[Help] Has BLM gone too far this time?...

[The Clamp]

Lenny Henry has a brand new show on R4.

Too much.
Too much.



(It is, as you can imagine, awful).

 

[Is it PotG?]

He remains as funny as he was in the 80s.

I think the problem with BLM Is that whilst the sentiment is very important, the organisation BLM is highly political and has some very unsavoury people high up in its ranks .

I think a non politicised organisation like kick it out etc would be a far better option for footballers in the U.K. to hang their hat on .

I would definitely not support a trotesky type organisation like BLM .

Why’s that?

Depriving a transgender person of that role.

BBC ... keep up FFS.

Oh of course you completely missed the point of the thread.
Yeah, send it to the pit, the idiots are here.
That was quick, I thought a couple of pages before the numpties waded in.

Idiot.

He wasn't funny in the 80''s, so he's not doing very well then

I remember Lenny Henry being at Cinderella’s at Stroods Motel, no idea what he was doing in a disco but he had a few mins of stand up comedy. He was getting heckled and came up with “if your cock is as big as your mouth I feel sorry for your girlfriend”. Made me laugh at the time, but doesn’t sound so funny now

Bear Pit now please

Why? What's been said that's unacceptable on here?

Somebody suggested L. Henry not very funny, which I suppose might upset Lenny Henry fans, but .........................

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

He was even the weakest link on Tiswas. Sally James though

It has only ever been politicised by the far right who have tried to discredit it as a Trotskyist movement.

Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. Black Lives Matter is officially apolitical - certainly party politically. Of course, it doesn't exist in a vacuum, and so ends up venturing into social politics. It has to.

Anti-racism is not extremist politics. The denigration of BLM movement as a 'Trotskyist' movement (and therefore extremist movement) is a far-right, pro-racist fabrication aimed at gaslighting anti-racism.

Given your fabrication about BLM there, your post is nothing more than advocating an apology for racism. You should be ashamed.

To me, it’s a provocative thread title, ignore what I said if you don’t agree

That’s the joke.

Jesus wept.

Yes. Put it in the pit. Some people are obviously too daft to handle even the mildest edge on their humour.

You should tune in to Lenny. You’d probably like it. About your level.

If it's a provocative title thread to you, why don't you ignore it?

I thought it was quite funny (when I read the punchline)
