Ive been out all day and no one has posted that Bernand Manning has died ?
Racist comedian for those who dont know.
Been watching tv most the day, but not heard anything! Heard Gatecrasher has burnt down though :lol:
yeah he was a bit racist but he was still pretty funny
one of the funniest men to ever live... people who say hes racist need to lighten up! i dont get offended when someone rips catholics, or england...
majority of racism is just people being too damn sensitive
I wasnt offended by him, I thought he was quite funny, but he was racist. Maybe a product of his time though.
Heres hoping he died horribly covered in his own piss and vomit :)
I had heard his body was offered to some Muslim butcher but the reply came was they didnt do pigs.
He could be funny but some of what he said went a little OTT at times.
Sad that anyone dies but in his later life he did not clean up his act he offended people left right and centre and since taking a turn for the worse recently his been a bit of a hermit in hiding apperently
Sorry that he died but he was not funny.
Cheers
Tongy
Never heard of him.

smh, i cant believe it
He wasnt a racist. he was an opportunist comedian. He would pick on anyone, white, wog, spick or chink. Theres not a person alive who havent told a paddy & murphy joke, or an englishman, scotsman, irishman joke.
Does that make me racist?

this is exactly the point i was making before... i agree
meh never thought he was that funny. I hear he was a horrible bloke though offstage.

complete opposite by all accounts. He paid the Council Tax for a pensioner who went to prison for non payment. He paid for a lot of Care homes Christmas parties, etc. - When his wife died, he moved back home with his mother.
If todays celebs done anything like that, then it would be all of the papers.
Fact is, its easier to push your views onto someone if you can belittle your opponent or shut them up for good.
Yeh he made me laugh at times.
People are too easily offended theses days agreed some of his jokes had racist overtones but they were hardly inciting racist violence and calling for the white man to kill all blacks.
Its no different to the black comedians and their "white cracker" jokes tbh though that seems to be acceptable.

A black comedian can say, cracker, whitebread, honkey, white chocolate and watch the audience laugh and smile.
If a white comedian said nigger all he could watch is his/her career ending.
He was doing some place in Nottingham early May, Ive never seen him perform, or even intended to, but I can tell you the place he was supposed to be at is a real dive :?
