Racist Del Boy

[yerself]

A joke told by David Jason on Absolute Radio has been deemed unacceptable by a spokesman for the station. No complaints were received but the spokesman said:
"We consider the views of our listeners to be very important and have received no complaints about these comments.
"We will continue to monitor any complaints and Christian O'Connell will issue an on-air apology in tomorrow's breakfast show."
How can they monitor complaints they haven't received?


The joke:

What do you call a Pakistani cloakroom attendant?

Mahatma Coat.

Is it unacceptable, is it offensive? I don't think so, have a read here:BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Jason 'sorry' for Pakistani joke

Hasn't everyone? It's older than jaysay and cashman.

 

[cashman]

not unacceptable at all n obviously not just in my opinion, even the whingers aint complained, an apology fer nowt is stupid.

 

[Neil]

It is that offensive the BBC website printed the quote themselves. I hope they will be apologising for that as well.

How stupid are things getting?

 

[***Mr D***]

Pathetic.

 

[Kitkat]

Looks like they are finding problems that don't even exist

[BERNADETTE]

Watch the complaints flood in now that it has been made public

 

[yerself]

I wonder if it would have been unacceptable if he'd mentioned the Scottish cloakroom attendant, Angus McCoatup?

 

[Lilly]

Yeh but the complaints are not from Black ethnic minority, most are from the white do gooders who think its rasict. You can not do or say anything without the do gooders complaining and being politcial correctness

Oi that is a case of me sending the racist person bashers round to you house. How dare some sassanach take potshots.

 

[West Ender]

I've heard that joke on the BBC many times over the last 50 years or so. Strange how it's suddenly become unacceptable.
