Seriously, the question of “is this offensive to Group X/Y/Z whoever is irrelevant. “I am from somewhere in the Asia Pacific and I love this show…” okay great and good for you “-and I’m not offended by this”, well that’s on you whether it does or not; either way it doesn’t matter. Any offence or none at all is entirely on the shoulders of the individual, thus creators and artists of unPC material like this shouldn’t be held ransom by insidious cultural engineering “I am offended/not offended” well, who cares either way?

Recently there has been a lot of talk about the series being racist. I sent a link to a Bangladeshi friend of mine and he, his family, and friends thought it was absolutely brilliant. I get the feeling that one of the biggest problems in the world today is that there are people who start a crusade protecting people who didn't realise that they need protecting. The result is that everyone loses out.

The PC Brigade are basically white people who have a inner-guilt about something and lead shitty lives so the way they compensate for that is they go on a self-righteous crusade to defend ''the coloured people'' so they can be put on a pedestal and get some sort of recognition/approval by the other PC brigadiers as they lack it in real life, the majority of normal people dont like them. They are pathetic losers with no life. They are snakes in the Grass, they use minorities to further themselves.

When I was on rookie training in the Hungarian army in 1975, we had exactly the same Sgt Major called Sgt Major Tarjányi . He could swear that I hadn't heard it since, I think he could shout over 120 decibels, and he enjoyed us being rushed through rookie soldiers back and forth through the pigsty. I think that the British Sgt Major Williams and the Hungarian Sgt Major Tarjányi would have understood each other very well :)

It's ironic don't you think that they axe a harmless sitcom which they perceive as offensive but allow comedians who joke about sex and horrible things like child abuse and incest? Hypocrisy.

I was surprised to find out he was born in London to a Welsh Dad, (I suppose his Mum was English) . But they moved back to South Wales just as the war started when he was 9. So I suppose he lost his Cockney accent to fit in? R. I. P. Windsor Davis, from all the La De da lovely boy poofs. Fuck the P. C. clowns. These idiots couldn't find their own arse holes with a map and compass, their two hands and a large torch. They can't think for themselves. And that's the problem. They psychoanalysis even the silliest jokes and demonise the people telling them. Pricks.

There was a kid who lived over the road from me when I wss a kid and Winsor Davies was his uncle (I think). I remember him coming to visit him and his family once (I think he was doing a show in Cardiff), he came out to say hello to us kids and we all ran away scared to death, we all used to watch the show so thought he'd be the same in real life, hahaha.

One the one hand a few twats who think this is racist and homophobic. On the other hand a few twats who think this is racist and homophobic and that _that's good._ In the middle, the folks for whom the show was actually made, who realise this is fine comedy with everyone poking fun at themselves.

RIP Windsor Davies. Another one bites the dust. His character in this a Sargent Major who was frustrated about the fact that he wasn't in charge of a frontline team of soldiers battling for Queen & Country. Instead he was stationed in the jungle with a rag tag band of army performers who also didn't want to be there either, but back home in Blighty! Comedy ensues. To the delicate ears of today's audiences it seems racist, homophobic, sizeist, sexist, etc etc. When it was aired on TV I was just a lad and it didn't once enter my head to think it any of these things, but funny. I teach my children to be balanced as much as I can, but external influences, especially as they get older will, unfortunately, have a greater pull on their morals than their parents no matter how hard we try. It's a dangerous precident to have if society has to censor everything to appease those who may be offended. My mum lived in Middlesbrough and when the ships came in, a mass of Chinese workers used to regularly leave the docks and she recalls, as children, they used to say, " The Coolies have arrived". This would be no doubt considered highly offensive today, but it was said more as an innocent and affectionate phrase. Nothing works if it is unbalanced and that is what is happening today. Be afraid as it will come back to bite us, especially those who are keen to soften society so much. Once again RIP Windsor. You were apparently an officer and a gentleman in real life.
