Basil Brush is racist!

Azagoth · 16 Mar 2008 at 16:44

Well, is he! Apparently some dirty travelling types (****** to everyone else) didn't like the fact that one of there scrounging, tax dodging types was portrayed as an innocent old lady going door-to-door selling heather and pegs.

What's even more ridiculous is that the unwashed, thieving scum didn't realise that the programme is actually 6 years old and was only recently repeated. How come it wasn't branded "racist" back when it was first broadcast, or have things changed since then? :rolleyes:

How can it be racist? Gypsies arent a race. Its similar to muslims crying racism when people stand up to them. Its a choice of life not a race.

PS: I look down on gypos like they are dog dirt on my shoe. When i worked at alton towers easter sunday is unoffically called 'gypo day'. 6 year olds swear at you, teenagers run into the track (yes the track of a rollercoaster) and I saw some gypo bloke getting it on with someone in the bushes... probably his own sister.

since when were gypsies a race?

Gypsies originate from India so it must be racist.

Hmm, how did said ***** see it. I bet he doesn't have a TV licence, and as Basil Brush is on BBC, I wonder how he watched it... Unless he had a portable battery powered TV of course

That could only pick up BBC channels as everything else was too weak for a cheap tv?

The worst part is some saddo will take it seriously and we'll be out of pocket until the next economic boom boom :mad:

lol what ever next

And when Dame Rosie offers to tell Basil's fortune, he says: "I went to a fortune teller once and he said I was going on a long journey."

When Mr Stephen asks what happens, Basil replies: "He stole my wallet and I had to walk all the way home."

Sounds about right...

Rofl Gyppos counting themselves as a race.. a 'sub-species' or 'underclass' is a better definition.
They don't deserve any rights at all, but then again I can see a smile and the colour red appearing before my eyes...

'Gypo' is not a race, but Romany is, as recognised by Hague Convention and various EU directives.
