The voice of reason
|
BBC comedian Nish Kumar was met with boos and bread rolls after
making Brexit jokes at a charity cricket lunch. The presenter of little watched late night programme The Mash Report claimed that his angered audience needed “far-right” comedians instead of him at the fundraiser for disability sports. According to an eyewitness at the Lord’s Taverners Christmas lunch, which raises money for cricketing charities, Kumar was drowned out by booing and had food hurled at him after he was very unfunny and made political jokes that were not funny and unwelcome. In the end he was ushered off so they could do a raffle ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mike Fitchett, a 68-year-old Taverners member from Oxfordshire, was in the audience. 'Harry Redknapp was tremendous and we were having a really good day, as we always do,' he said. 'Then this man, who is supposed to be a comedian, gets up and delivers what could only be described as a political speech.' Mr Fitchett added that things quickly turned sour. 'He should have just left the stage but he refused to do so,' he said. 'This was not at all what our organisation is about. These were extreme, far-left political views and we are a charity. It was all very offensive and I shall be writing to our chief executive to make my feelings clear.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sp...booed-off.html |

Not really appropriate to start throwing things at him though just because they didn't find him funny

That would be considered assault against a right wing person, can’t wait to hear the condemnation from Farage and the like

There was funnily enough, mass faux tears about something that doesn’t hurt, there can only be outrage about a comedian being ‘pelted’ with solid items I’m sure?

It's okay to abuse people who don't like Brexit, just make sure you don't do it to a white person- I mean, a brexiter. |

Imagine booking a well known, left leaning, political comedian and then being so upset that said well known, left leaning, political comedian tells some left leaning, political jokes, that you have to throw carbs at him, imagine that for a second.

I think it shows the arrogance of the far left "comedian"h that anyone would laugh . his late night small audience show will get laughs from drunk young students but not adult cricket fans hell bent on helping a charity? |
