O/T Clarkson.

It’s a parody of an iconic scene from Game of Thrones

Where the evil woman eventually gets her comeuppance

Not real life

Not the point Grist. It's a grim fantasy of Clerkson, about a woman he hates 'on a cellular level' and to whom he wishes extreme fantasy harm.

My point is that Brand's fantasy was equally detatched from reality, but somehow considered offensive, where the same group of elderly blokes find this extremity, also not real life, funny.

As I said, if Steve Coogan or Russell Brand wrote exactly the same words as Clarkson, but aimed them at Patel or Bravaman, you same blokes would be howling with outrage. Hypocrisy. That's my point.

Patel or Braverman?

They are targets for Have I Got News For You and The Graham Norton Show every week. It used to be Boris J and before that Trump. Continuous nasty unfunny attempts not a one off parody.

Can you not tell the difference between political satire and humour based on a fantasy of physical and ***ual harm? Are they really the same thing to you?

Politicians, and Harry and Megan put themselves out there and they/we can all live with all kinds of p1ss taking at their expense. For them it should/does come with the job. But I'm interested in why the same people who found Brand's comment offensive find one about extreme ***ual harm funny. Both comic fantasy (no one is pretending that the comedian behind either remarks really means it, although Clarkson comes worryingly close!) but one some can't tolerate, the other the same people find amusing. Seems weird.
