I’ll admit I’m not sure who exactly I should cunt here, but this nom involves the broadcast media deciding to no longer use the term BAME and the ‘Sir’ Lenny Henry Centre for Media Diversity who cajoled them into this earth shattering decision.
According to chippy Lenny’s above mentioned ‘Centre’, they surveyed people of colour and discovered that it is a term that causes great offence.
Therefore they have used everyone’s favourite knight of the realm’s power and influence to ensure that the BBC, C4, ITV etc, no longer use the vile acronym.
I may be wrong about this, but did those of colour not invent this acronym in the first place? If so, are they now cancelling themselves for causing offence to themselves? Fucked if I can work it out.
As for ‘Sir’ Lenny, since when did a man who made a career out of taking the piss out of black people hold such sway over the country’s media regarding race? Can i not have him cancelled because I found his Dr David Bellamy impersonations offensive?
Anyhow, this is the price everyone has to pay when you give knighthoods to chippy fifth columnists. Katanga!!

“SIR” LENNIE HENRY:
Time forus to take a knee as we worship yet another cultural icon – a man so talented, so omniscient that he makes Jay Blades look like an amateur. I refer, of course, to the comedian that makes the greats fade away to irrelevance, and actor laddie who, had they lived at the same time, would have reduced Sir Laurence Olivier to selling programmes, or scratching a living outside the theatre busking as a one man band. I must have missed his career as New Orleans master trombonist Hot Lips Lennie, but, no doubt if he said he was, who are we mere mortals to question it – I give you the self styled race-baiting academic, “Sir” Lennie Henry, who decrees that we should not the term “BAME” when referring to those of darker hue. The BBC are, of course, most impressed:
If one is Asian where does one come from – o you hail from Vietnam, or East or West whatever?. Who know? – who cares even?
As you will see in the article, so many hard-done-by peoples of “color” are affected and it is ruining their life here in the UK as they await their next benefit payment.
Sir Lennie started out as a piss poor comedian on an ITV talent show and the same company, Thams became his employer for several front of the curtain TV series, the BBC took him up, and audiences of millions would laugh as he went through his gaudy but loveable little book of characters. When Thames closed down and the TV shows dried up, he decided he was an actor, and by becoming brooding like Sir Donald Wolfit on a Thursday matinee, he was suddenly a classic actor – well we know what has happened to the theatre (“we’re dark at the moments, darlings” *), so this poseur now decides to try for the David Lammy Memorial Prize in race baiting.
Frankly, I don’t give a fuck if the BAMES come from Nigeria or Jamaica (though the latter probably have a better sense of rythym (or riddim,man) or if that gentleman over there came from East or West Pakistan – who cares?. The point is, they are here, and they stop needing to feel sorry for themselves and act as if they were downtrodden, to give BBC reporters a hard-on. If they don’t like it here, I suggest they travel to another country where they won’t feel so glum and miserable, or – just shut the fuck up.
* Dark is the term the luvvies use for when the theatre isn’t showing a performance, just in case Lammy (who, I am sure, is a close personal friend of “Sir Lennie” is reading – don’t want him to shit himself this early in the day
