That's why I gave up listening to Radio 4s News Quiz.

It's like a party political broadcast for the Remainer Party.

When you have a right wing government you get comedians with a left wing agenda. Conversely, with a left wing government, the comedians tend to display right wing views.
It's always been like this. The government of the day will unfailingly attract comedians with opposition views.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't remember many that were not left wing under any government, Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson and that's about it.

[Tilly2]

Comedians will always deride the establishment. That's where the comedy comes in.

[wiltsman]

Quite right Tilly

[ToraToraTora]

but on MTW they are not deriding the establishment they are deriding the majority of the public, those that voted brexit.

[Tilly2]

Oh, ok.

[wiltsman]

TTT - I thought they were deriding a government making a pigs ear of Brexit negotiations.

[gulliver1]

Obsessed! Go and see a doctor , you can get medication for your problem.

[Tilly2]

I have to confess that I don't watch MTW, so I don't know who's deriding who.
