It's so obvious the right wing press is using cancel culture to wind up middle aged men and make it seem like a huge thing.

Re: Cancel culture

odd video, I don't think cleese came across particularly well there, he certainly didn't "destroy" the interviewer. it was all a bit garbled.

you often hear these older comedians lamenting about cancel this and woke that, while the younger generation of comedians just laugh at them and get on with it.
it happens to the best of us, but these older comedians are just out of touch.

Isn't the right-wing press largely associated with middle-aged men?

He wanted to plug his own material and she was looking for something current to report on. Different agendas and he wasn't astute enough to manipulate the situation to his own advantage.

Very funny man is his day but he's done now

Is it just me or is he a bit of a brexit boy ?

I remember him destroying a load of Christians when life of Brian came out

He didn't literally kill them or anything

Who has really even been cancelled over a joke?

It’s like political correctness all over again, we keep hearing how prevalent it is but outside of a few genuine nutters getting shit canned or the odd mistake being blown out of proportion how much cancelling has actually happened?

Why do people always get drawn in so much with it? I remember in the 90s hearing we couldn’t call a black board a black board anymore ffs and that wasn’t true was it? I hope I don’t turn into a dope believing this shite when I get older.

I went to see a Frankie Boyle work in progress recently and he made a joke about Richard Branson going to space (the only way anyone wants that **** to achieve weightlessness is from a thoroughly agressive form of cancer) if he’s not being cancelled who is.

I see a lot of stand ups and almost all of them have loads of non politically correct jokes but no one is getting cancelled.

Re: Cancel culture

I think it has a lot to do with whether you are punching up or punching down.

Too bloody right - the grammar police should throw away the key aswell for such serious offences.

Punching up or down suggests that there is already a preconceived right or wrong
