Green arrows galore in the comments
A seventies Lech.....along With oooh you are Awful. = Damaged Lives.HunterST_BFC wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:27 pmJim Davidson is possibly the most racist person I've ever had to meet.
I had to work with him and his "team" in '92.
It's a long story.
Cut short it involved Jim Davidson being hired to host a John Taylor function (Black Tory Candidate) and Cheltenham (Tory safe seat) election campaign and John Major and money.
If I get time (and can be arsed) I'll flesh this out more............
Fair to say Davidson is THE most objectionable "person?" I have ever had the the misfortune to have to deal with. Absolutely no redeemable features to this "person?"...
It was a more polished persona most would see on TV - even probably live and that was bad... but the reality away from his "Job?" he was and probably still is as rotten to the core as they come, ingrained in him.
I'll expand if I can be bothered - all true.
You are indeed Factually Correct.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 9:36 pmFair enough. You're one of the decent posters so no reason to doubt what you've said.
We seem to get on, so I'll keep getting things right, haha.HunterST_BFC wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 12:10 amYou are indeed Factually Correct.
Thank you.
Keep it up
Isn't that the grand total of about 400 seats then ? I think we know from this message board he would have a few local die hard fans.Martinc265 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:46 amHe sells out the Mechanics every year when he does his shows, just saying
I lived in Newchurch for twenty odd years cant recall that one!claptrappers_union wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 5:51 pmIn think he courted / married a girl from Newchurch, that was his connection to Rossendale
I was told she was from Newchurch... anyway when I went to see him in Blackburn, he listed a lot of local towns, and mentioned Crawshawbooth, Rawtenstall and Bacup - he said he was used to see a girl in Rawtenstall... might’ve been part of his planned patter depending which town he was performing in, but it sounded like he new the area quite well...
Newchurch in Rossendale Frank...yea?FactualFrank wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 6:53 pmProbably know the same people. Do you still live there?
How interesting i lived there from 88 till 06 are you going to let on who you are,you didnt live next door to me and you was the fella that let his dog shite on my grass verge at midnight every day was you?
I don't live there pal. Good friends with someone who's surname is Roult and we went out around there.
Stephen? I used to work with him for Lambert Howarth & Son,well the same company think he worked at Whitewell Bottom and i was at Rawtenstall...small world innit Frank?FactualFrank wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 9:12 pmI don't live there pal.

You know, it is Sids Heroes, but I uploaded it years ago - not knowing the name of the actual programme, when I googled ‘Sids Heroes’ just now - it linked me to an alternative 5 min version
Not saying it was right but it was of the time. Why do you think BBC and ITV gave him prime time slots? You may not remember sit coms like Love Thy Neighbour and Til Death Do us Part? Again prime time slots. They were overtly racist but were of the time. Thankfully most people are enlightened now.Guppyspotter wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 9:40 pmHe's about as welcome in my world as dogshite on my shoes. As for his views and material being 'of their time' I don't agree. Being a racist cnut; it's never been ok, it's just a poor excuse for people who were racists then and possibly racists now.
Till Death Do Us Part was taking the p*ss out of the racists and the fact so many numbskulls related to Alf Garnett and thought he was the hero character shows how spot on and brilliant it wasJenny55 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:12 pmNot saying it was right but it was of the time.

Absolutely brilliant character and brilliant show and as I say hilarious it still goes over the heads of plenty of the billy Britain flag w&nkersFactualFrank wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:30 pmHow funny was Alf Garnett though. A very funny bloke.
Agreed. Very funny fella. We're going back a few years. What.... 80s?Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:33 pmAbsolutely brilliant character and brilliant show and as I say hilarious it still goes over the heads of plenty of the billy Britain flag w&nkers
Think the original was earlier than that. There was also In Sickness and In Health and I get mixed up which was which but think that was maybe the 80s. Original Id guess late 60s maybe early 70sFactualFrank wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:35 pmAgreed. Very funny fella. We're going back a few years. What.... 80s?
"In Sickness and In Health" - that's what I saw. I'm 40, so we're going back to the 80s. What a funny bloke he was.Devils_Advocate wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 10:39 pmThink the original was earlier than that.
