the conditions are ripe for a new generation of Joe Ortons and Mary Tofts to cause some necessary mischief. In an age of unreason, the hoaxer can thrive.

Let’s hope so.
More by Mr Doyle please.

Where is there a female* version of Chris Morris satirising the ridiculous contradictions inherent in trans activism and Stonewall policies to crush women’s rights?
(*And yes she would have to be female as men don’t have women’s ‘lived experience’ and so are not listened to and a trans person would be vilified as an Uncle Tom)

I particilarly enjoyed ‘soft-witted celebrities eager to endorse fashionable but illiberal notions they barely understand’

It is such a nuisance that now everything is behind a paywall, except Twitter, which is the one you never want to access (and that’s probably why it is free…)

To be a bit trivial for a moment, I have wondered whether “trolling” is derived from the fishing technique rather than “troll” (the Scandinavian goblin who lives under bridges), as seems to be generally assumed. This article seems to say that it is indeed the former rather than the latter.

Without having noticed who the author of the article is, I was automatically thinking of Titania McGrath.

Thanks Andrew for a lot of much needed laughs. I can’t think too much about the observation that “it has become a truism that we living during a period where satire and reality are not easily distinguishable” as I might fall into gloom again

Hmm, this has gone far beyond satire and into the realms of utter madness. The attacks on the lifeforce birth, family, survival of the species etc, beginning with the legislation and promotion of same sex behaviour, should be treated as the danger to our children that is becoming more obvious every day.
All this clever waffle is simply mental masturbation by people who live under the guise of being proponents of free speech….Please talk about the REAL issues.

Ordinary folks are confused and frightened by the changes being applied to society, they need support and reassurance rather than this so called satire.
Stuff like this alienates real people and makes them feel worthless.

Surely this is a hoax article by someone who gets all their ideas from GBNews?

This is probably a hoax comment by a deadly enemy of the writer determined to cast doubt on whether he really exists

Got me – I enjoy watching Andrew on GBNews!
His best joke:
“What flowers should I buy my woke neighbour who has just had their first child?”
“Chrysanthebirthingpersons!”

I still laugh even now at Andrew’s sketch on Brexit in 2018 -comparing it to trying to cash in a Scottish £10 note outside Scotland. Technically it is legal, but we’ll make it so hard for you to actually do” Great sketch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy-b8ZhT3AE

That is brilliant and as soon as i dare, I’ll forward it to my “socialist” friend who of course thinks all Brexit voters are fascists. As beautifully described here.
