Now even The Muppets are branded racist: Disney slaps popular show with an alert about 'offensive content' and it can only be seen on an adult account

Viewers are greeted with the disclaimer: 'This programme includes negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.

'Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.'

The warning is believed to refer to Muppet characters designed as stereotypes of Native Americans, Arabs and East Asians.

In another episode, the singer Johnny Cash plays on a stage adorned with the Confederate flag.

Some episodes of the show, which was first broadcast 45 years ago, have disappeared entirely from British screens.

Interesting that you hark back to an era when Mary Whitehouse was at her height, and garnered enough power that the BBC and other institutions were forced into unprecedented levels of censorship. She actually succeeded in getting films like A Clockwork Orange banned. She actually also succeeded in making the BBC ban My Ding-A-Ling by Chuck Berry.

It is amusing that people of a certain age rally against censorship and hark back to "when I grew up" - when you grew up when censorship was far stricter than it is now! If anything, your generation invented cancel culture. It's actually now we're far more accepting of a diverse mix of art, culture, entertainment and influences pushing boundaries. You just don't like it that's all.

Interesting certain people feel their civil liberties and / or right to freedom of speech are threatened but were happy to give up their freedom of movement and human rights?

That’s not true, she emboldened a huge portion of society. Do you remember Monty Python having to go on national tv to explain the Life of Brian wasn’t blasphemy!? Shocking times for censorship - we’ve never had it so good for creative freedom.

Life of Brian another film banned back when the UK ‘had balls’
