I did state the brand of humour, not him personally.. there was a swathe of 'comedians' in the 70s and 80s that relied on mother in law jokes and references to p*kis and chinkies, thank goodness they are now in the minority.
It's not a question of what's PC but what is respectful, yes some still find funny but not as many.
Not sure why you align this view with the nativity and porn issues that are in no way linked.

Roy Brown's humour is not everyone's 'cup of tea' but people who do find him funny should be able to buy a ticket to see his show or buy his dvd. In the same way that in a majority western democratic Christian country we should be able to see our children in traditional Nativity plays at C of E or Catholic schools at Christmas - especially seeing as how Christmas is a festival of Christ - but cannot now in a lot of schools, because the active, aggressive PC minority have exploited the passivity and apathy of the majority, and imposed their own 'anti-nativity' wishes upon us by intimidating the school heads and governors into replacing the traditional nativity with 'secular' plays.

In the same way, the PC minority are vociferously campaigning against porn, brothels, certain films etc, and also campaigning to have innocuous words such as; 'Chairman' changed to 'Chairperson', the labeling of 'Boys' and Girls' toys abandoned by retailers, and even phrases such as 'White Christmas' changed to 'Snowy Christmas' and terms such as 'Blackout' banned.

It's all madness, but effective madness nonetheless, because such campaigning is being very successful.

It is also a steady erosion of personal freedom.

I genuinely don't watch porn films, or visit lap-dancing clubs, or pay to see Chubby Brown, but I have no desire to strip away anyone else's personal freedom to do so if he so wishes.

Isn't Sony's capitulation with 'The Interview' just yet another example of the minority forcing their will and denying the majority from having the freedom of choice of whether to see this film or not?

No it is not in my opinion.
The issue in discussion is the UKIP members indiscretion no other sociopolitical issues, my opinion on that is that he was wrong and deserved to be expected to stand down.

Yes that is the issue in discussion, but I merely responded to your response to my post.

And, as I said in my first post that this chump is not the type of person we want in politics, the police or any 'official' body then - once again - you seem to be finding fault in one of my posts where there is none and arguing with yourself.

So, although I agreed he was wrong and deserved to be 'stood down', my main point in my original post is that this is being blown up out of all proportion considering how trivial it is weighed against all the really serious issues in this ****ty world, and how I am fecking sick of PC driven drivel eclipsing those serious issues.

In support of what I contend, consider the following:

Liverpool : PC Neil Doyle Dies After Assault - 3 posts
Cuba and America kiss and make up – 2 posts
Cairns Deaths: Eight children murdered in Australian home – 6 posts

While this ****ty load of crap has attracted 27 posts.

I rest my case.
