Fans of British comedies will be familiar with Fawlty Towers,universally recognized as a classic.In one of the episodes ("The Germans") the Major (a regular character) was expressing his opinion on Germans (he *didn't* like them).As usual he was going on and on in his typical pre Alzheimer's way (he was old and crusty) and used the word "n*ggers" and "Wogs".The scene was meant to point out,yet again,that he was a doddering old man who was ready for the funeral home and not any kind of actual racist attitude.

But that episode is now banned.It's sad because it's the best episode and because Marxists have,yet again,thrown the baby out with the bath water. But fortunately I have it on DVD.

Yep, that’s basically what John Cleese said. And also it makes the English seem stupid, and the Germans were the reasonable ones.

The other Fawlty Towers episode that comes to mind was “The Builders” which really piled it on the Irish.
