The satire had nothing to do with his colour. A way would have been found to mock him for his disastrous mini budget whatever his colour.

Good grief.

In 21st century U.K. that is wrong on so many levels, how on earth did nobody notice.

It's not worse that "Bozo" Johnson or any of the other silly name calling. They are all silly and nobody should indulge in it. In my opinion.

Kamikwasi has been all over the internet since he announced his disastrous ‘fiscal event’, HIGNFY didn’t invent it. Why is it worse than Bozo Johnson? I’m not a fan of either, by the way.

Well, we really injoyed HIGNFY last night. The current circumstances are perfect for one thing only, and that is satire and dark humour.

But agreed with others that moking his name was OoO.

I find myself in the unique position of agreeing (sort of) with Prentice for the very first time. Making fun of people's names, whatever their origin, isn't funny at all. It's lazy and pathetic.

If that is satire, I am a Dutchman.
Satire is clever and funny, this is neither.

What is special about an African name? Odd comment

Having an African name doesn't make him immune from political satire.

He's the British Chancellor of the Exchequer presiding over an economic disaster, which makes him fair game.

I find HIGNFY more and more childish in it’s humour, cruder at times too.
Is making fun of an African name a good pastime for some?
I am not a Conservative supporter but dislike this sort of infantile name calling.

Nicknames from last night’s HIGNFY included Kamikaze Kwarteng and Khazi Kwarteng as that is where the country is headed.
Any more offers?

(Is this too optimistic?)
