Bernard Manning

It is sad that he has gone. Also, as some people think he was a bit of the old school comedy routine, making fun of the immigrant, or someone who is perceived as lower or stupider than him/us.
Went to his Club up in Moston, Manchester for a stag do. Was pretty funny. One line of his that I thought was a little bit humourous.... . He saw a young lady in the front row. She was the Hen in a Hen night outing,. He said to her

" EEh, You look nice love,... Nice dress... stand up and give us a twirl", which she did. He then replied, " If you were my daughter I'd still be bathing you"

Not very PC at all. But on the night was very funny. So to get to the actual point of this post and thread. I think he will be missed.

I think the PC lot see the minority jokes as a direct insult and can't see that you can actually take the p### out of something in a lighthearted way.
Case in point: In that article linked further up theres a polish joke, I'm part Polish and I'm not crying discrimination; because its a JOKE.

RIP

Completely stand by what I said up top, and I agree with what Philip said too.

The man was a racist bigot and I don't mourn his death. GBR in fact.

I wonder how many of the "down with Bernard" Brigade have never had a giggle or chastised somebody based on their race, colour or creed? Not openly of course, heaven forbid, it's not seen as being correct!

Not that they would admit to it as it may upset the balance of their incredibly high pedestal.
