@UkSaturday why attack Eric Morecomb?
You have a miss, miss, miss and occasional near the mark joke.
It’s base race and homophobic jokes that belong in the past.
Did any of you watch HIGNFY growing up? Or any panel show ever?
You seem to have nothing to say and do it badly.

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@snlukupdates why attack Eric Morecombe. He is far better than your miss and sometimes hit show that’s based on gay jokes and race jokes that belong in the past.

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@ZackPolanski Erm, you said people actively committing anti-semetic murders should not be met with violence???

But you now say that seeing a salute wasn’t dealt with proportionally?

Where do you draw the line between you seeing an arm and other Jewish people at risk of murder.

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@pheebs_18 So you find homophobia impressive - more than satire

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@betbinch Shame it’s bringing their homophobia from the US. That shot belongs in the 90s

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@snlukupdates HIV and AIDS jokes simply are not funny - especially ones with no nuance.
Why the canned laughter, do we need to be told what to laugh at.
I have lost respect for every cast member.
I expected satire - not Roy Chubby Brown fake edgelord bullshit.
Rank, utterly rank

@RigoIrizarry @ML3democrats Politics isn’t really about sides or teams. It’s about doing what you think is right for yourself and the people around you???

@JamesGunn watching superman, and watching Peacemaker episode 6 - were the first times recently- as a gay man in a western country - I’ve been relieved of the fear of the future I live with every day.
Somebody is trying to remind people about who we need to be

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@JamesGunn I live in the UK, just finished latest episode of Peacemaker. But just want to thank you for not only telling great superhero stories. But also telling the stories we all need to hear.
You clearly understand the medium as if it’s your first language.

@andrewlawrence I decided to take a look at your “comedy” stuff since this was highlighted - because I believe in freedom of speech & protecting art, of which comedy is a form.

Recycled 80’s gags, relying on lazy stereotypes - nothing remotely original.

You’re just a Jim Davidson wannabe

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@mattrife you’re obviously an incredibly gifted stand up. The punching down isn’t even offensive - it just seems lazy - like I feel awkward as you could do better.
Especially when so much of your material is truly fantastic. Fat jokes about buttons and jokes about gays 🤷‍♂️

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@BethesdaSupport thanks for the Santatron……..

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@pipersfarm why can’t I order. Ordered before no problem, great produce. Says “No shipping rates found for this address”?

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@SangitaMyska @LBC @catrionabeck I hope that was worded correctly. I haven’t tweeted in years. I just thought this story was so utterly outrageous. Britain is the sum of the people who live here. Their origin doesn’t matter.

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@SangitaMyska @LBC @catrionabeck As a white British bloke, who’s proud of his (and our) history and heritage - I’m so so sorry that you had to endure that. It’s disgusting.
If you were invited here, born here, or sought refuge here. You belong here. Full stop.

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@Hannahgadsby just want to say thank you for #Nanette.

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@marksandspencer how is 8 people in shopping in an aisle 4 meters long, 1.5 meters wide remotely safe in your Hitchin store. You even have someone at the door - letting people in. There were more people in that tiny store than supermarkets 50 times larger

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@LNER You should get better ones then

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@lner that dangerous you nearly cancelled at Grantham - but you didn’t even declassify first to make the rest of the train safer?

[Matt Townsend @mtownsend]

@LNER Erm, I think the health and safety executive, and eu law about disability discrimination and accessibility are likely better options than a company who’d run a service like this
