Someone--Howie?--mentioned how few black US senators there have been.

 

My math is terrible (I can't even spell it correctly), but here goes:

 

There have been approx. 2000 senators total.

 

Assuming a uniform average length of service over time, there have been approx. 1200 senators since the end of the civil war in 1865.

 

There have been ten (10) black senators in those 150 years (and two of those were appointed).

 

That's not even 1%.

 

In Congress, (using the same math) there have been approx. 6600 members since the end of the civil war. 153 have been black. Roughly 2.3%.

 

The percentage of black people in the US is approx. 12% and was there or thereabouts in 1865 as well.

Yeah,but thats because they put all their efforts into sports! And none of them are in need of any help like!

Fucking hell. I reverse my stance entirely. Once you start pulling episodes of faulty towers, I have to start campaigning for the fascists. Fuck sake.

 

@Grinch How much is your EDL membership, monthly? Do they offer discounts for paying a year up front? Can you send me a referral link or something?

Faulty Tower ‘Don’t Mention The War’ episode removed from UKTV.

 

A lot of people on here that voted for great comedies are going to start changing their tune very soon. 

 

Got to keep singing from the same hymn sheet, no original thought allowed.

Or you could be nuanced and balanced and take things in context,you know stuff researched by scientists and not just a headline hastily thought up by a daily rag.

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly.   Not everything is black and white.

So was the woman who called 911 on the bird watcher in New York. 

 

Now, I'm guessing It Ain't Half Hot Mum is off limits.

 

Oh well nevermind .

Personally I thought "Love thy Neighbour" was never within limits. Horrible unfunny racist shit, full of white and black stereotypes.

" 'Til death us do part" has probably disappeared by now as well
