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.
