Then we will see them banning Bugs Bunny and Batman and what about Robin Hood films. War films and Westerns will be next.They all feature violence
The PC brigade need to take a reality check.

...Again it is necessary to put this into context as mentioned by Cornerstone above. If you look at the history of P&J you will see that In 1947, the Middlesex County Council in England banned Punch and Judy from schools, prompting wide outcry from Punch fans and his eventual reinstatement. The political correctness Kennine blames for this ban in Barry was hardly an issue in 1947.... More than 50 years later, in 1999 and 2000, other councils in Britain considered banning Punch and Judy shows on the claim that they were too violent for children; they didn’t, but it was close.
