Report: Only Four of 364 BBC ‘Comedy’ Slots Given to Conservative or Pro-Brexit Comics.
An audit of the BBC’s “comedy” output found that only four out of 364 slots went to comics who openly supported Brexit or the Conservative Party, while 268 went to “brazenly left-wing comedians”.
Fully 74 per cent of the comedians elevated by the public broadcaster, funded by a licence fee which everyone who watches live television must pay or else face fines backed by the threat of imprisonment, went to “woke” comics such as Nish Kumar, according to an audit by the Campaign for Common Sense (CCS) reported by the Mail on Sunday.
Kumar, best known for his work on The Mash Report programme, has used the platform granted to him by the BBC to grace the public with such “comedy” routines as quoting from a report by the Centre for Economic Performance in order to claim that uncontrolled immigration from the European Union under its Free Movement regime is good for the economy.
Another BBC favourite was veteran feminist Jo Brand, who has previously “joked” that left-wing activists should consider throwing battery acid at right-wing figures rather than milkshakes. Breitbart.
