YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNew research from the Campaign for Common Sense won’t surprise anybody. In November the campaign recorded which comedians appeared on BBC 1, BBC 2 and Radio 4 and researched their public stance on politics, Brexit and being woke.
It found that: With 364 slots filled with 141 different comedians, of 267 of the slots, 74 per cent of them, were taken by comedians with publicly pronounced left-leaning or anti-Brexit uber woke persuasions.
Only four slots, 1.1 per cent, were given to two comedians in the list who are explicitly conservative, pro-Brexit or anti-woke. Are you surprised? Darren Grimes certainly isn't.
