Basic Bloke 2 \u2013 There\u2019s No Bloke Without Fire is the latest tour from comedian, author, podcaster and radio host Geoff Norcott<\/b> and Geoff\u2019s first under a Labour government, so he\u2019s got plenty to get off his chest! Not least because there\u2019s nothing quite so British as being promised a brave new dawn then realising it\u2019s as crap as the last one.<\/p>\n
Geoff will savour getting his teeth into the new \u2018big beasts\u2019 of British politics, with scathing words for Starmer and Rachel Reeves (while surprisingly positive about the idea of Angela Rayner as PM).<\/p>\n
Culturally, Geoff is conscious that \u2013 as the global headwinds shift right \u2013 he might end up at odds with people who used to be on \u2018his side\u2019. He\u2019s dismayed to find that some of the cultural right weren\u2019t really against censorship and cancellation, they just wanted to be the ones doing it.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, Geoff can\u2019t get his head around people who shared his suspicion of the EU\u2019s power openly salivating over the idea of Britain becoming Trump\u2019s 51st State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
