Oh lordy, will all this wokery never end?
The BBFC has become the latest organisation to wet the bed and fall over itself in a pathetic effort to appease professional offence takers. What’s it done then? Taken a stand against orgies of violence and sex on screen? Er, no. The BBFC has (wait for it) decided that its certification for the 1964 classic ‘Mary Poppins’ must be revised from ‘U’ to ‘PG’, because of *gasp* two uses of ‘racially discriminatory’ language.
I’m sure the matter is scorched into the psyche of cunters everywhere. I well remember swooning with shock as I watched the scene where the sweeps dance on the rooftop. From nearby, the batty character ‘Admiral Boom’ yells ‘we’re being attacked by Hottentots!’ before firing fireworks at them. ‘Hottentots’, as I’m sure every shocked viewer is aware, has been added to the ever-increasing list of words deemed offensive by some busybody or other.
But why stop there? After all, the chimney sweeps were ‘blacked up’. Disney should be censured for this inflammatory imagery. And what about Dick van Dyke’s insult
to native Londoners with his disgraceful racist mockery of their accent? I’m grossly offended by this crude and shameful caricature. Should he apologise? ‘Indoobitubly, Bary Boppins’.
Oh dear. I’m so overcome that I think I’ve peed my pants.

I second this on the basis only the very active ‘woke’ community who actively go out their way to look for this sort of thing would know what that word meant. I mean, I am a 60 year old bloke and never heard of it….and took no notice of it either when i would have been of the age group it was intended for when I first saw the film. when you are 8 years old so so there are a lot of words you don’t know the meaning of, but it didn’t detract from the enjoyment of the film and neither did I instantly become a racist because of some of those words.
I am very much looking forward to several traditional plays from Shakespeare being censored or ‘revised’ in due course due to the use of now defunct words.
I must also add, whilst watching that episode of top gear where they built a bridge over the river kwai? and used the word ‘slope’, I had never heard of that as a derogatory term to our slitty eyed friends, and I only became aware of its meaning in the context they subliminally meant AFTER they were told to apologise. and I don’t think I’m that uneducated.
Capital I Chuff Chugger capital I C.A.
Hottentots, what a glorious ENGLISH word…!
Time for civil warfare and to reclaim our once great country…!
Boom….🔥

This is like anything these demented oversensitive fucks get upset about.
Nobody gives a fuck about it. Yet one mardarse kicks off and big corporates and others cave in. I bet only one person complained about this, like the mad slag who spazzed out over m!dgit gems and the mong who got upset over Uncle Ben’s rice. Not a big deal at all, but cunts like the MSM and the British Board of Film Classification will make it so. As they bend over backwards for some solitary clinically insane woke turd.
Nobody I know gives a toss. And nobody (apart from my elder sister, who works at the John Rylands Library in Manchester) knew what ‘hottentots’ meant. And most didn’t even know the word even existed. At the end of the day, it simply does not bloody matter and it means absolutely nothing.
But these cunts get offended because they want to get offended. They wait for things to get offended about. Kids T-Shirt,s packets of sweets, microwave rice, football chants, ancient Disney films. People are getting bombed ane murdered in various parts of the world. Yet these shithouses are more concerned about a word most people don’t even know, or care about.
