Well you've answered the question. Members of a nationalist organisation would adopt such a view and not see the parody. Alf character was a parody. An east ender of Jewish heritage which he rejected, whilst defending individual freedom but denying it to others. The same as many sitcoms they did parody various races as characterised within it at the time. We recognize those characters and laugh accordingly not at the race but the characters failings. So the diversity within society will always exist but it's understanding will evolve.

What people of today do not realise is that this was produced at a time when British attitudes and prejudices toward race were being seriously challenged for the first time. The "older generation's" idea that white was supreme and black or other colour was inferior was being attacked by comedy writers and shows such as Till death do us part and Love thy neighbour did not support racism as it appears on first glance. Quite the opposite, I remember watching this sketch and it made me think how utterly vile, stupid and out of date racist attitudes were and how racist behaviours affected those to whom they were directed. Comedy played a big part in "education" in its broadest sense and showed people the absurdity and evil of racism.

True, I know pakistani's that would find this funny, but perhaps in a different way to brits. Unfortunately it takes intelligence to see that every race has its traits and we all laugh cynically at each other, it's the human condition its not hatred.

Spike was a true genius, naturally funny, wonderful, and could entertain children and adults alike.... his children's stories and poetry are magical and eternally enchanting, and his Pakistani and Indian characters were hilarious and inoffensive, because they were so obviously parodies without malicious intent. Warren Mitchell, on the other hand, whilst being a skilled enough actor, was far less endearing, and Alf Garnett was positively horrible! Spike is so missed....😢❤
