	Bernard Manning - Obituaries, News - The Independent
		Always sharp-witted, Manning was the master of insult and invective, whether directed at the royal family, at fellow comedians, whom he mostly loathed - or at hapless members of his audience unwise enough to go to the lavatory during his act.
		Bernard - ever fond of racial stereotype - believed this Midas touch (along with his own talent as a comedian) was partly to do with he and his siblings being partly Jewish, despite their having been brought up as strict Catholics.
		Bernard was railing about how other comedians who had done disgraceful things - from dodging their income tax to committing adultery - were honoured with medals and knighthoods.

	Guardian \| Bernard Manning
		Those who suggest a growing Manning rehabilitation could argue that nothing in his act is quite as distasteful as the weekly sight of Bernard in his Y-fronts.
		Manning has been telling racist jokes all his career and simply cannot understand why, as a Jewish comic who tells vicious, vile jokes about Jews, he can't tell them about the Chinese or gays as well as the French, dogs or bishops.
		(Manning is diabetic, has angina and, after a stroke, is deaf in one ear.) He is educative on 1930s poverty, moral on sex and drugs, and moving on the subject of bereavement, which makes the old racist "gags" seem even more aged.

		Manning's many critics tended to see him as a contemptible moral coward who played to the prejudices of his predominantly white male audiences in venues where the underdog had no chance to respond.
		Although Manning protested that the target of his abuse was not upset ("Bernard, you're brilliant," the fl officer is said to have told him), he started losing bookings from groups worried about their public image.

		Manning accused his critics of failing to recognise that ethnic and religious bias is part of the natural order of things.
