Re: Joe Lycett

Indeed. Shameful, and a timely reminder why political bigotry is as intolerable as other types.

Tbf I could come to your house with a bodyguard and say 'its shameful that I need a bodyguard to go to James' house for Sunday dinner'. It doesn't actually mean I needed one.

Re: Joe Lycett

It is actually an interesting point. On Mark Thomas of course, he is not 'centr-left' or 'liberal-left' like many comedians or general media types, but solidly 'left-wing'. In that sense, he was way to the left of New Labour and like you said, would lay into them endlessly.

A lot of criticism aimed at the Tories is in fact just criticism aimed at the government. People may not like to admit it but the majority of decisions made will be very similar irrespective of government, and the problems dealt with will largely be the same.

How comedy reacts when the decision makers are 'centre-left' will be interesting to see. A lot of their material will cease to be, or they'll just lob it at whomever is in government.

Really like Joe Lycett btw - enjoy

Thanks

Re: Joe Lycett

Is that the Kunnesberg that had to have a bodyguard at the Tory Conference because of her alleged anti Tory bias? Of course the left wing Marr would be more suitable for some.

No, by the look of it.

Funny how you always promise to come for sunday dinner on a monday morning. Yet again, yesterday I dined alone with an empty space where you and Doucus should be.

Is he really a comedian though?

I thought they were supposed to be funny?

Comedy is subjective, just because you don’t find him funny doesn’t mean he’s not funny.

Lycett is just virtue signalling for likes on Twitter. He hasn't got a clue, the lightweight.

Re: Joe Lycett

No

If you are going to cut and paste from Wiki why not also include the claim by George Galloway that Marr was a student Trotskyist? That would be a first. I have never met anyone who managed to combine Maoism and ‘Trotskyism’ at the same time. Maybe all that is irrelevant to his views and leanings as an established broadcaster, author and journalist?

The New Statesman has a political love affair with Tony Blair and the Lib Dems. I never missed a NS political podcast for over 5 years until recently and they wound me up every time. They aren’t fans of Nazis though! Lol.

Blah blah blah jon, not from wiki. It's far too woke and shys away from uncomfortable truths. It's censored.
So when Marr himself described himself as a "raving leftist" he was misquoted? Lol

Hilts, just to clarify, the twats in this conversation are probably the people whom she needed protection from harm from.

Re: Joe Lycett

Don't think this has been mentioned on here, but did anyone else catch Joe Lycett on Laura Kunnesberg's new programme this morning?

LK interviewed Liz Truss then asked the panel about what our new PM said.

I doubt she'll have a comedian on her show ever again ��

I can't stand Laura Kunnesberg either, how did she get that job, I quite liked Sophie Raworth?

The only person not taking the situation seriously is Liz Truss. Joe Lycett treated her with the respect she deserves.
