I'm sure the usual suspects will be furious about this! | |

Woke snowflakes and their cancel culture!! on 08:32 - Mar 12 with 2334 views | Herbivore | Yes, very much looking forward to the defenders of free speech expressing their outrage at this. I'm sure they'll be furious. For the Tories and their fan boys, it's not about free speech. It's about their 'side' being able to say and do what they want without consequences whilst keeping the other 'side' silent. The trick for them is continually convincing the public that they have to be on one side or the other. With a compliant press they seem to be making a decent fist of it. Probably time to start tooling up for the civil war. | |

For what it's worth I don't even find Kumar funny, but the hypocrisy is ridiculous. Laurence Fox is already on Twitter celebrating, but I'm sure he'll be back shouting about cancel culture and defunding the BBC soon enough. | |

Wait, champion of free speech Laurence Fox is happy about this being cancelled?! I for one am shocked! The thing is with utter tits like Laurence Fox, nobody is actually silencing them. He's very much got a voice, purely through white privilege in his particular case. What he wants isn't to say what he likes - he does that anyway - what he wants is for people not to be allowed to point out inaccuracies in what he's said, or that what he's said is offensive, or that he's just a massive bellend. What these free speech advocates actually want is to suppress criticism, which is the very opposite of free speech. | |

Mrs Brown's Boys is rubbish but that still gets an airing every Christmas. | |

Surely it won't be able to, given how those kind of voices aren't allowed in the UK? I'm so confused! | |

Woke snowflakes and their cancel culture!! on 09:06 - Mar 12 with 2126 views | Darth_Koont | As you say further down, I also don’t find Nish Kumar that funny (or particularly left-wing). So not sure that this is definitely an anti-left move per se. If this had been biting political comedy like Jeremy Hardy would have done then I’d have been bothered more. I think the BBC is certainly captive to the right/centre-right narrative in a wider sense and I find the political coverage pretty poor. But the question is more whether that’s really just the state of our media in the UK. As the recent Society of Editors’ statement on racism in the press proves, this isn’t really a media class that understands that their world (predominantly white, male, middle-aged and upper-middle class) isn’t the real world. | |

It’s to appeal to people who have very real concerns and can’t find their voice anywhere apart from The Sun, Sunday Sun, The Mail, The Mail on Sunday, The Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, The Spectator, The Express, The Sunday Express. | | | |

That's all very well and good being represented in the media, but it's this damn remainer Labour government that's been really holding back my freedoms for the last decade. Damn snowflakes. | |

Indeed. The sooner we can get out from under all these left-wingers who’ve been running our politics, media and our economy for the past 4 decades the better. Time to throw off the yoke of woke and Make England Great Again. | |

Circa when by BlueBadger 12 Mar 2021 9:36What is it about a community of (mostly)straight white men showing some basic decency towards people even if they're NOT white, straight or male that upsets you? | |

Woke snowflakes and their cancel culture!! on 11:57 - Mar 12 with 1775 views | BlueandTruesince82 | Instead of cancelling shows such as this what the BBC should be doing is finding a more diverse range of people, comedians, presenters etc so that a full range of views cab be discussed. That's sais the beeb can't do right for doing wrong with both the left and right claiming its bias against them. | |

Geoff Norcott is being pushed a lot. Technically, he’s a good enough comedian but you need to be coming at society and defending self-interest, small-mindedness and the status quo in that manner. Beyond him I don’t think there are many who deserve to be there, right? And of course there are a lot of weak centrist and left-wing comedians too. They just don’t combine it with as poor baseline opinions. | |

It was a bit too juvenile for me but that's why, when it was on, I would tend to watch something else. When you look at the types who criticised it, Neil, Fox etc, then you have to conclude the programme wasn't the problem here. Why on earth is the DG of the BBC looking to close down anything he considers to be 'left'? Should he be in that job if he's pushing a personal agenda? [Post edited 12 Mar 2021 13:46]
