great post as usual!
Great work David- I think it takes a lot of courage to address this kind of theme in the modern age, but it’s work like this which adds to British culture and helps people understand each other. Comedy is the way to go!
I also think you’re right in saying that offense is initiated when an act comes from a place of hatred.
