And it's a phrase which was used to describe him by his fictional father-in-law, Alf Garnett (played by Warren Mitchell)
He was also Tony Blair's father-in-law.

I'm afraid it will be totally lost on recent generations brought up on political correctness. The series was actually a parody on the establishment and the tories, but was misread by most of its viewers, very funny for its time.
True. Garnett was supposed to be laughed at as a bigoted dinosaur. Unfortunately lots of people didn't get the joke....

Less famously, he was in Corrie too - turning out to be a bad day for old Corrie veterans. Anyway, RIP.

He was also in Coronation Street, and married Pat Phoenix who played Elsie Tanner.
On that note, RIP Liz Dawn, who was Vera Duckworth, who has also died today.
