It seems that politcal correctness is overlooked at Christmas. Films like 'On the Buses' 'Rising Damp' the 'Carry-ons and many more comedys that was ok to show in the 70s are still regularly shown when sexist and racial predudice was 'the norm' I assume that people now see it for what it was and laugh at the ignorance of it rather than the humour content. But as with a classic book it would be impossible to cut everything out. All you can do is explain that society was different then or choose not to watch.

As for gutter press I don't read any of the sensationalist papers newspapers anymore. Regarding the murder suspect landlord of Jo Yeates they had published his name and invaded his personal life without any shred of evidence that he had done anything just because he was at hand. I always thought that a person's identity could not be published until charged. If that man is innocent his name now is going to be blackened whether innocent or not.
