Village pub embroiled in race row over sign showing black boy being scrubbed in bath by white couple

 The offensive sign at The Labour in Vain in Yarnfield

A village pub might have to change its name after becoming embroiled in a race row over their sign that shows a black boy being scrubbed in the bath - by a white couple.

The Labour in Vain, in Yarnfield, Staffordshire, was considered not to be racist by council equality chiefs who previously asked the traditional pub to take their sign down.

However, a brewery that has taken over the 166-year-old pub is now considering changing the name - over fears that could be considered racist too.

A row has since broken out with residents who believe the historic country pub should keep the title it was first given in the mid-19th century.

Pub regular Jimmy Cawdell, 56, said: "If it goes ahead, which we're sure it will, it will be political correctness gone mad.

  2. The audio on this video seems to have been intentionally manipulated but this
    assault on a white teacher happened at a Military School. Sumptons wrong here.

    1. 0 white students and looks like the teacher was white. It is a "charter" military school which means zilch. If this had happened in a true military school like the one I attended, the culprit would have been attacked in an instance , corralled, kicked out of school immediately with all lost of funds and taken into custody by the local police on charges.
