BBC Director - "To Axe Left Wing Comedy"

[mat]

Is that actually right v left thing or just a debate about political correctness? Ricky Gervais is another one who's difficult to pigeon hole. I don't see him as particularly right wing, but he does like to take the piss out of the outraged 'left'.

I think Gervais is a humanist and anyone who's offended about anything whichever political leanings they are he'll go for them.

You're right Bob, I do but I also manage to post on our other forums.

Same can't be said of others now can it?

I‘m always right. It is both a blessing and a curse.

As to others I have no idea, I have zero interest in the posting habits of others.

Unfairly biased against the Tories, Brexit and Trump? Imagine that. Comedians taking the piss out of the government of the day more than the opposition. And of course we certainly didn't have any piss taking of Corbyn. And Tony Blair went through his entire three terms without any piss taking.

As for Trump, why is it even relevant that a BBC comedian isn't impartial about an American president? Has anyone complained that comedy shows cover the actions of the Chinese government, they don't have a pro-CCP comedian on to give a 'balanced view' of the issues?

Clearly you do or you wouldn't have commented on my post.

Go on, treat yourself, go spend some time on our football forums.

I think the problem is bob that you are not aware that you are a bit of a **** tbh. I'm not having a go at cunts btw - far from it, as I have been one most of my life. Being a **** is a bit like having an allergy or bad eyesight - not the end of the world, but you have to adapt accordingly. If you don't even realise you are a **** it places you at a disadvantage in this respect.

Can't remember with the BBC at the time. I do however remember 2DTV taking the piss out of him on a weekly basis about his fawning of the US and George W.

I think Jim Jeffries nailed it in one one of his stand up shows. He said something about he sees comics he doesn't like politically but they make him laugh. There's some jokes he doesn't find funny but he'll piss himself laughing at the ones he does and remembers them rather than getting offended at the shit jokes.
