I suggest you have not read FF's comment carefully enough.

That's still not an answer to my question.
I suggest you answer the farkin' question!

You are dissembling to avoid admitting that your OP was openly racist.

Would that be an OROP?

As an observer I’d like you to explain what you mean as I am struggling to understand at the moment.

Can we make jokes about the white south African architects of apartheid, cos I know a cracker about an Afrikaner mother-in-law but wouldn't want to be cancelled?

I think that's three things. For clarification, Maureen Lipman is an Actor (Actress?). She is a dame as she was nominated for services to the arts, entertainment and charities.

What is dissembling?
Why is it openly racist? I honestly would like to know why?

He doesn't have a clue else he'd answered straight away.

It's almost like the charge of antisemitism has been attached to the warhead of a V2 rocket and fired straight into Fab Foodie's anus. Dry. No lube.
He's taken it quite well though.

I can't think of any comedians that have been "cancelled" recently.
Surely well managed venues know their audiences and know who to book. It's why I always go to see Jerry Sadowitz at a small venue like Leicester Sq. Theatre, and not say a mega venue like O2 where I could see Michael Macintyre, who I would quite like to see cancelled. Permanently.

Who gets to say what is or what is not acceptable?
It is interesting to me that the new secular woke religion has no concept of forgiveness, let alone tolerance, which the above quote shows to be true. 'Values' change and suddenly you can't grovel enough to the latest value you transgressed 15 years ago unknowingly. You have to protect yourself from what is now trending.
How do you know if you go with the flow now that in 5 or 6 years time you might be pilloried by the latest twitter mob when values have once again 'moved on'.
Clearly there is self-censorship going on at present if former tweets have to be deleted. You cannot say now what you would have said in the past. This is ironic in that the left in particular have always deplored censorship, at least in the West, but if you look at the old Communist block it was par for the course.

Does Maureen still refuse to work with pro Palestine actors ? The only canceling she's done is her Labour party membership every couple of months.
