    Enjoyed every minute of that. Milton Jones is such a funny man. And in an age where expletives and smut are the order of the day, it's a delight to enjoy his humour and not have to be embarrassed because your children or your mother are in the room with you.

    I've always thought that same thing about comedy. It's a weapon of truth. Comedians are able to say taboo truths out loud by making them funny. Comedy is definitely a gift from God.

    Thanks. Humour is indeed a gift from God. I think more could have been made of its ability to bring people together. How often can people laugh together wven when they haven't grasped the joke. It helps to undermine the pompous (think of Jesus comment about the speck and the plank mentioned by Justin when talking to Frank Skinner). It can help break down barriers. Think of the 'Chuckle Brothers', Ian Paisley and Martin McGuiness in Northern Island.

    People of religious faith especially within christianity that endorse laughter due to comical effects as such is btw quite the opposite of what the tenets profess. The modern "christian" approach to mediate this uncomfortably chiming issue has been to water it down (read: cherry-pick and "interpret" beyond recognition) to a whole different version of what actually is written verbatim in scripture, which proves even the openly professing believers don't really want to take the commandments, rules and demands not to mention threats within anymore seriously than say claims being left without christmas presents lest exhibiting commonly considered decent behaviour through the year. In itself it statues as solid proof for reason and reality replacing superstition and mythology as arbiters in society.

    Current comedy appears to have just shifted the butt, or target of the joke from minorities, to the majority. Not sure if this is progress, or just a cultural shift? Atheists making fun of Christians, for example, is this any different from mocking other groups? To me it seems hitting the target is more important, than making people laugh and it's intent is disingenuous.

    Being from the age of the mother-in-law jokes, I find the ‘planting’ of the non English homosexual in a wheel chair as a completely false agenda.
    Certainly people of that ilk are in the British society, but their inclusion by proportion is not necessarily funny, as all they seem to talk about in their act is their ‘condition.’
    Similarly with the adverts on TV. Britain is being sold out to the minorities, and as such is tending to loose much of it’s white Christian identity, which has such a lot to be quietly proud of, despite what the Woke minority would have us all believe.

      You are confusing two things here. Real Christianity isn't a "white thing", after all it's the worship of a Jewish rabbi who was nailed to a cross as a trouble maker, and who was raised from the dead, and it's good news to all nations, races and tribes. One of the revolutionary things about the early church was Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor included in the same community and given equal value. Now cultural Christianity is admittedly something else entirely different but far less valuable.

      @@KJ-lb4tj The smart answer is that IQ also has little to do with intelligence (see The Mismeasurement of Man by S.J.Gould). If you knew anything about academic history you would know that universities were long under the thumb of the Church (see The Warfare of Science with Theology by A.D.White) and all dons were forced to take holy orders (unless they were Jewish, in which case they were entirely barred). This has led to the misapprehension that all of those clever Oxbridge scientists and mathematicians were very devout. The syndics have made sure that little has changed.
