The police sketch isn't racist. In fact it's anti-racist. And recent reports in the media suggest that the police force is still guilty of institutionalised racism, even after the Stephen Lawrence affair. Great sketches by the way. I bought the DVD's for the wife's birthday. Tony 10-03-2005, 12:13 Too right it isn't racist! I think it was a referral to the SPG that was disbanded not many years later. "You arrested one Mr Victor Undungu for being 'in possession of thick lips and curly hair' " ... or something like that :D DanSumption 10-03-2005, 12:50 Excellent! And the Swedish Chemist... s'funny, only the other day I had that voice in my head: "ball, or aerosol?" ("no thank you, I want it for my armpits") Agent Dan 10-03-2005, 15:16 heh heh! My favourites in the constable savage sketch is when he arrests him for "looking at me in a funny way" and for "being in possession of an offensive wife"! Classic. Wouldn't call it racist myself, was just guessing at kirky's motivation! Do you remember the trucking song? |
