Only 2 Days Ago,

I mentioned how the BBC thrusts it's PC views down its viewers throats,


and yesterday this hit the newspapers, Dad's Army now comes with a warning!


comment and picture from @Terrier1975, the BBC aired the film with the warning that some viewers may find it 'offensive' prompting outraged fans to call for the corporation to 'stop making issues when there aren't any', the broadcaster said the warning, 'has nothing to do with the general content of #DadsArmy, which is a British TV classic,' but said the film, 'includes a specific racially derogatory phrase.'


I should warn you now, if you are of a delicate, snowflake disposition, please for your mental well being stop reading now, as I am about to write down the 'derogatory phrase', used in the film, here goes,

it is the phrase that in the film Clive Dunn’s character made, playing the part of Lance Corporal Jones, pictured above, he fought in the Sudan under General Kitchener, and in describing the enemy he used the term ‘fuzzy-wuzzies’ oh no! I can hear the noise now as the snowflakes not heeding my warning, carried on reading, the noise is from the scrabble for their smelling salts! 

the BBC has placed warnings on a string of classic programmes from yesteryear in the wake of the Black Lives Matters movement – including High Hopes, The League Of Gentlemen and The Mighty Boosh, last year, the BBC was accused of 'taking political correctness too far' by removing shows like Fawlty Towers, above,

and Little Britain, above, from iPlayer over fears of offending modern viewers, media minister John Whittingdale said that while some programmes from the 60s are 'wholly unacceptable', ditching comedy classics that were 'still widely enjoyed' was the wrong decision, I agree, I also agree that programs the minister finds 'wholly unacceptable' should still be shown in their entirety, censorship of this kind by the BBC or media minister John Whittingdale is totally unacceptable, the alternative? throw out most of Shakespeare's plays and work your way forward from there, taking out any reference's that might upset 'modern viewers'.
