Cripps playing the long game
So, Jerry Sadowitz has just had his show cancelled by the venue, but it isn’t censorship.
Were the people who complained about the material kidnapped and forced to watch? Who the fuck goes to a Jerry Sadowitz gig and subsequently complains about the material?
What in the actual fuck were they expecting?
We’re heading to bland hell in a handcart.
“The Pleasance declined to give detail about what aspects of Sadowitz's material led to the cancellation.
Its director, Anthony Alderson, added: "The Pleasance is a venue that champions freedom of speech and we do not censor comedians' material.”
What fucking horse shit, they’ve just trampled all over freedom of speech!
Absolute cunts.

Aye. I saw that story. And I agree it's bullshit. It's like the furore over that Jimmy Carr joke - which I can't even remember now.
The point being that Carr special was on Netflix last Christmas and the "story" only blew up months later when a few people decided it was offensive.
Well don't watch a Jimmy Carr special then, what were you expecting?
As Jimmy Carr noted at the time, he's not going round shouting this stuff through people's letterboxes.
And yeah, how they can with a straight face say they're a champion of free speech while cancelling a show because some people complained and in the show views were expressed (almost certainly not in a serious way - it's a comedy show) which they didn't approve of...
Also. Rushdie

I hope ‘The Satanic Verses’ tops the bestseller list.

Hope he makes a speedy recovery. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is one of my favourite books.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Got the keys to the house on Friday, now officially a homeowner*! (Daddy™ )
Got til the end of the month to make it liveable before we have to move in.
*If you count having a mortgage as ownership rather than just renting from the bank and having to do all your own maintenance
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
