      @@boopy3919 You have a point, and I agree he makes fun of deserving left/labour figures too. That's his job, I suppose. But if you notice, he never has attacked politically correct or anti-nationalist ideas. The divisions in society, over the past twenty years or so have in my opinion been becoming less left v. right and more politically correct/woke v. traditional nationalist/patriotic. I think he's PC and largely woke, hence he was bound to be against Brexit. But nonetheless I think he has integrity and I think he's generally sincere unlike many in his profession.

But despite his colossal £280,000 a year pay, his 'Connecting for Health' project is over-budget, behind schedule and threatening to become the biggest IT disaster in history. Now we may finally have the explanation for all the problems. His mum revealed that the man overseeing largest civilian IT project in the world failed his computer studies course while at Bristol Uni.
