The BBC admit here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34014449 that Jeremy Hardy is left wing.
'A left-wing comedian has said he was told by the Labour party that he could not vote in its leadership election.Jeremy Hardy said he paid £3 to become a Labour member in order to become eligible to vote, but that he has supported other parties in the past.'
Will they admit the same is true of Mark Steel? And which comedians they use on panel are also left wing, and which are right wing?
I can't really think of any truly right wing comedians who have been allowed on BBC in the last decade or so. Even Jerry Sadowitz* got kicked off BBC nearly 20 years ago (you forget how long the PC freeze has been operating at the BBC - we are talking decades now).
ReplyDelete* He wasn't really right wing but was prepared to address contemporary issues in an un-PC way.
