haven't watched HIGNFY for years but the worst take in the world - and let's face, there's some competition - is that the programme was in some way responsible for BJ's ascent to power. they - Hislop part. - ripped into him and treated him with barely-disguised contempt

it's hardly Farage on Question Time, which is a different thing all tofuckinggether.

it's such a painful fucking reach. just say 'I don't think it's funny'. that's fine - I mostly agree. but the idea that people are voting for a politician based on what, five appearances (the last time 14 years ago) is fucking crackers

don't feature anyone on any light entertainment programme then, just in case, and especially don't make them look like a criminal fool, because then they will inevitably become PM (based on this sample size of one)

although I will admit he is considerably funnier than those other - actual - right wing comics like Lee Hurst and Andrew Lawrence. Check out the latter's Joe Biden impression (available on this hell-site) if you want to discover a new low for all comedy.

I remember them ripping Johnson for the Darius Guppy thing - when he conspired to have a journalist beaten up. Hardly makes them his fucking campaign team, does it?

tell you what, let's blame the whole of (predominantly left-wing) London for Johnson, yeah? Everyone there. They voted him in as mayor, right, and in an explicitly political sense? Boo. Boo for London.

remember to blame EVERYONE though. even yourself, if you live there. there WILL be blame! (lesser known sequel to the Daniel Day-Lewis 'classic')

although my understanding is that something actually happens in 'there will be blame'

here is Andrew Lawrence 'doing' Joe Biden in the same way that an elk may attempt an impression of a dolphin by simply drowning https://twitter.com/andrewlawrence/status/1311256318225846278

that bit is so bad it invents new levels not to work on

I assume people pay for his patreon in much the same way as they would to be beaten by someone dressed as a cow's worst nightmare

saw Andrew Lawrence do 15 minutes at Komedia Brighton (Julia used to book there) about ten years ago, back when his shtick was just that he had a squeaky voice. Oh, such innocent days. And boy, WAS THAT VOICE SQUEAKY!!!
