried my source then , as usual, you jumped on the bandwagon.

The most recent article I can find about Of Mice and Men was from 2015 when parent's in America tried to have it pulled from the Curriculum

https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...john-steinbeck

Can't see anything more recent. It may have been an old article you spotted Zizu?

It may have been something like that but quoted / recycled by someone else on Twitter/Instagram/ Reddit/etc .. “everywhere” you look now you’ll see someone naming a classic tv series that’s ‘supposedly ‘ been banned - I’ve lost count how many different tv series have been pulled/withdrawn now for example.

We (like basically everyone) did OMaM at school when I was about 15, and our (small, female, high-voiced) teacher did the voices of George and Lennie in a theatrical deep southern drawl.

It remains one of my fondest and most hilarious memories of school.
