Probably because of how unelectable the only opposition party is now. Corbyn stood a good chance but he was absolutely hammered by the papers and news here. Now look at Labour. Starmer can't even name one bloody policy he wants to put in place and he's backed down on so many things-he claimed he's an LGBTQ+ ally and yet he refused to speak up in favour of trans rights and has multiple transphobes on his front bench that he does nothing about.

England is now stuck with Tory and Tory Lite. We're fucked either way. Doesn't help that Labour SHOULD be appealing to younger voters so that they can actually get the votes like Corbyn did. If Labour wants to be elected, they need to shift back to the left instead of being centrist and appeal to younger voters who lean left more than right.

As is... There's no party that stands a chance against the Tories in the next election and all the older generations keep voting those fuckers in.

Uproar over what he said? Not a chance. The Tories are outright HATED in the UK-any comedian blasting them over their bullshit would be praised. There's comedians that do it right now. Everything he said here would be aired just fine.

He was absolutely incredible-someone shared this clip of him from his show and he's just so fucking funny. He always stuck with his roots no matter how big he got on TV and before this, he used to do drag as Lily Savage and that was just as funny, if not funnier.

He's gonna be sorely missed by many of us here in the UK.

Yeah... Drag as a whole is a huge part of our culture though because the UK loves pantomime shows too where drag is a major part of it so that's probably a big part of why we're more accepting of drag queens. Drag queens are harmless and Paul O'Grady's Lily Savage is a perfect example. Lily Savage is a classic drag queen and was absolutely hilarious to watch hosting Blankity Blank.
