  1. Always mistrusted overtly ‘political’ comedy of any stripe. Never understood this human compulsion many seem to have to put all their political eggs into a single basket. When I assess my views on each given topic I find I am ‘liberal’ in some, ‘green’ in others, ‘conservative’ in more and ‘socialist’ in a few. The rest I haven’t made my mind up yet. Blake’s dictum I always have in mind here when it comes to these things which, for me, are under constant review: The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind. Or even better, this from Emerson, which captures perfectly the predicament of those toeing a party line, come what may: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. Or this from the glorious Whitman: Do I contradict myself?/Very well then I contradict myself/I am large, I contain multitudes.) To bind yourself to ideas one day, and then to be doomed to defend them come what may, is not worthy of the thinking human being.😳

  2. He’s like an ersatz Frankie Boyle; aiming too hard for the shock tactics, and landing like a damp squib. He reminds me of a 16 year old who’s ditched his Gameboy for 5 minutes and been let out to mix it with the adults for an evening. Proof that he’s a talentless non-entity, if that were needed, are his cringeworthy , unfunny, flat appearances on GB News where he appears as nothing so much as the pub bore droning on in a deeply witless manner. My theory about Kearse is that he’s taken in a large swathe of his fan base with his accent. Non-Scots hear him and think, this sounds Boylesque and blunt enough to give it whirl. As a Scot, I can tell you this guy wouldn’t get ranked in a ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ contest in most small towns up here. His fateful flaw is, scriptless, he’s witless, and his hit-rate with a script is lower than his granny’s fanny. Final point: he’s fake. Don’t you gullibles believe the right-wing, anti-woke sentiment he ostensibly betrays. He’s all over the place, politically, as witnessed by his ‘hilariously’ ambiguous out-of-his-depth interviews all over this platform. So there you have it: Leo Kearse; a Frankie Boyle wannabe, pretending he’s something he’s not in the dishonest attempt at a few cheap laughs with blunt, unsubtle humour my wee brother and his mates come up with in the park every weekend. Keep believing, suckers!🥸
