Re: UKIP Calypso.
I wouldn't mind betting that nobody from the Caribbean has complained,once again the PC brigade complain on their behalf.What would've been said if it was in an Irish or Australian accent for argument sake'

Could this be the*system* at work, anything to keep Nigel Farage out in the cold. They are all running scared of him, and dirty tricks are not beneath them. I am surprised at Mike Read apoligising, for what????? i would ask, KT

Re: UKIP Calypso.
Two weeks ago on TV a woman was saying that Tom and Jerry, was rascist, it showed a brown skinned lady`s legs as she shooed Tom out of her kitchen with her broom, she had a Southern accent. So no more Tom and Jerry.
She then showed clips from various cartoons, ALL RASCIST. and disgusting for children to watch.
It showed several where the cartoon Animal characters spoke with southern accents, In Daffy Duck, and many others, Sylvester and Tweety Pie, all the ones I used to watch in the News Theatre on Church Street while waiting for the alehouse to open again after the 3pm close.
These films were made in the States and a southern accent is one of theirs.
All those people should be Sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Also all the people who believe all their crap should also be Sectioned.
The same Nut Cases said, nursery rhimes were also rascisr, Baa Baa Black Sheep, the field s near me have Black sheep on, I am sure they would be upset if someone told them.
The Three Little Pigs, because it upsets the mu slims. if they dont like it they can go and shag their goats and camels.
Brian,. who is getting PIG sick of this whimpish nation.
Read should stand up, be a man and tell them all to get stuffed.

Re: UKIP Calypso.
I am very offended,! Tom Jones , a Welshman,
sings in an pseudo American accent. He is not American so it offends Americans that he does that.
Am I going potty or what??
