If there is a moral difference in the two situations, please explain it. It's not the same at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting an openly racist thread is against forum rules whether there is a warning in the title or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I’m on your side of the argument and Post 40 states it far better than I ever could, but I would struggle to answer Bargepole’s post. Telling him it’s against forum rules doesn’t address his point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylslinn Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I take offence to the Dreamboys - Too Hard To Resist UK Tour as it's degrading to men ! How about cancelling this one ! Women seeing men as sex objects, it's disgraceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's comparing apples (a venue which hosts a wide variety of different acts, some adult only) with oranges (a local family friendly forum where even swears are prohibited) Chubby Brown tells sexist, filthy, unfunny and occasionally racist jokes. If I want to go see somone like that then unless it's illegal I don't see why some middle class Karen should be able to stop me just because she may be offended. Offended by something she isn't going to see in the 1st place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen him but I’ve seen Bernard Manning two or three times. Once was at a dinner dance at the Grosvenor. I was with my mum and dad and feared I would be embarrassed but he was as good as gold in front of a mixed audience. The other times he was exactly what he was famous for. I remember him being secretly recorded in front of an all male audience of policemen and he got slaughtered by the press for the content of his material but boy, did he make them laugh. Like Chubby Brown, he knew his audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top4718 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The only time Terry Fox who decided on this has made anyone laugh was probably when he got the job as leader of the council, I don't really want the likes of Fox telling me what I can and can't watch, Brown went past his sell by date years ago IMO but it was never a hate filled act in anyway.
