BBC Director - "To Axe Left Wing Comedy"

I always crack up at "We will not see movement from the EU unless and until they are faced with the prospect of a viable walk-away option – and the political will to use it”

Good question but is that because there are none or because none of the broadcasters will platform any?

I think there'd be a candlelit vigil on Twitter if Diane Abbott or Jeremy Corbyn were laid into in the same way that Patel or Johnson are.

Likewise, if an upcoming comedian started criticising cancel culture or cultural appropriation or speech controls or any of the other bollocks advocated by people who claim to be left-wing then I think a lot of comedians would fall by the wayside than if the routine was the same old stuff we hear about Trump et al all the time.

The comedian who does the best job at criticising the victim culture of the so-called left is Ricky Gervais but I think he can get away with it because he's already established.

You've never watched Mock the Week then? Abbot and Corbyn were regular targets.

I thought they got pelters from all directions tbh. Some of it nothing to do with comedy, satire or even legit critisism. Maybe I'm just a raging leftie, but I find the idea that Corbyn or abbot got any protection or an easy ride laughable in itself.

I remember watching this on Sky One (not the BBC tbf) from Mock The Week's Russell Howard and I've not seen anything like that from a comedian before in defence of a potential Home Secretary so that's probably what's informed my opinion. If Abbott had been a Brexit voting Tory elected on a platform to control immigration like Priti Patel, I doubt she'd be having cosy chats with comedians imo. Maybe Howard and others are being responsible by not taking the piss out of her given the abuse she already gets but I think plenty of people would like to see it working both ways.

I don't find the guy funny, but I doubt that any comedian is going to do a segment on the abhorrent abuse female MPs get and then take the piss out of the person who gets it the worst. Even if it was Patel.
