There have been plenty of unfunny comedians over the years and they don't get food thrown at them for it.

And controversially I can understand people being more angry and frustrated at a Politician who can have a negative impact on your life over a Comedian who told a set of jokes I didn't like.

Preferably neither scenario happens, but to me they're not comparable.

You have never heard of a comedian being heckled on stage? where have you been Mock

lets keep this in context, it was ONE breadroll, and it missed.... having liquid thrown over you in the street when it come contain anything is scary stuff

I honestly don't know what you are going on about in this post at all but you attempting to move the goalposts by seemingly making out that I'm going after disabled people by saying that it's common sense to think that brexiters don't like anti-brexit materials. You're connecting all these imaginary dots and you are pretending to care about the disability highlighted at this charity but your intent is transparent, you are using disibility as a weapon, you are virtue signalling hard as a way to make me look bad by trying to frame this as me painting disabled people as racists and it's honestly gross, a very low and undignified move.

Do not use other people's disabilities as a tool to push your own political agenda.

Trying to paint this situation as anything other than the most obvious answer requires nothing short of world class logic gymnastics. An anti-brexit set didn't go down well with a pro-brexit crowd. All this other spiel you've come out with about Nick Griffin sheds more light on your own motives more than anything, you're being defensive and jumping to conclusions that don't make sense.

On an afternoon that was supposed to be about kindness, there was a distinct lack of it in the room.'...

You will claim your view is the common sense view, when I am saying disability doesn't pick sides, so if course there will be a mixed crowd and not the one you are trying to portrait imo. ..people are correct for saying the crowd may just be fed up with brexit and don't want to hear about it on a night out. .


But you will still push your agenda of pale stale male brexiters being unable to take criticism...yawn.

And for someone who claimed not to understand what I was saying in the post you quoted you put a lot of effort into running it down when you didn't understand what I was going on about. ...a normal response would be to ask the poster what they meant...but no....not you..!!

we have to lay the blame squarely on Nish who thought it appropriate to drone on about Brexit? it's not exactly a funny topic is it!

There’s also a touch of*hypocrisy here. The sort of well-heeled, predominantly white, middle-aged crowd who attend such charity cricket lunches are often the first to call other people “snowflakes”, complain about “woke” culture or protest that “you’re not allowed to say anything nowadays”. Yet crack a couple of Brexit jibes and they go swivel-eyed with indignation and start reaching for the bread rolls.

Saying the mash report is balanced because of one token Tory is about the same as saying the Beeb political output is unbiased because they employ Andrew Neil.

He got what he deserved, to insult people and link them to the extreme right was stupid . They’d all had a few shandies and were a bit rowdy so what did he expect."

Not sure what that has to do with a comedian's right to joke about it?

I'm bored sh*tless of Trump but nevertheless he's still in the White House and turn on any channel on the TV and there's someone (comedian or not) ripping the piss out of him. That's what happens all the time.

As said Nish does satire.. political satire, how can you do that in the UK atm without mentioning brexit? It's the steaming pile of elephant dung in every room! :/

It was, as is the case countrywide of the few spoiling things for the many.
