That's just silly, would they want every mention of the man's name blacked out wherever it may appear?

There was a pub years ago where the sign showed a nurse scrubbing a black kid in a wash tub, the pub's name was 'The Labour in Vain'.

A local pub called 'The Railway' was shut and the person who later reopened it called it 'Lord Beechings', the family threatened to sue but the name remained.
