Tee hee. His next tour should be "How I decided there was more money in genderwoo" or a double act with Billy Bragg called "Trying to stay cool with da kids".

To be fair to Lee, he does have to keep up his w*k* credentials.

After all, he does write for the Grauniad.

True. He probably gets disowned if he doesn't virtue signal explicitly enough in his list of favourites and "stuff I don't like". I'm still very disappointed he does not have a list of favourite dinosaurs but suspect the terfasaurus would not make it.

I suspect you are right.

I thought that list was pathetic. It's like I used to do in the past... Oh, months ago now.

Anyway, Im glad he made that list and put TOJ on a pedestal and Graham in a bin - as it has saved me a 100 mile round trip to see him next week.

He’s your teenage boyfriend from your hometown who’s impossibly cool and good looking, you split up and leave town. On visiting your parents fifteen years later, you bump into him in the pub you used to drink in, he drinks the same beer, wears the same clothes and is thumbing through an old copy of the NME. You feel a bit sad that this chance meeting ruined your memory of having an impossibly cool and good looking boyfriend.

But Betty after all we meant to each other, I saved all the beer mats you shredded and I gave you my signed Gary Numan poster

Nothing like a nice big gap in the audience :)

These days, If you say humans can't change sex, Stewart Lee would get you arrested and thrown in jail.

Three dates in Brighton - he knows his audience! They're very welcome to him.

I wonder if it will get reviewed in The Argus?

Sorry Moley, I thought you typed Argos…. I had to remind myself, they don’t review food mixers, let alone overrated comedians.

Aw, he’s free on Valentines Day….don’t all rush now..

Sooo, the brave fish left the swamp all those millions of years agoslooping through quick sand and wriggling through weed. But what is this? Our fish is being told to get back where he came from. Stewart Bloody Lee is standing on the edge of the swamp with a bullhorn, “ You, Walking Fish” Lee sneered; “We don’t want your sort around here”. “But why?” Our poor shocked walking fished asked. “You have egregiously failed to wear dodgy children’s presenter clothes- and you have no flag”

“I thought it was the Ukips that didn’t want change…” sobbed a crying fish into his floppy fins, “but it was Stewart Lee who was a dodgy fuck all alooooooooooooooong”.

Nice one! 😂

Perhaps try and shoehorn The Beaker People in there though!

I actually thought I was seeing Harrop, except with greying temples.

Hang on a sec though: Trans Women Are Women, aren't they? So he's saying that they too "Don't Deserve to be Safe". But keeping trans people safe is the excuse for all these attacks and cancellations we've seen! He's undermining the whole project!

Anyone would think that he hadn't thought it though!

I thought it was going to be "Fierce Jealous Of Glinner At The End Of The Day".

Expand full comment

Nah, I'm still waiting for his punchline, I got hope!

Expand full comment

A punchline? For a Stewart Lee show?!

Please be sensible now - His shows are only two hours long. Nowhere near enough time!

Expand full comment

According to Stewart Lee's website he is not on any social media, so is it possible that he isn't fully aware of the horrors of the Trans Extremist movement and the cohort that are really pushing this agenda? Trans Rights Extremists are creatures of the social media swamp thanks to Stonewall's infestation of the mainstream media. When I spread the word to friends and family, people actually do not believe that it can be happening. I couldn't believe it when I found out and it's been a harsh lesson.

Expand full comment

You may be right. And perhaps we should give him and others the benefit of the doubt.

But really, my and others' patience is running very thin lately. And he may well only read the left wing press and he won't get the truth from that side, sadly. Especially if he just reads the captured rag that is the Guardian.

Expand full comment

He needs a paper version of The Glinner Update...

Expand full comment

Or he needs to just take 15 minutes from his busy schedule and actually visit and read the Glinner Update. Perhaps if we all bombard him with links, he might - just might - actually look at some opinions that don't align with his own for once.

The captured rag is such a great way to put it. I want to write a poem on that.

It goes with that soldiers of ideology idea perfectly. Would you mind?

Hello Penny the Poet!

Thanks for that - and no I would not mind - I would be honoured! (As long as I get to see it!)

Of course he’ll never date, sleep with or marry a trans person but he’s gonna make sure you do, transphobic bigot!

Expand full comment

Just to say to those wary of Gettr - the level is going up. Plenty of respectable newcomers now. Certainly enough to keep the crazy Trumpeters away from recommendations

Expand full comment

Yes, I hit you are right .

I am on there. (so that is perhaps one good reason to avoid...)

But if you stay amongst your 'own crowd', as we do on Twitter, and it will be 'mostly fine' I think.

And at least we won't be cancelled for our views

Pardon me if I'm missing the subtleties of this thread (not being sarcastic) but you know this is fake, right? That's not how you spell his name and he's 20 years older than this pic.

Expand full comment

Well, I certainly know it's 'fake'. 🤓

(On the update e-mail the name on the poster was spelt wrong - My fault! Doh! More care required, less haste!)

But the photo was taken from his own press pack. So blame him!
