But as a member of the supposedly injured party, I'm not making a fuss.

Maybe not , maybe some people can take it others can't but just for once think of it this way-
If it had been the other way about, colourwise, there would have been uproar among the asian community and the the makers of Corrie would probably have been taken to court, can you imagine a white actor saying "Black trash" on Corrie? Only today has a man been jailed for emailing racist comments to a local community centre.Whoever wrote that Episode should consider the audience it goes out too¬! only last month Ofcom reported that people found "*******" offence in 2 episodes of Corrie

Good-oh. Now why don't we get back to discussing why Rosie hasn't been publicly flogged?

while we're at it why not flog the script writer's who make characters comment negatively on ginger haired people, fat people, christian people, gay people. straight people, old people, dead people etc.

it is a bit one sided i agree, nobody would dream of name calling a black or asian character in the programme but they can name call us but is it worth two pages of arguing about it?

lets get back on topic

We all know what the B stands for in BNP - it sure ain't "British"...

The remark went completely over my head - why all the fuss?

Imagine the outrage if it would have been racism towards a minority....Im sure the BNP have ulterior motives in this, either to deflect attention off Griffin in the news or to create a bit of a furore. But this racism towards the majority should still be treated the same as any racism towards a minority group!

It wasn't corrie being racist. It was one character using a remark that could be classed as racism and immediately being told that that remark wasn't acceptable

You may remember a few months ago Jimmy Clayton was racist towards Lloyd and Crabby, but because of the situation all viewers could see that that sort of comment wasn't acceptable

Ive heard a rumour (so no idea if this is true or not) that Bev meets a bloke on this cruise and doesnt return. I hope its not true as I like Bev and had hoped she might take over the Rovers when Shelly goes. She also works well with Liz and Deirdre.

at the start of tonights episide we saw rosie and sophie going for the school bus and what should turn up but a 'weatherfield wayfarer' in stagecoach livery.

we saw it again later when sunita missed it.

what happened to the old white bus, did clare write it off when she hit smichel?, smicheal?, chesney's dog

Madness,I can't comment,didnt watch it


You know, the BNP make me feel ashamed to be British.

But that's another thread altogether.

Please continue with Coronation Street-related material.

What is wrong with David? Do you think he was warming to Phil or was it all pre-meditated, the finger slamming etc?
