Comedian Ricky Gervais' new Netflix special, released on Christmas Day, includes a joke about illegal boat migrants arriving in England, with a reference to Gary Lineker. The joke has sparked discussions on illegal immigration and criticism of public figures like Lineker. In a related matter, Dutch lorry drivers are challenging £6.5 million in fines imposed by Sadiq Khan's ULEZ expansion, with the case potentially setting a precedent against the ULEZ fines. The legal dispute has drawn attention to the controversy surrounding ULEZ and the actions of the London government.
So Ricky Gervais is getting the Dave Chappelle treatment where both sides are treating a joke as serious political commentary and trying to appropriate it? Chappelle and Gervais are both lefties.
