What a strange comment. Almost all comedians are left wing and have been for years. There are few right wing ones and of those, most aren't very good.

I can only think of Geoff Norcott who has been on loads of panel shows etc as he's right wing - yet is pretty average.

The second paragraph has already been succinctly answered. That you don't recognise the personal and insulting nature of many of your comments ought, I believe, give you pause for some reflection.

Hopefully, if things progress as I would like, Trump won't stand in 2024 because he will be so discredited that the GOP won't risk him. I have to wonder though whether he would like to be indicted and jailed, as it plays into his narrative of being the victim of a "witch-hunt". He is a devious devil. As the alternatives all look, at the moment, to have to imitate Trump to stand a chance of nomination, it remains unknown which of them would prove a better choice. Right now, they all look unfit. Who the Dems pick matters as well. The US electorate appears to have even shorter memories than we do here, as well as apportioning blame on politicians for events beyond their control. It will certainly be interesting and very, very important. Whether I "rant" depends on many factors, mostly as yet unknown.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

It's another weird way of looking at the world.....it's like you think that all of a sudden people aren't right wing in large numbers when the Tories have an 80 seat majority mainly based on Brexit.....there were plenty of right wing comedians of the past but you appear to think now they just don't exist?

I think you'll find if you actually moved in conservative/dissident right circles that what's more the case is that 'right wing' comedians aren't platformed by liberal and left media....which is basically the vast majority of mainstream corporate media.

It's not that they aren't out there....some of the more tamer ones are now getting gigs on GB News, which is something.

Someone controversial like Ricky Gervais (who is a kind of an old fashioned left wing libertarian) would be unlikely to have broken through on the BBC today.....he's made the same observation that his show wouldn't have been commissioned..

You mention Geoff Norcott, but I view him as tokenism who is happy to tow their line.

Once a comedian becomes know as right wing the vast majority of comedy clubs won't book them. (back in more conservative times this wasn't done to leftist comedians)...only just recently a couple of right wing comedy clubs have opened up to solve this issue.

Examples of right wing/dissident right/centralist comedians....I'm sure I'm leaving plenty out here.

Andrew Lawrence (right wing)
Alistair Williams (right wing)
Leo Kearse (self described right wing though I'd call him a small c conservative)
Andrew Doyle (Centralist)
Konstantin Kisin (centralist small c conservative)
Jerry Sadowitz (difficult to place, probably lefty libertarian)

Most right wing comedians, like who use to be regulars on the comedy circuit are now funded by fans during steams/videos, Williams, Lawrence to name a couple.

That has to be a co-incidence. There is no logic to an idea that having a vaccine makes you more vulnerable.

I previously stated only a day or two ago on the Covid thread that 3 people known to me now have Covid for the 3rd time and they are fully vaxxed. Thankfully all over it now.

I wonder if their recovery would have been so swift if they had chosen to inject themselves with bleach.

I disengage, I turn the page.

Kills 99.9 percent of all Trump voters dead.

Not one of his better lines admittedly.
