His examples of people saying whatever they want are those who already have a huge fanbase and can't be 'cancelled'. They all receive massive backlash and calls for them to be fired, have their shows taken down etc. but they are too powerful. If an up and coming comedian made a joke that the twitter mob took offence to that same backlash would be enough to derail their career.

Lost me the moment he said "what they really mean is...." No, Russell, they don't.

I’ve always liked Russell, from first hearing the material about his dad, onwards. My mate, who was very into comedy, hated him. Funny old world!

He's out of touch. I'm working class and I can guarantee that freedom of speech for me doesn't mean a desire to use derogatory racial epithets or misogynistic terms. It does mean expressing a opinion without having groups attempting to cancel you or making an accusations of hate. He is not a working class spokesman. I still find him funny though, I just don't agree with everything he says....

Absolutely. I can guarantee that his younger self would have wanted nothing to do with the kind of behaviour incentivized in audiences now - crudely suspicious, jumping to conclusions for the glory of the 'gotcha', stereotyping (but it's only white guys (for now), so that's ok), recording, reporting, vilifying and ostracizing, even punishing those who simply remain civil towards a figure of hate (the so - called secondary sanction). It's so nakedly about being able to personally wield a ridiculous amount of power, unchecked (in the current stage of social media, anyway), rather than the social justice it's cloaked in. Again, comedians should be recoiling from *anyone* on a power trip, instinctively. When the Direct Messages emerge, their true colours are *really* shown. Appalling people.

A masterclass in fence sitting. Gervais, Chappelle were too big to cancel. They were widely reviled by other comedians for daring to allude to the issues of transgenderism. Any young unestablished comedian who did the same would not get a gig anywhere. Graham Linehan, the most successful comedy writer in Britain was thrown under the bus by his 'mates' for tweeting in support of women's rights. Moral cowards one and all. And so are you mate.

Russell completely shot down the petty, stupid, right wing notion of “wokeism” and “cancel culture” with such immediate ease, it was a pleasure to see. He is able to pull this off, not just bc of his style of humour, but bc he comes from an ordinary, working class background whilst possessing a unique personality and a curious intellect.

But when he was asked whos the most over rated comedian and he answered in such a respectable way like how can you messure humour amd laughs? You cant so how can anyone be over rated ever comedian out there has there fans and following from us all knowing what type of humour they do! So personally i loved that he mever answered that and has like he said reconised thqt he didnt come from thqt background so he knows how your mind has to work its hard work and i think hes great what an interview!! Loved it kept me engaged all the way through amd

I like Russell's stand up, saw him "live" once and he was far better than I had given him credit for. However he seems to have e fallen into the trap, off stating his opinion as a fact.

This is the first time I have heard someone credibly defend Woke culture. This has changed my point of view slightly. Although I do think there are decisions made about editing or cancelling some comedy that are questionable or inconsistent.

People with shit loads of money can say what they want and that's it. Hunger games soci

Don’t watch many Disruptors videos, but this one topped my favourite one, which was the Eubank car-crash. Rob’s genuine flummox at how quick Russell’s brain works was insightful and without hubris. But the star of the show was Kane’s logic and intelligence delivered with council-estate wisdom. What an app - A Perfect Podcast😂

Shame. I like Russell but to label everyone who speak out against woke culture and free speech issues as "wanting to shout out N like the old days" tells me all I need to know about where he is at. If he cant see past that clearly incorrect (assumption?..belief?..virtue signal?) then he cant possibly add value to this aspect of the conversation.

I mean, it is more about the intention behind people's words. As time goes on, people become more aware of the history of the consequences of attitudes. If you are part of a minority community and somebody says something that verbally echoes the very real physical oppression of the past, it reminds them that if they aren't vigilant in opposing it while their power is at its highest in history, they are in danger of allowing those oppressive practices to slowly creep back in. So people aren't going to want to be in compliance with that slow march back to openly oppressive policies/actions. If someone says something regressive and offensive, it reminds them that were laws and public opinion still followed that offensive line, they would not be safe in the presence of the offensive person. Pride and allyship have been hard fought for - getting offended is just the internal low-level version of mass protesting oppressive practices and attitudes.
