What a load of absolute rubbish being talked on both sides of the equation (Frank Skinner misogynistic? On what planet exactly?), but this particular high watermark of self-important boneheadedness masquerading as ‘insight’ – what’s more, from someone who really ought to know better – deserves highlighting:
“In the 1970s, black and Asian people were getting shit put through their letterboxes,” says Herring. “But the world has moved on”.
What’s the matter, Rich? Those imaginary one-legged Asian women stopping you from making jokes about gays using hosepipes on their Benny Hill golliwogs again? Honestly, you’ll be dribbling on about Westward TV continuity slides next…
