Avoiding clichéd left and right labels I like to ask myself after I have enjoyed "a bit of comedy" if it was essentially life affirming and positive. Or looked at another way does the comedian concerned actually like his fellow human beings?

Jeremy Hardy and Mark Thomas I find overwhelmingly negative and deeply, deeply, smug in their no doubt sincerely held political views. Neither seems to particularly like their fellow man and woman.

Mark Steel is invariably upbeat in his own weird way and his self-deprecation seems to be genuine unlike that of Hardy and Steel. You also learn "important stuff" when you listen to Mark Steel where as with Jeremy that is seldom the case and Mark Thomas can be informative and unnecessarily offensive at the same time.

Mark Steel has grown up a little and realises that his youthful support of Marxist and "right on causes" now looks very silly - Jeremy Hardy and Mark Thomas seem to be stuck in some kind of time warp that excludes any facts that contradict their long held beliefs: Tories are always selfish and/or stupid upper class snobs with posh accents blah, blah, blah that Margaret Thatcher well she was a right nutter, blah, blah, blah

Bring back Alexei Sayle all is forgiven. A genuinely intelligent and nice man pretending to be nasty.
