Why should ridding the BBC of bias on comedy be a grim sign - unless you're favour of bias? In the wrong hands, comedy is an excellent vehicle for insidious propaganda. So the BBC DG should ensure it's balanced

Because this isn’t really about bias at all. It’s about a government with absolute power to do what it wants and its support being too thin-skinned to accept any mocking of their tenure. If right wing comedians weren’t so **** they’d get plenty of air time.
 
You guys presumably have seen and heard from the Tory candidate. They don’t have any intention of winning.
I don't care if it's a Tory, Limp, Green, anyone has to be better than the muppet they have now. Failure after failure. London has definitely changed under his mayorship... Sadly for the worse. Even 'Red Ken' was better than him and he was a complete 2222.

How much of that is down to him?

Can he take any credit for any of the FAB city news you post?

He’s mainly unpopular with old blokes who don’t live in London for some reason.

The BBC of the past would never give a right wing comedian air time unless it was token to ward off criticism.

And gets support from 30 something idiots who also don't live in London... Thing you forget Ruth is that I work there and was born and bred in the City.

Well done for not answering the questions at all.

I also work there and have lived there, which as with you means absolutely **** all.

Maybe some but our business goes down to the companies. He was the idiot that wouldn't accept Brexit and even used a firework display to push his ridiculous views. I also remember that stupid blimp he supported while the President visited. (no matter what you think of him it was wrong). The bloke is a full time muppet who like most of modern Labour are clueless.
 
London is full of Labour voting immigrants now. So they go for Khan even though he is ineffectual

Something like 35% of Londoners weren’t born here. Presumably not all of them vote and not all of them vote Labour. Maybe he’s doing something that works for them that doesn’t benefit random old white blokes who are hugely pandered to in politics generally.

Sometimes it's difficult for Watford to understand. I blame Blair and all the crap they put into kids heads. His political views are all over the place. First he questions who would vote for the Limps then in the election he votes for them. He says he knows little about politics then he thinks he is Tony Benn. deluded.

It’s boring if you’re just going to make things up and go full Express.
