[Maureen Lipman has said comedy
is in danger of being "wiped out" due
to fears over being cancelled.
She told the BBC she believes comedians
are now so worried about offending,
"a revolution" is taking place.
"It's in the balance whether we will
ever be funny again," she said.
Her comments come as more than
half of Britons say they have stopped
themselves from expressing political
and social views for fear of being judged.
A YouGov poll seen exclusively by the
BBC found 57% of those asked said
they censor themselves on issues
including immigration and trans rights,
particularly if their views are deemed
at the less politically correct end of
the spectrum.
YouGov questioned 1,677 people
in mid November to find out their
views on what's become known
as "cancel culture".
It is a term, first used in the USA,
to describe attempts to block or
"cancel" people or groups with
certain viewpoints.]
