Ricky's USP is to make you laugh at something you don't think is funny. Nothing is sacrosanct.

And he's bloody good at it.

I do wonder about this. That's the third time he has used humour to show up the trans ideology.

Is it because he wants to make you laugh at the untouchable, or is it a political point?



Check out he comments! He's arguing with everyone that is defending the attackers!

Those comments are weird

One comment: if a woman has bollocks you can kick them

But transwoman using thuggery and violence against someone would NEVER happen.

Is it because he wants to make you laugh at the untouchable, or is it a political point?

Probably a bit of both, but in this particular case, I feel it's very much more of a political point. The absurdity of the reporting on this case originally should have been the WTF moment for everyone.

The really depressing thing about that twitter thread is the number of people who haven't picked up that the "women" he refers to are male-bodied, and just reply to say yes, yep, it's ok to hit a woman who attacks you . I'm not sure he's really got the point across in a helpful way.

I think it's that he wants to make you laugh at the untouchable - political points and all!

I grew up on the same estate as RG. That "nothing is sacrosanct" attitude was typical there and it didn't cause offence (it'd be all the funnier if it did).

And, as Datun says, RG is very good at what he does!

Comedians get it because they are attuned to absurdity.

Dramatists don’t because they are all about the drama - and trans being on the drama in buckets.

That’s why Gervaise and Linehan get it and Tony Marchant and Jimmy McGovern don’t.

Bring on the drama, that should be.

Bollockettes maybe?

And again in the comments with the mixer and suicide rates. Someone needs to point out the real data every time.

Murder. Not mixer.

I have no data on use of tonic water.

Tonic water is probably transphobic in some way, shape or form, bowl...

G&T is all about the T these days.

“LGBT” missed out on a trick there

I think the Q stands for ‘quinine’.

I have trouble keeping up with the alphabetti spaghetti.

Juniperophobes the lot of you

Hats off to Ricky for putting himself in the firing line.

He’s bulletproof.

He’s like the e Cage of comedy.

Luke Cage.
