There have been some crackers recently. I find them hilarious, but the hand wringers don’t.

I have always loved British dark humour from Basil Fawlty to Monkey Dust to Cyanide & Happiness.
A little too much sensitivity these days.

Most of them were plain vile but there were also some good ones. I remember when Mother Theresa died a few days after Princess Diana, and the gag was Elton John was releasing a charity song for her - Sandals In The Bin.

Mailonline are running a story about a guy being eaten by a shark in the Indian ocean, now there's a rich feeding ground for some dark humour.

The interesting thing to notice here is that there are any SJWs in Purfleet.

The cartoon on page 28 of the current issue (1508) of Private Eye magazine will be causing a stir!

(Buy a copy - it is only £2 for a cracking read!)

Last night I attended a warm up gig by Ricky Gervais for his new show "Super Nature".

You want dark? He did dark. Though, to be fair, he admitted that a lot of his riffs wouldn't "make it onto the Netflix version".
