Where does that leave books like To Kill A Mockingbird.

In the same language quagmire where the ignorant prefer to ignore the anti racism message of the book and get hung up on the use of the N word in the work.

I'd imagine those calling for its removal from schools probably have never read the book as the overarching themes appears to be entirely lost on them.

Where do you stop? Ban Schindlers List over its depiction of antisemitism?

Saw him in Kilkenny in 2001, superb performer.

The policing of language is idiotic.

The song is a stinging critique of British colonialism. If you find the term 'white nigger' offensive then youve completely missed the thrust of the song.

Would love to see him.. Pump It Up is a belter of a tune

The girl I went with to it hated his music and even she admitted he was brilliant live.

He was supporting Bob Dylan, who was shite.

Elvis and Bob cannot sing to save their lives but they have the tunes.

I don't disagree to be honest, context is the key word.

And yet black rap singers are quite happy to use the "nigger" word to make lots and lots of money.

How ironic.

I like that song.

That isn't irony.

Soon we won't be able to play Sweaty Betty or Smack My Bitch Up without upsetting wimmin.
