Surely some sort of award should be posthumously given to the great Briish comedian Bernard Manning.

When you think of all the good work he did for charity and his services to the entertainment industry I think a recognition of some kind would be inkeeping.

For many years millions of viewers tuned into their TV sets to watch him. The BBC and ITV courted his special brand of humour and lets be honest if Salmon Rushdie can receive an award ( for what ? ) then surely our Bernard can.

Who do you think upset more Muslims by the way ?

Manning was a pathetic figure of a man.

I must admit, I do find Rushie's gong to be a baffling decision.



Having been brought up knowing the teachings of the Muslim faith Rushdie must have known the immflamable nature of his writings would bring about strong reaction.

So we spend millions protecting the wanker.



Oh I also forgot about all the other classic books he has written.










Did you know he wrote the ''Naughty but nice'' slogan used by the actresss Patricia Hayes in a fresh cream advertisment during the early eighties. Well worth a knighthood.

I'm more disappointed that the hypocritical little shit took it. He spent ages slagging off the British state, and yet he went running to it for help when the, er, 'culturally different' members of his own supposed community turned on him. I suppose he didn't want to snub the hand that had not so much fed him as kept him alive.

Actually I'd be quite interested to hear from ANYONE who believes Rushdie deserves this acclaim.

Because I think he's a TWUNT.

But shirley it is a PC-world gone mad when someone is not able to write what they like.

And then what should we have done - let the idiots kill him.

I did try to read of his books once - fairly inpenetrable. So Ia m not sure what the award was for.
