I found it insulting to the nationalities involved and a definite zero on content of humour. Still, I'm not surprised that a contingent of UK citizens find humour in insulting others as it's a sign of an inferiority complex and feeling threatened by those who they think will come and take away what they have.

Because it's literally being made because she's a muslim and belittling what she's choosing to wear. It's really not that difficult is it?

Having lived in several European countries for extended periods, I've never come across anyone who makes fun of someone else's language. I've only had this experience when I lived in the UK and when I make occassional visits. It's pre-teen level humour in the UK that's spread to adults, very weird indeed. If you find that funny then you need to travel the world a little more.

I find people tend to like jokes of any sort - unless its about them.

Is there a line that cannot be crossed - like poking fun at disability for example?

Boris was probably being Boris - saying what many might well think.

Worse has been said to them I am sure!

That's just a simplistic summary of the situation.

Lots of comedy involves being critical and seeing things through a new lens. It's not about conserving a view or upholding tradition.

Hence right wing people aren't typically attracted to comedy in the same numbers....but they are there.

Also you have the obvious bias and career blocks against right wing people within the industry because....you know....it turns out that in many respects the left are exactly the same as what they used to complain about.....tribalism always wins.

There are right wing comedians....it's just that they keep their head down....because that's the society the outrage mobs on the left have created.
