I have no problem with satire and enjoy, for example, "The Brexit Bulldog" on Radio 4's "Broadcasting House" which pokes fun at David Davis's implied incompetence. However, on the News Quiz in question Miles Jupp, the host, assured us that Davis was like a drunk who gets on the train and sits next to you before insisting on showing you naked pictures of his wife on his phone and then hitting you and vomiting. I could see no justification for this or, indeed, connection with reality. I complained to the BBC regarding this gross slur. They replied that they cater for a wide range of tastes leaving me feeling as though I was some kind of humourless killjoy!
