Don’t have to have a word against it mate, just don’t watch it.

The reason they chose a wog is exactly to make you talk about a show that would otherwise go totally unnoticed.

Spot on mate...I was telling the wife earlier.its a shame they don't have a paint drying channel.we can watch the guy painting a wall then just watch paint dry..it would be much better than the rubbish that's on the tv now...

I expect the new Anne Boleyn adaption will have a twist at the end, the strong black female character will chop Henry VIII's head off.

I used to answer my mobile with "battersea's dog home, you kill 'em, we grill 'em" until I answered once to the ex brother in law, when he was ringing to tell the ex Mrs her dad had died Lesson learnt

A left of field comment possibly but something that I have long thought to be true in regard to the English celebrating St. George's day.

I am old enough to have seen changes in England. When I was young St. George's day was not celebrated. No one cared. It was not an issue.

All the time that I have lived the Irish, Scots and Welsh have celebrated their patron saint's day. The English did not.

The reason, in my opinion without wanting to offend anyone is this:

The Irish, Scots and Welsh are defeated countries. Historically that cannot be argued with? Defeated by the English and in one form or the other forced to live under English rule in varying degrees spanning centuries. I am not defended the rights or wrongs of this.

For one day a year they took the opportunity to put 2 fingers up to the English and embrace their own nationality by celebrating their patron saint. Far more complicated than that of course and more than one day a year in many cases but...

The English never felt the need to do this. No one ever stopped them flying their flag or stopped them "being English". Until about the 1980's and full on in the 1990's.

No foreign nation invaded. No wars were fought and lost. A more deviant force started to defeat the English from within. And dictate how they lived and disassemble that which had gone before.

That is when the English started to feel the need to celebrate their patron saint. As defeated nations do.
