The Black Boy Pub.
Just caught the story on the one show... certain people want the name changing......its offensive apparently any thoughts? I'm surprised nadiya the baking "queen" wants it changing tbh....as muslims dont drink anyway.
Re: The Black Boy Pub.
I think the more shocking thing is you watching the One Show Tim-Bob

I think to save time anything with black in, should be made to change its name to something suitable, or just knocked down or erased from history etc
Re: The Black Boy Pub.
There's a boozer called The White Lady, they may as well change the name of that too while they're at it.

There's a Black Boy pub in Bristol. It is ironically situated on White Ladies road.

It's the Blackboy Inn and it's on Whiteladies Road. Neither have connections to the slave trade. The Inn closed a while ago and has permission to be turned into flats.

Re: The Black Boy Pub.
It's going to play havoc with songs like 'Black is Black'.
Neutral colour is Neutral colour, I want my baby back
It's Neutral colour, it's neutral colour, since she went away, oh oh
What can I do, 'cause I, I'm feelin' neutral colour
Or Michael Jackson's Black or White. There's a real irony in that one in so many ways!

Re: The Black Boy Pub.
It’s all gone too far!
It is racist to try to change the history of a country
I get no new names with racist undertones but English pub names attract overseas visitors rather than upset them
All these cranks should be given community service to give their minds something sensible to focus on

Just been watching videos at the Bromsgrove Spa Hotel, The Bell in Essex and the Holiday in in North London packed full of muslim men of fighting age when asked why they are where they some say 'I'm waiting for a house how much is this costing when we have learned the nation is £2 trillion in debt, oh Lord help us.

The only people who can possibly be offended by such a thing are people who think racist.

I'm glad The One Show have covered this. The Last Night of the Proms non-story fizzled out pretty quickly so it needed a swift follow up to trigger them again.

Re: The Black Boy Pub.
Physicists/cosmologists will have to find a new name for "dark matter". All piano keyboards will need changing to light grey/ dark grey. .
Lets not forget the sensitivities of south east Asians in all of this. Coldplay royalties are in for a downturn and bananas will have to be dyed. Ringo's contribution to Revolver will have to be axed or changed to Turquoise Submarine.

I think I have message board tourette's. I see a thread title that is clearly aimed at bringing the numpties out to play but I can't help clicking on it, reading it and tutting my head at the comments. Ridiculous.

Re: The Black Boy Pub.
Whilst the suggestion that town names like Blackpool or Blackburn should be changed is ridiculous I have to agree that now might be the time to make changes to names that obviously have racist connotations like the Black Boy.
How anyone can disagree let alone get upset by this forward looking corrective action is absolutely baffling
