Right wing comedy anyone?

It's just ridiculous - comedy is always aimed at those in power, fuck knows how they would have coped with Spitting Image at its peak. If they don't like having the piss taken out of them so much, don't be such a joke.

Blimey, Jim Davidson could soon be back in the mainstream.

If he was funny.

Remind me, who are the sensitive snowflakes?

It’s taken me ages but the best right wing joke I could find was this...

They'll be digging Bernard Manning up. 

Right wing comedy? An oxymoron, Shirley?

not sure that article printed is advocating that we return to early 70s comedians is it?

dont understand what the issue is though. tories are in power so are going to be the butt of most jokes id have thought.

has anyone actually complained?

I'm hard pressed to think of any right wing comedians who aren't dodgy - Geoff Norcott is the only one I can think of.

It would be a start if the BBC broadcast comedy which was actually funny - particularly on Radio 4. People like Marcus Brigstocke and Steve Delaney have been stealing a living for years. I have no problem with satire that is biting and funny from whichever part of the political spectrum. Unfortunately the BBC doesn't do that either.

[Derek Hardballs]

Satire should always punch up not down otherwise it just looks like bullying. Can’t wait for jokes mocking the weak and marginalised in the name of balance.

You seem inadvertently to have campaigned on behalf of a authoritarian political party Proth.
