Is Thomas the tank engine rascist
I was amazed yesterday when watching the TV News, They were interviewing a very dark gentleman, who wanted the Thomas The Tank Engine, changed. It had a "White" face. That was racist,
`Why can we not have him with an Indian, or Chinese, or Afro face.?`
They objected to a Doll called a Gellyweg as racist because it had a black face , Now they want a black face on a toy engine.
Why don't they make up their minds.
Brian, who is about to play with his Thomas.

No offence intended to any one on site, but to the daft idea that a Welsh train could be racist. K

Re: Is Thomas the tank engine rascist
Last year in NZ I saw for sale in many shops, '********s' and called by that name.
But this latest is in keeping with the looney left, remember when Andy Pandy was banned because they all got in the basket together at the end of the show. Called to be homosexual because of that.
Where do these people get their ideas from, no wonder the world is in a mess.


Happy daze John in Oz.
