I'm gay, I've heard all Bernards gay jokes and I was in stitches more often than not, why would I be offended? It's just comedy. I've heard paedophile jokes that I had to stop the car for or I would have crashed with laughing so hard, is it wrong? Bernard was good friends with Frank Bruno and Foo Foo Lamar the famous Manchester drag queen, now does that sound like a racist homophobe to you?
Such a strange mix - just shows that as entertainers and making people laugh is what it is all about. I have found no evidence to prove that life is serious.
Classic, wonderful. Loved the one about the Irishman and the steel capped shoes. Before the days of all this shite political correctness and left wing censorships. That was the coming of the end of an era when one could still be proud of being white and English and foreigners could be the butt end of our jokes. Kenneth Williams and Bernard Manning, both had their own unique style of comedy and British institutions in their own right. I miss you guys.
It just goes to show how stupid and pointless political correctness is when Bernard tells a Jewish joke and you see Ann Diamond and the rest of TV a.m. laugh,but they cover their faces because they mustn't be seen to laugh at a so-called 'racist' joke because it's the embarrassment of finding something which is perceived to be 'racist' or not 'PC' funny and or amusing in some way.
@rogerhoward555 u have more reason toi be racist than bernard does question where your feelings about white people stand if youcna be honest write them here
