Think that's why jim keeps walking away partly to shut people down but mostly so he don't say something stupid
yeah he was brought up and grew up in a different era when it was normal to make jokes about race/sex/disabilties etc etc its hard too go 40+ years
making jokes about the mother in law then all of a sudden its no longer politically correct to do so and you have to watch every thing you say
espically when your an off the cuff speaker/comedian
millions of people used to watch and enjoy his TV programs back in the 80's they aint all dead surely but nowadays
they are all slanging him off alot due to guilty of actually having like his act before the PC brigade stepped in
i remember an incident at a gig he was preforming at where seemingly he refused too go on with the front row all made up of wheelchair users
the press had a great time.
it was claimed he didnt want to look at disabled people as they would put him of his act, another report was is act was so full of jokes about disabled people he didnt want them on from row,
where he claimed he didnt want them on the front row as his act meant poking fun at people on the front row (like alot of comedians) and this would not work if the from row
was made up of the disabled
jims humour is from a different era but i dont think he is in same league as bernard mannings, i dont think he is a hater.
