Bernard Manning wasn't racist! I never once heard him slag off the British Grand Prix, the Grand National, or the London Marathon.

Ho ho, coat got....

Funnily enough I was in Manchester the other week and drove past the "world famous" Embassy Club.

why all the anti manning posts? let the man rest in peace!
so what, he told jokes. racist jokes were ok until political correctness came into effect (see "love thy neighbour") were they not?
Jim davidson though, please hurry up and "leave the building".

Guh?? Would that possibley be because racism itself was viewed as less moronic too?

wierd, i saw a documentary on old les dawson a while ago and it really changed the way i saw his stuff- here's hoping some one can rehabillitate the corpse of manning....

i fucking doubt it though-

even though he's dead he's still an unfunny fat retard.

I think you've missed the point. Love thy neighbour was actually very 'politically correct' (bollocks phrase) in that it depicted the racist husband as colossally stupid, with the enlightened wife being the clever one. viz-a-viz Alf Garnett.
Manning had the opposite effect. He gave racists an excuse for being racists. It was never 'ok', but he went some way to making it appear so.
I suspect you know that though.
