Has comedy become too political? Page 3

I mean there's nothing wrong with Dianne Abbot but really, I don't think it's too political now at all. There's much more variety in the types of comedy. It was political when that shouty man Mark Thomas was everywhere. It was hard to escape from.

This site has definitely become too political. There must be other things to comment on.

It will probably become less political once the election is over.
It's not been a fun time for many people on the Right. A lot of people on here seem to be middle-aged or older men with conservative views. Some of them thus tend to get a bit grumpy whenever the election is brought up (not necessarily including Chappers in this).

At least you said 'on the right'
It is usually and casually termed 'far right for anyone right of center.
And lately, the extreme right is becoming common. They might run out of adjectives for the word 'very soon

I've been called many things in my life but never "grumpy".

It cuts both ways, with anybody not right wing termed hard left, radical left or extremists.

I wouldn't describe anyone on here as being on the Far Right.

About to say the same thing.
Or Far-Left for that matter.

You sure about that?
There isn't anyone who posts at least bi-daily?

Thinking the Tories are awful isn't Far-Left.

Thinking the Tories are awful isn't Far-Left.

If it was Nigel Farage and his merry band of Hitler obsessed Putin apologists would be considered Far Left.
