This woman strode like a flame haired colossus across the landscape of 70’s and 80’s light entertainment. Apart from striding across the landscape (stage) was she funny.

I think that takes slippery slope to the extreme! WiseOwl has managed to correctly deduce my point. I'm not commenting on what the punishment is (but if you care to read my posts you'll see I said I don't think there should be a punishment) - I was commenting on the current unfair inequality in the consequences. The point is you aren’t thinking about it yet. But the fact you are discussing the fairness of and disparity in punishment/consequences puts you at the beginning of a very dark path. What if you don’t agree with the outcomes in these cases again and again.... Edited June 16, 2019 by I1L2T3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting fairness in the way people are treated is totalitarian...? right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably the BBC would be ok for people to joke about attacks on left wing politicians too then. What about a racist joke about a politician? Would that be worse than a joke about permanently disfiguring and potentially killing one? Who makes these ground rules? Context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caine’s act was often revolting Almost every comedian in the 70s made what would now be regarded as racist jokes, you can include comedians like Charlie Williams and later Lenny Henry too, get some perspective !
