Along with the anger towards statues of people involved in slavery being torn down which I completely understand and respect, there is a stupid ignorant element damaging statues that have nothing to do with any crime being perpetrated by those the bust represents.
In England STUPID people are after the removal of Benny Hill Statute claiming he is racist sexual harassment….
1…Mr Benny Hill paid 3 times more to his employees when working with him on his shows which was not heard off
2…Mr Benny Hill took on anyone he did not care what race you were.
3…Mr Hill always ask the team (employees) what do they think about the sketch before filming he did not want to embarrass anyone
4…Mr Hill gave to charities MILLIONS
5…Mr Hill NEVER sexual harassed women apparently he was a shy Homosexual …not proven
6…Mr Hill best friend was a female bound to a wheelchair
7…Mr Hill was Godfather 8 times
8…Mr Hill died alone in his apartment
9…Mr Hill left his fortune to his nieces and nephews
10…Mr Hill was NEVER EVER accused and taken to court for any mistreatment on set off set with his staff or fans
NOTE ….Mr HILL was a SOLDIER and SERVED his country in a time of war.
Benny Hill has made hundreds of millions of people laugh with his cheeky, saucy, slapstick humour and will forever have a net better impact than some angry sour bitter twisted soul who wants to destroy his statue.
Above all Benny Hill sought to make people laugh and in doing so make their day a bit brighter.
This direction was realised when serving in the Army in Normandy where he transfered to the Combined Services Entertainment Division.
Stupid people are normally angry politically correct moralists who act from anger without understanding the full story.
