@@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.

Now we may finally have the explanation for all the problems.
