Sad to hear Jeremy Hardy’s untimely passing at the age of 57. Great socialist comedian who was very funny and on the side of the people. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47089436
A really funny guy, but also one who wasn't afraid to speak out - anyone ever seen him talk on Blair & the Iraq disaster? RIP.
Believe it or not, until I saw people on the news talking about him I had never heard of him, I am a little wiser now.
Very sad, he was great in Saturday night and Sunday morning. Something of a working class northern hero.
Great actor. Turned down a knighthood "Maybe people in America think being a 'Sir' is a big deal," he said. "But I think we should all be misters together. I think the 'Sir' thing slightly perpetuates one of our diseases in England, which is snobbery. And it also helps keep us 'quaint,' which I'm not a great fan of."
