Very dark part of me suspects that stories like this aren't so much ignored, it's just that they make Johnson and No Deal slightly more popular among the plain people of england

I believe several studies have shown that totally random investment choices/choices made by monkeys pointing at the financial pages make more money than investment choices by fund managers.

If we’re talking communist bikes, how about the time the Telegraph paid someone to dissect an image of Corbyn getting on his (communist) bike?https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/what-we-can-learn-about-jeremy-corbyn-from-his-trusty-red-bicycl/

I’m not going to cast aspersions on the person who commissioned that article, but I think it’s fairly obvious they had a weird kink for that image, going by the number of times it appears in the piece.

i can only say that by some small degree the 80s SWP stand-up crew are at least morally preferable to today's angling-for-my-own-panel-show-about-centrist-biscuits-on-Dave stand-up crew
mark will be along shortly to correct me as to the precisely delineated ideological alignment of 80s stand-ups

a friend of mine is mates with a comedy writer who once got hired to write some material for Gryf Rhys Jones who apparently said he didn't want anything less than "rambunctiously hilarious" so they do have industry standards!

I'd say if a comedian was complete tory I wouldn't care if they were funny, but the most "out" tory comedian right now seems to be Geoff Norcott who makes that shtick his entire act and he's a poisonous alt-right pimple alright.
