In 1995, he was secretly filmed by ITV's World In Action barracking a black officer at police charity dinner. His lines included: "Having a night out with nice white people? Isn't this better than swinging from the trees?"
Interestingly, he didn't tell mother in law jokes... apparently they're offensive to older women.
So mother in law jokes: no, paki, *** and any other racist term he can name: yes. Obviously people with a darker skin don't get offended in the same way that mothers in law do
Whether or not he is racist I'm not debating, or his personal qualities as a man.
And just because he's dead it doesn't mean he's above reproach.Coffee's for closersComment

Oh, I know there'll be a few who won't mourn my passing, like mothers-in-law up and down the country. I'll never forget the day I took my own mother-in-law to the Chamber of Horrors in Madame Tussauds. Suddenly, one of the attendants whispered to me: "Please keep her moving. We're trying to do a stock take."
The one bad thing about dying quietly in Manchester is that I cannot fulfil the solemn promise I made to the old battleaxe. "When you die, I'm going to dance on your grave," she once said. To which I replied: "I hope you do, because I'm going to be buried at sea."Comment
