Here is the main part for your continued enjoyment:

But it has got me thinking.

It’s like the world has had a massive non-surgical lobotomy. Why is John Cleese mocking Hitler with the funny walk and finger above the lip? Offensive!!!

Do these whingers think it was glorifying Hitler? Or is the time honoured tradition of mocking Krauts now offensive?

Using that logic, Taika Waititi’s *Jojo Rabbit* needs to be pulled right now, with an apology.

And what about *Allo, Allo*? They mock both Krauts, Frogs and even poofs:

Things are now getting utterly ridiculous. Its seems people are likely to be offended by anything.
