Then you move to the trans community attacking a trans person causing them to commit suicide? I'm not sure there is a lot of sense in that statement. Not saying you're wrong, but I'd need to see the full facts, not the anti-trans slant.

So Frankie Boyle - the pretend leftist. Always around when there is a cause to promote but never an ally when a true leftist had the opportunity to be elected. Did you want him to face repercussions or not, because that kind of thing would make me think that the top tax rate for the top 1% should be lowered to allow their wealth to trickle down. Is that how it works again, I'm not sure?

Once again, goldheart, you are conflating things you don't like - trans people/anyone who shows them support, with the left. It's weird, wrong, but on brand for this crazy forum.

I liked Ricky Gervais' earlier work. The office is the greatest sitcom of all time in my view, but if you think standing on a stage going "woman, penis, woman, penis, woman, penis", is in anyway speaking truth to power (go and watch Carlin and Hicks then come back to me), or challenging, then you're simply wrong. I'm guessing it's more of a mumsnet routine than a work by perhaps the most influential comedian of his generation. James Acaster summed the new Gervais style of commentary up perfectly (and I'm no fan of his, either)

You seriously think that it's brave to come out and mock the trans community, and that no one has the guts to do it? Mental.
.

He used to understand the differences between punching up or down, even when Brent used to stray into bigotry, he always made himself the butt of the joke, now he's fully invested in punching down. Good for him, he can make his money whichever way he chooses and absolutely none of my business. I just don't understand how some of the wealthiest and consistently performing artis in the last 20 years are being cancelled as they count another £50 million into their bank accounts

Acaster literally shouted the same line over & over again to mock Gervais but wasn't actually funny himself . I'll never understand why Acaster is a comedian, he just comes across obnoxious and loud .

You can twist what I say all you like Slim . And as I said if you don't believe me about Chapelle's trans friend then do the research. She defended Chapelle and she got massive hate for it ,which led to her suicide.

The fact that we live in a world now where people like JK Rowling can't describe what a woman is without recieving abuse & hate , should be enough to tell you how crazy things have got with the
far left wing.

You talk about how wrong it is to belittle and pick on a certain community,but Boyle literally made a tasteless joke about Harvey Price ....a disabled child at the time ,so I don't see how anyone can stoop any lower than that . I know it wasn't recent but it still happened.
