Punch show not PC

-

A PUNCH and Judy man has whacked political correctnes­s after a school cancelled a booking over fears that the show glorified domestic violence.

Brian Llewellyn, 64, said he refused the request from a Middlesbro­ugh school to make sure Punch did not hit Judy, and that his performanc­e should include police officers rather than a policeman.

Another school asked him to drop a minstrel character – which he insists was a black puppet, rather than a white one dressed as a black person.
