The hysteria about ‘right-wing comedy’

The comedy world is apparently terrified by a little diversity of opinion.

As a regular contributor to spiked, and a comedian often regarded, darkly, as ‘right-wing’, I long ago learned to adopt the creed of Millwall Football Club – ‘No one likes us, we don’t care’.

Still, I must admit that events of last week, concerning my association not with this august organ, but with those relative newcomers to national opprobrium and pariah status among the bien pensant, GB News, left me a little rattled.
