(My personal opinion!). Bernard Manning was a very good storyteller and constructor of jokes, and had some pretty good jokes about racial issues. Unfortunately in his later days he just seemed to turn into a very bigoted and reactionary person. He even openly admitted he was a racist on a late 90's show, The Mrs Merton Show.

And also, you've lived in this country long enough to pronounce Bernard correctly. It's BERNAD, not BERNAARD! What's with you North Americans butchering our language!

The Mrs Merton show with him on os a good but uncomfortable watch. I believe you should be allowed to joke about anything, but Imo he was a vile unapologetic racist both on and off stage, he did have good timing but sadly used it for lazy racism masquerading as comedy.

Oh really? What a shame. I guess it's better to admit it than not!

Oh I dunno, there are quite a few racists in the UK at the moment admitting to it and it's not going well for them!

Hey say it however you want, us English don't own the language!

Rob, yeah, totally agree. Nothing should be off limits in comedy (in my opinion it's a very important art form for that!). But if you're going to use your platform to spout lazy shit and target vulnerable groups then expect some backlash. Free speech works both ways!

You should have googled Manning before you posted him on your channal as this person is not liked here, and you could scare pepole away from your channal or attract the wrong type of fan. If you like comerdy with an edge, Then you need to look for Chris Morris JAM, Bass eye, Big Train, The day today, Stewart lee Comerdy Vehicle, Or Armando Iannucci The thick of it.
