To be fair, if we're talking pies, it's going to be pretty hard to distinguish the two.

what did he cover them with?

Seemingly he wasn't a fuckwit racist at all, just anachronistic:
Bernard Manning's biographer Jonathan Margolis concluded that Manning held anachronistic views, just "like most working-class people in their late 60s". [BBC Online obituary]

He performed at the BNP's Red, White and Blue festival.

but the BNP aren't racist fuckwits either, they're just standing up for the rights of the indiginous people! 
(which is of course why they're raising an army of ginger freckled celts to drive out the anglo-saxon-roman-norse race-mixing incomers)

I thought he refused to do Red White and Blue?
Jun 19 2007 09:37
#17
if he did, it's probably because there was too much red and blue involved

He was booked, was going to play, defending the descion by claiming "it's just the same as playing at a Labour or Tory event.", he then backed out.
I'm with Barry Cryer on this one:
"The thing about Bernard was that he looked funny, he sounded funny and he had excellent timing. It was just what he actually said that could be worrying."
THough I would say of Barry Cryer:
"The thing about Barry is that he looks funny, he sounds funny and he has excellent timing. It was just what he actually says that isn't that funny."

A lot of people say that, I don't really see it myself, I never found him that funny. Anyway, as important as comic timing may be, comedians live and die on the strength of their material, his material was shit, politics aside.

aye if by "mother in law jokes" you mean "jokes about the blacks".
I bet you're like sooo ironic and not-PC that you think he's hilarious, because you're soo not PC.

I never said i found him funny. Don't think i ever watched him actually.

I'm kidding, and anyway he was shite regardless of being a prick.

See these petty bourgeois cunts who get passed off as representative of the working class.
He was a millionaire nightclub owner.
Even his da was apparently a greengrocer, so he never was working class even as a fat ugly baby either.
These they-look-and -sound-working class fucking little businessmen fifth columnists are everywhere, they really are. Poisonous cunts the lot of them.

indigenous is the preferred spelling, I think you'll find. What's with the bit in brackets? Are you just talking shite, or should this be given any level of credence?!

He was a bag of shite. The one I remember him for was the one he told on telly just as the 1st Gulf War was starting. He took his shoe off and held it up to camera, blew smoke from his cigarette into it and asked 'What's that?' ' As the smoke rose out of the shoe he delivered the punchline; 'An Iraqi soldier'.
now i always get these confused ... this isn't the turkey pie one yeah?
