Subject: RE: BS: Mummers and Rascism
Well as a Greek, I was proud to be invited to play the role of the Turkish Knight at the Herga Mummers; and will do it again.

But I think we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Word is that Bob Fox and Benny Graham's show about coals (title "How're you off for coals today" or something like that) is also about to be banned, because it shows so many blacked up faces that it can give rise to offence...

And by extension, anyone caught not to have washed too thoroughly may also be prosecuted.

Tanning products will be outlawed too.

What a load of small round objects suspended between the legs of a male.
