Dambusters Dog Nigger Renamed Digger: Stephen Fry Casts ‘Paki’ The Terrier In Lead Role
NIGGER, Guy Gibson’s black Labrador, has been renamed Digger for the new film version of the DamBusters raid of WW2.
Digger is, of course, a derogatory name for Australians who pick their noses and bums.
There has been much uproar, not helped by the intolerant Twitter King Stephen Fry saying there is “no question in America that you could ever have a dog called the N-word“.
Last time we looked the Dambusters was set in England and over bits of Holland and Germany.
Also changed are the Germans, who are known as Sprouts. The Sprouts refer to Jews as “Finchley Road Entrepreneurs”, gypsies as “travellers” and anyone else they systematically slaughter as “collateral damage”.
Note: Nigger the dog was killed in a car accident on the morning of the Dambusters raid on 16 May 1943. He is buried at RAF Scampton, Lincs. In keeping with the current climate, we urge any right-thinking man or woman to change the headstone with a large felt tip. Nigger was a good dog, and it’s what he would have wanted…
Note 2: Nigger will be played by Yorkshire Terrier called “Paki“.
