Times change...

So Tom and Jerry now has to be shown with a warning that some people might find it racist.  We've been down this road before - there was the time when the Commission for Racial Equality wanted to ban a Tintin book and then there was the BBC's decision not to re-run the comedy series "It Ain't Half Hot, Mum".  I'm simply repeating what I said then, but are people really so stupid (and I think that that truly is the appropriate word) that they cannot understand that views and attitudes are forever changing and that things of the past need to be accepted as "of their time".  What happened, happened - you can't rewrite history (unless you're North Korea, that is).
