Very sad to hear that Jeremy Hardy, one of Britain's finest comedians, has died. He was an inspiration to me in my early years on the comedy circuit, and since. A delightful person, and a brilliant, insightful, fearless comic.

1: We've already edited and censored our past. Hence the statues. 2: A bit rich from a man who likes to edit and censor our present. 3: "Pretending to have a different history" is a core British Value. We're one of the best in the world at it. And that is a hotly-contested field.
