Has it ever been repeated since the 1970s?

Or is it considered unsuitable for modern sensitive audiences because of
its racial stereotypes?

It isn't the audience that's sensitive. It's the lefty/liberals who
run broadcasting, who would like to brainwash us all.

Better wear your tinfoil hat then.

This morning the BBC News I watched only covered what the Tories were
doing and only interviewed a Tory MP. This must be evidence of right
wing bias within the BBC ;-)

;-)

But were the coverage and questions put from a lefty point of view?

The episodes of HIGNFY leading up to the last election were hardly impartial.

Agreed. They were very nice to Labour and Tories and insulting to the
Lib Dems.

The idea is to get an equal number of complaints from both sides. Sadly,
the right wingers tend to be more vocal. Since they just love having
something to get all upset and self righteous about.

As exampled in last week's 'Any Questions' where
the-woman-who-used-to-work-for-the-CBI got very annoyed and loudly talked
over someone who'd dared to point out that mere evidence clashed with her
theories.

Maybe someone should raise a discussion about all this on a *political*
newsgroup. :-)

mode='stir'
If people want to talk about 'politics' on a topic closer to science and
technology, maybe they should focus on what Dawkin's prog on More4 last
night investigated. I've not yet watched it all, but in what I saw I was
despressed by yet another apparent example of a 'science' sic? teacher
who seemed to have no real understanding of science. It would be funny if
the consequences weren't so worrying. And it is being paid for with our
taxes.... /mode

Slainte,

Hello Bill,
Have you seen any of Pat Condell's Utube videos ? He has a great way of
putting ideas across with force and a wry sense of humour.
Pardon this intrusion but I really think he is on the right track.http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=.../0/pZmxMlSTETo

Richard H.

That's very good! Very amusing. How come we all agree with him but
nothing is every put right?

Ah, they do that sometimes. It's a sort of double bluff. Mind you I
don't think BBC News is all that biased. It's the values and
assumptions in light entertainment programmes that annoy me. Bring
back Bernard Manning I say!

No, it's the lefties who get self-righteous. The looks of self-
righteous disapproval I get when I talk in a loud voice about
Pakistanis,Gypsies and dole scroungers in a student pub prove that.

Wrong movement. You're thinking of the later one.

You actually think only left wingers object to racist comments? And that
left wingers approve of dole scroungers - if they are indeed that?

One thing I do find strange is how so many right wingers think the state
should pay for the care of *their* old folks - regardless of how rich they
are.

Well obviously not because I object very strongly to racist comments
but I'm not a leftie. What on earth makes you think I would be making
racist comments anyway? If I mentioned Pakistanis I would probably be
talking about illegal immigrants, and if I mentioned gypsies I would
probably be talking about the recent incident in which Scarborough
Council has spent £55,000 providing them with an exclusive holiday
camp, whilst they won't even provide car parks without height barriers
so motor home owners (who bring a lot of serious money into the towns)
can park. What's racist about that? A racist would probably say
something like "Pakistanis and Gypsies are the scum of the earth and
they should all be gassed." I think you've forgotten what racism
actually is.

And that left wingers approve of dole scroungers - if they are indeed that?
Left wingers are very soft on all forms of welfare state abuse.
There's no doubt about that.

Person One works hard all their life and saves up for their old age.
Result: the state takes their house and savings to pay for their care.
Person Two does very little work all their life, and boozes and smokes
what money they have. Result: the state provides their care.
