Tom Jones and Noel Edmonds discuss changes to Britain during the ten year period 1973 to 1983

Taken from The Late Late Breakfast Show(10/09/1983 - http://catalogue.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax/programme/LLVF142X ), Tom Jones talks to Noel Edmonds about what has changed in the UK over the last 10 years. He says lots of Arabs and new buses. I guess it was okay to say that in those days. This is taken from the same episode that featured Rich Smith nearly killing himself on live TV. This clip can be seen here... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u4F7uGleXaA

I was actually thinking this was gonna be more racist from what I've heard but actually wasn't at all

@ahdeath2007

What did you hear? Are you talking about what David Walliams said on his Channel 4 show last night?

[judgenutmeg1977]

I was wondering if youtubers could help me out with something that has been puzzling me recently? Every single human being i have come across in every walk of life when asked, has agreed with me that Noel Edmonds is a complete cunt. Every single one. Yet Channel 4 manages to find an entire audience every day that not only tolerate, but actually seem to like the man. Am i missing something?

@judgenutmeg1977

A sense of pespective?

[lkearse]

What's wrong with saying there are more Arabs in London now? He doesn't say it's bad, he just says it as a perception. There are more Essex lads in Dubai now...are we allowed to say stuff like this out loud? I'm Scottish, am I allowed to say that out loud?

[jeffrey44]

I don't know what is wrong with saying any of the above, but you wouldn't hear anyone on TV saying it in 2009. If you want to know what is wrong with it, ask your television.

Arabs and Buses? speaking about TV not so politically correct. On the other hand, a bit more than 10 years after this show, London had its share of Arabs exploding buses...

[oldies1]

Arabs... it is TRUE

[discocreator76]

Gowd knows what he'd say now, streets upon streets of Pakis and eastern europeans, as well as gangs of useless negroid criminals loping around the streets!

@bringmemybow We aren't allowed to be in case we insult a minority. Maybe in 50 years time when straight white men are a minority, we'll get to say what we want again.

Or maybe not.

[harper1875]

@wzkl Yes, apparently it is racist to acknowledge that they exist. And yet it is also racist to ignore them. So we are racist either way.

We must be a really evil bunch of folk in the UK going by all the headlines about racist this and racist that. Maybe we should be more like our Arab friends that Tom mentioned and be nicer to women, children, Christians, Jews, homosexuals....

[ahdeath2007]

@jeffrey44 yeah i bet tones of ppl searched out this clip but the show made it seem worse than it is

[ahdeath2007]

@sunkcontrol well its clearly not spelled like that you retard

[ahdeath2007]

@wzkl but why is it a big deal that there different ethnicities in the country whats wrong with them being here?
