There was a delightful interview with Eric Idle in The Guardian the other day (urgh, I hate myself because it really does have some great writers but their TERFy views are horrendous. Even though I actually understand exactly how they ended up there.)
What does he think when he hears Cleese claiming that comedians are no longer free to make jokes without fear of being cancelled? “He’s who he is now. The thing I try to remember is the good times when we were young and funny. And we are no longer those people or speaking to today’s generation. We’re old farts. We should be left to go quietly to bed and watch the telly.” He giggles.

Truss is losing the support of the crazification factor. At this rate the only people who will approve of her performance are the people who would approve of anyone with (Con) next to their name, even if that person was Joseph Stalin or Jack the Ripper.
