Fawlty Towers: ‘Don’t mention the war’ now racist—BBC commies airbrushing history

Rowan Atkinson recently won his battle against a new hate-speech law in the UK that would have prohibited insulting language in comedies, etc, but that victory is meaningless as the BBC consistently take it upon themselves to be the speech police of the UK.

How offensive can the protectors of the offended possibly be?

When we see state-run media around the world consistently and repugnantly controlling speech; when we see them airbrushing truth and history, we can see an urgent need for private, right-leaning media to bring back some balance. Fox News is the only television network that brings objective reporting in a balanced way, but sadly that is American with an American focus; the UK, New Zealand, and other western nations desperately require right-leaning media like Fox. And the sad reality is the fact that unless we get control of at least fifty percent of television and print media, we are finished; the only way to bring countries like New Zealand back from the brink is to win the hearts and minds of the public—by bringing non-politically-correct truth back into reporting and general programming.

the majorMail Online recently reported that the BBC had edited a scene that involved the character ‘the major’ in the comedy series Fawlty Towers  because of so-called racist terms like ‘niggers’ and ‘wogs’ in the ‘The Germans’ episode. In part, Mail Online reported the following:

The scene involves Basil Fawlty and the major, played by actor Ballard Berkeley, exchanging their normal pleasantries before the conversation moves on to Basil’s wife Sybil and women in general.

The major tells Fawlty about the time he took a woman to see India play cricket  at the Oval. He then says: ‘The strange thing was, throughout the morning she kept referring to the Indians as niggers. “No, no, no,” I said, “the niggers are the West Indians. These people are wogs”.’

This is a clip of the uncut version:

I am completely perplexed as to who would be offended by the wording in the scene; obviously the intention is to make the audience laugh at a bigoted old man as opposed to terms ‘niggers’ and ‘wogs.’ The humorous part is how the major corrects his girlfriend about calling Indians niggers and then uses an equally derogatory term (wogs) in his clarification.

What I find far more offensive than the terms ‘niggers’ and ‘wogs’ is how these grotesque liberals can remove my humour without my permission; I am the audience and I have the intellectual capacity to decide what I deem offensive and vice versa, not them. These repugnant, liberal assholes don’t have any right to remove one’s intellect; the message they are sending with their arrogance is ‘you are a simpleton; we’re smarter than you.’   

This is a clip of Basil goose-stepping which wasn’t cut:

Footnote: It is interesting to note how the speech police deemed ‘niggers’ and ‘wogs’ as being offensive terms but didn’t find the term ‘kraut’ to be offensive. Do you think this could possibly be due to the fact that Germans are white and whites don’t get offended; do you think this could possibly be due to the fact that the world is permitted to offend whites?

For me, personally, I couldn’t give a damn about people insulting me with words like ‘honky,’etc., as they are just words, but I take great offence at liberals who want to stifle free speech—a fundamental that sets us apart from communists.

With Michael Bates in "blackface" and Sgt Major Williams deriding the Concert Party as being a "bunch of poofs"! I wonder if It Ain't Half Hot Mum ever gets replayed?

Thanks for that, Urban, I think I can recall that now. I doubt it would get replayed.
