Yes, more than likely commenting how ridiculous it was. If he hadnt apologised (no doubt made to by a producer in his ear) not a single complaint would have been made. Nada. Zilch.

As said, not a single complaint would have been made. As for Tyler, he has been slagged off all season on Twitter, he is past it, this just gave people an ideal excuse to pretend to be outraged.

Chekhov Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) 16 hours ago, Mister M said: I think it reveals a sneering and perhaps quite an old fashioned attitude to the cuisine of other countries. Perhaps Len Goodman should stick to, well whatever it is that he is expert in, and leave the culinary critiques to people who have more knowledge in these matters. A comment quoted in The Times sums up this ludicrous PC over reaction very well : Apparently the BBC is getting a lot of complaints about what Len Goodman's grandmother said years ago about foreign food. A lot of people said exactly the same thing back then because it was new to them. What Len said was [just] a fact. How can people have a problem with that ? Absolutely. Why are so many people determined to be offended these days ? This thread would be just as appropriate in the thread "Modern life is rubbish", that's how absurd it is, and worrying. You cannot say anything these days, and the trend is inescapable........ Edited June 7, 2022 by Chekhov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True that... also, has this "apology" actually been given... ...can't see any evidence of it happening (for obvious reasons). 3 hours ago, Chekhov said: Why are so many people determined to be offended these days ? Given your numerous posts in the forum, most of which (on face value) appear to be largely the same sort of thing.... ...I can't help but feel you might the best placed poster here to answer that question?

Cody's Granddad Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 John Lydon was on that awful Phil and Holly programme last week I think it was and he said a swear word on there. It was live and not seen anyone offended by that, made me laugh though Phil Schofield didn't know where to put his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
