    Edit: Didn’t know about his other views. I no longer consider his views forgivable.

    He is remarkably progressive and lucid for his age, so I’m inclined to cut him some slack for the topics I wholeheartedly disagree about with him.

    For example, his support for Brexit I find hard to forgive… but unlike most of the ghouls that supported it, he seems genuine in his opinions and remains at odds and vocally against the Global Far Right.

      You kidding? He’s been railing against woke etc. He’s on the right of UK politics. Would probably be further if it was acceptable.

      A very funny and clever man during his youth. That guy is gone.

      What??

      The guys is openly transphobic, is part of the whole “comedy is ruined because if woke” crowd, is anti immigrant and anti-muslim and like you said, is pro brexit, but you want to cut him some slack because he’s “genuine” in his transphobia and xenophobia???

        Shit, first time I read the bit about transphobia. That is awful. Apologies, I don’t follow this crap close enough, consider my previous comment about cutting him some slack retracted, fuck this guy.

        Well that sucks. I don’t really follow the stars or British politics, so I missed that. Disappointing.

        If Terry Gilliam is an asshole I dont want to know about it.
