I can imagine the likely excuse from Spitting Image as well is that they're not picking on just the one side (similar to what they did with Greta Thunberg).

But Jesus it's so distasteful and making light of what Rashford has been doing completely disregards the importance of it.

"Both sides" isn't an excuse for racist stereotypes though.

They gave Zuckerberg a big nose too because he's Jewish :fp:

Look, they make fun of everyone! Blacks, moslems, Jews, poofs, dykes, hysterical women, everyone. That's just part of the British sense of humour.

I would suggest you guys don’t get a caricature done at the seaside.

I certainly wasn't defending them for this but I just know that that's what people would claim is why it's ok for them to do this.

It's not ok at all.

A caricature is meant to exaggerate features you actually have not just add in lazy racist stereotype features because you're black.

I would suggest you learn the difference between a caricature and a racial stereotype.

What feature have they added that I've missed? It doesn't look any different to have the spitting image puppets they make. They all exaggerate features.

Rashford has a large nose so they've given him an extra big nose. That's what they do.

I don't think they needed to exaggerate his lips though as they aren't particularly big at all in real life but I haven't seen anyone mention them.

Caricatures are full of racial stereotypes. That's why I suggested they avoided them.

Spitting image puppets are caricatures. They are the same thing.

Exactly. That's the racist part.

Ah right. I hadn't seen anyone mention that, only the nose.

As I say I agree that's a stereotype and not necessary.

Do Torygraph readers not understand that somebody can be bisexual and date somebody of the opposite sex? The clue is in the name. :lol:

Why would you give so much of a shite about your adult child's sex life? They say they don't, but they obviously do.

Because it's trendy! People always force themselves into different sexual preferences just to be trendy.

It's absolute nonsense for him to come out claiming some sort of tough on crime stance when the whole system has been driven in to the ground over the last decade to the point where people are waiting years to go to trial. But then resolving the issue of crime in the UK would take work, detail and effort and those are none of things he's good at.
