It was a joke FFS - I'll leave you to it.

Dont let the TPD clique bully you!

What a bell end.

I'm afraid if Dimprawn loses all he has, he also might kill himself. Of course, he doesnt have any friends or family so least thats a positive

With a name like that how come he didn't have his 14 cousins, 17 2nd cousins their kids and extended families in there too?

Bravo men

I didn't attack him personally, I just made a sarcastic remark that his jokes aren't funny and he did tell racist (or at least very racially insensitive) jokes.

Interestingly, he didn't tell mother in law jokes... apparently they're offensive to older women.
So mother in law jokes: no,

You need to check your facts a bit - this is a quote from his obituary (which he wrote):

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."

What are you laughing at? Did you know him? Were you involved with any of the charities that BM helped?

But the popularity of the 1970s gave way to opprobrium in the 1980s and 1990s when Manning's repertoire of jokes about "Pakis, Coons, Paddies, Scousers and Yids" fell out fashion.

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?"

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.

an obvious racist troll

Bernard was a comedian from a different age. He was intelligent, witty and did a hell of a lot for charity.

Bringing him into this conversation to try and rebuff an obvious racist troll is imo deeply offensive to that great man's memory.

When I start finding Bernard Manning funny I'll know I've recieved it

If you find that sort of humour so offensive I'm surprised you haven't mentioned all the 'shooting MIL' jibes on this thread too? MIL jokes OK then? Bernard Manning told a lot of those.

[Spacecadet]

You're welcome. If you'd like a sense of humour I'll post you one.

Not sure it's worth dying for though.

It's certainly not

[DimPrawn]

Actually Indian families take debt, bankruptcy and failure very badly. Brings terrible shame to the community.

Not sure it's worth dying for though.
