Brickbat: That's Not Funny

British comedian Roy Chubby Brown often works blue. His jokes often touch on racial or ethnic topics and some could be seen as making fun of LGBT people. He's popular among working-class Brits. But apparently, not among members of the Swansea, Wales, Council. They have canceled an upcoming show by Brown at the Grand Theatre, which the council controls. "We want all our communities and staff to feel welcome and we felt this booking was unlikely to reflect our values and commitments to them," the council said in a statement.

Bloody humourless cunts in Swansea, ey, wot?
What language is that?
It's the language of filthy peasants, old chap.
Your Welsh accent sucks.
Well, first of all, Roy Brown ain't Welsh, he's English, and second, there's no such thing as a Welsh accent, the Welsh don't even have a spoken language. It's more just grunts and noises because they still haven't invented vowels over there. So there.
At'll teach em' guvnor!

We want all our communities and staff to feel welcome...
Well, almost all.
Just the right people.
We *want* it; just ain't gonna *do* it.
"all our communities" is code for people who think like us.
You mean "diversity".
Garbage Island and its citizens have no right to Arms nor Speech or Press.
Great Britain, where the government cancels culture.
The British are pussies.
And it's disappointing that the Welsh seem to be even worse than the English. I thought the English were supposed to be the pussies and the Celtic provincials a bit more rugged and tough.
Suderman, Virginia Postrel, and OBL walk in to an English pub.
In a thick, Liverpool accent, OBL's writhing, tentacled genitalia orders a Bombay Sapphire and tonic.
Yes, that is definitely not funny you have to make sure evething is okay. https://ukessayshelp.co.uk/blog/black-friday/
Every country has a town they make fun of. In Wales, they make fun of Swansea. In Soviet Russia, they make fun of Swansea.
