Simon Evans Is Right – BBC Sounds
An interesting examination of the rôle of the authentic comedian, currently beleaguered by the neo-orthodoxy of the woke cult and its swelling pressure to lean acquiescently and naively to the perilous political left, notwithstanding lessons from 20th century history.

A word cloud of recent clerihew targets…
From Satire III, by John Donne
Let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;
Be busy to seek her; believe me this,
He’s not of none, nor worst, that seeks the best.
To adore, or scorn an image, or protest,
May all be bad; doubt wisely; in strange way
To stand inquiring right, is not to stray;
To sleep, or run wrong, is. On a huge hill,
Cragged and steep, Truth stands, and he that will
Reach her, about must and about must go,
And what the hill’s suddenness resists, win so.
Yet strive so that before age, death’s twilight,
Thy soul rest, for none can work in that night.
To will implies delay, therefore now do;
Hard deeds, the body’s pains; hard knowledge too
The mind’s endeavours reach, and mysteries
Are like the sun, dazzling, yet plain to all eyes.
