Shame about Lee Hurst

Way back in the dim and distant past I used to think he was quite funny on "They Think It's All Over". Turns out he supports Tommy Robinson, and not in way that suggests he's too bothered about the facts:

He purports to be supporting the working classes. I love the way actual working class types have responded pointing out they really don't want him to speak for them.

Ooooch! Another one off the 'viewable' list!

Thought you were talking about Lee Mack for a moment... YANBU

"If only the people trolling me now for my supportive comments re Tommy Robinson were so vocal about gangs of child rapists. Oh well, moving on."

Anyway, as Dylan said, "[ignore] The ones who jump on the wagon
Just for a while 'cause they know it's in style".

I get that you want to be all cool and signal how woke you are so enjoy it OP. Bonus millenial point to you.

Yup, another one who doesn't understand the legal system and why what Yaxley-Lennon did could have resulted in those he purports to hate going free. What does he want, the US system of trial by media/public lynching? Idiot.

He’s been on twitter pushing his right wing views for ages now.

ReservoirDogs · 10/06/2018 15:45

I know I followed him on Twitter after something funny he'd tweeted but soon unfollowed him after his political views became clear (and shocking!)

YouTheCat · 10/06/2018 16:12

What the fuck is a 'bonus millenial point'? Confused

Hurst is a right wing twat. Robinson is a dangerous man.

He really is unbelievably thick if he's fallen for the line that condemning TR equates to supporting child rapists.

I've never like Lee hurst. He seems like a proper twat, and his sit com is shite.

FASH84 · 11/06/2018 00:27

I thought he died??

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 11/06/2018 00:28

Oops. Mistook him for Lee mack! 😂

LARLARLAND · 11/06/2018 00:28

Lee Hurst isn’t in a sitcom Confused

I think his career is more or less on the skids, and you can see why.

I think his politics suck but his career isn't "on the skids" because of that. He stopped appearing in public so much because of a health condition IIRC.
