Mapperleypie, you might do well to watch GB News before commenting on it.
There is also a very interesting, vlog, account/apology by Lawrence Fox on his thoughts on him being banned by GB News on You Tube.
I really don't have a problem with the renaming of a Dog. It's not a major character and the name is offensive to a large number of people.
Most people don't care about the Dog anyway and if the name wasn't in the original film they wouldn't have know it anyway.
It’s properly hilarious that not only they putting an asylum seeker’s centre in the middle of one of the Toriest places in the country, they’re putting it at an historic RAF base! The local gammon are frothing at the mouth with rage!Quote:

The faithful pet is run over in the middle of the film, and his name becomes a codeword for the bombers' prime target.
Viewers of the edited version complained that the dialogue was clipped, with key exchanges left out of the film.
More seriously we live in an age where misinformation and ignorance rules. By doctoring the past the Russians have whitewashed their role in WWII, and previously. Indonesians have no idea of the corruption that allowed them to take over the Western half of Papua. Bad actors are made good, and good actors bad according to whoever is in power at the time. Trump lives on misinformation, as does Putin and others. If we want to re-write history to suit current sensitivities then it all can be re-written again in some different way two generations down the line and our own real history will become fiction. Let's learn nothing for as Churchill said “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
Explain history, understand history, but going on to eradicate or misrepresent history is not going to end well.
Let's have a poll on the next word or phrase commonly in acceptable use that will become banned and will I ever allowed to be happy and gay again?
It's the name of a dog. In a film. In a piece of entertainment. A film which is based on real people and events, but is not a re-enactment of real events. Which makes some effort at accuracy, but which contains plenty of errors and omissions (see wikipedia entry) which are far more serious than the name of a dog. It's not a documentary. If it were, that would be a different argument.Quote:

Sound advice. You can start with "Honest" Lee Anderson (Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party) interviewing Suella Braverman (Home Secretary for the Conservative party) talking about immigration. "Honest" Lee concludes that she is doing a great job, how unbiased is that?Quote:

'Gullible Bast@rds' would be very funny if the p*ss take made any sense EP. Also who was talking about bias. I was merely saying, Mapperlypie would be better off watching something before commenting on it.
