Yea a lot of bad comedians use crudity as and excuse for comedy, they might get some embarrassed laughs I guess. Peter Kay? I am not so keen on him myself actually, he is OK but I would not go out of my way to see him. I don't really watch any comedy these days, I used to love it when I was younger but the quality seems to have gone downnhill. I say this recently as he was in the news, he is really funny and has great comic timing! He also offers some insights into the race thing is a funny way.

TV channels are busy pulling anything that could be construed as offensive... Programmes like Little Britain, The Mighty Boosh, The League of Gentlemen, Bo Selecta, Fawlty Towers ad nauseam. Churchill has gone from greatest Briton to most racist vile and evil fascist and now..... David Attenborough WWF charity video is deleted over racism fears
The World Wildlife Fund UK shared the footage of people bathing in a river as Sir David, 94, urges listeners to 'stabilise the human population.'
Viewers were quick to slam the footage as racist, claiming it unfairly 'blames people of colour for a growing global population'.
The WWF deleted the video hours after sharing it and issued an apology on Twitter.www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8412895/David-Attenborough-WWF-charity-video-deleted-racism-fears.htmlIt is a fact that Africa and Asia have booming populations whilst the birth rates in the west are negative and 'require immigration'. Truth is racist, but then it always will be. Plenty of white god botherers following the "go forth and multiply" god line to ridiculousness. Humans in general are overpopulated, regardless of race. And yes the UK is overpopulated, partly due to immigration and partly due to unchecked breeding.

And yes the UK is overpopulated, partly due to immigration and partly due to unchecked breeding. Humans in general are overpopulated, regardless of race. I would be most interested to learn how you came to "know" this. In reality, the global human population is not increasing exponentially, but is in fact slowing and predicted to stabilise at around 11 billion by 2100. And that figure is by no means overpopulation. We've heard this too many people thing so many times. Take the prognostications of the grandfather of the post-modern Malthusians; Dr Paul Ehrlich: The Population Bomb, 1968“A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people.” “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s the world will undergo famines—hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment, 1970 - Dr. Paul Ehrlich, Anne Ehrlich, and Dr. John Holdren (chief advisor to the Obama regime)“Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.” — Dr. Paul Ehrlich, Anne Ehrlich, and Dr. John Holdren (chief advisor to the Obama regime). “A massive campaign must be launched to de-develop the United States. De-development means bringing our economic system into line with the realities of ecology and the world resource situation.” De-development - that's the Green New Deal, by the way. Read it then choose between laughing or crying: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5729035/Green-New-Deal-FAQ.pdfThe Machinery of Nature: The Living World Around Us—And How It Works, 1986“As University of California physicist John Holdren has said, it is possible that carbon-dioxide climate-induced famines could kill as many as a billion people before the year 2020.” — Dr. Paul Ehrlich about Dr. John Holdren (chief advisor to the Obama regime). And my favourite... “By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people…If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.” — Dr. Paul Ehrlich, speech at the British Institute for Biology, Sep. 1971 I wasn't aware there is an immigration policy, there's plenty of talk about one, however. partly due to unchecked breeding.That is undeniably occurring in the mainly islamic immigrant population. European birth rates including the UK are in decline. Did that prompt your choice of words?

I know this because I can see it all around me in the constant expansion of towns, increase in class sizes in schools, strain on local services etc. That's entirely an immigration issue, as I've already pointed out. Since 1947, the rate has dropped by 45.9%, when the number of babies being born was at its ultimate peak.www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/aug/01/birth-rate-in-england-and-wales-at-all-time-lowHence the term 'boomer'. We Just Used Up All of Earth's Resources For The Year, And It's Only JulyEvery now and then the cry goes up; peak oil, peak this and peak that. And it's always wrong. The only real resource problems are connected to the electric push - cars etc etc etc - and that involves Cobalt and Lithium. Aside from the fact that most of the Cobalt comes from child slave labour in the Democratic Republic of Congo, there simply isn't enough of those elements to make the world run on renewables. So who will have electricity and who will not and how would you propose to choose? But what gives that article away as utter nonsense are statements of fact like this: the UK recently managing 6 days without burning CO2Even a spotty school kid knows that carbon dioxide is a product of combustion, not a precursor for it. The Guardian is famous for it's alarmist - it's always worse than we thought - activist zeal. We Believewww.theguardian.com/environment/ng-interactive/2019/oct/16/the-guardians-climate-pledge-2019Because it's a religion to them now. They are quick to publish papers that have yet to be peer-reviewed and when they are corrected or retracted, as many of them are, the Guardian does not publish any corrections. The job of the Guardian, like the BBC, is to push a narrative of crisis and catastrophe. And don't they do it well. Worldometers... We already know any population growth is through immigration and higher birth rates in the immigrant population. You still haven't shown anything scientific to back your claim that the planet is over populated by humans. Because you can't. You can take a wild guess at the carrying capacity as you already have and it's hopelessly wrong. And finally, in the wake of Michael Moore/Jeff Gibbs' film Planet of the Humans and the recent defection of Bjørn Lomborg we have another alarmist who has decided to go with the factual rather than the nightmarish fanciful. Michael Shellenberger: “On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare”
Forbes has published an apology by high profile environmental activist Michael Shellenberger for his role in helping to create the climate scare, and his explanation for why he chose to speak out now.wattsupwiththat.com/2020/06/29/schellenberger-on-behalf-of-environmentalists-i-apologize-for-the-climate-scare/I feel kind of sorry for Greta; a 'used and abused' child star who went from global fame to total obscurity in a matter of weeks. I don't feel sorry for Attenborough, however, he lied his head off: BBC’s One Planet falsely claims that polar bears hunting whales from shore is an unprecedented effect of climate changewattsupwiththat.com/2019/12/01/bbcs-one-planet-falsely-claims-that-polar-bears-hunting-whales-from-shore-is-an-unprecedented-effect-of-climate-change/I have a feeling that you might have believed him, but I bet you can't show a correction in the Guardian - or the BBC

English humour is something you either like or dislike but some folk just do not understand English humour. In the 70's I was living in Kyoto and one night they were showing Monty Python on a TV in a Bar, all the Japanese just looked blank, they had no understanding of what it was all about. The TV Company showed a few more episodes then stopped showing any more because of abysmal ratings.

Much of the humour is derived from class differences.
