Edit: Didn't know about his other views. I no longer consider his views forgivable.
He is remarkably progressive and lucid for his age, so I'm inclined to cut him some slack for the topics I wholeheartedly disagree about with him.
For example, his support for Brexit I find hard to forgive... but unlike most of the ghouls that supported it, he seems genuine in his opinions and remains at odds and vocally against the Global Far Right.

The guys is openly transphobic, is part of the whole "comedy is ruined because if woke" crowd, is anti immigrant and anti-muslim and like you said, is pro brexit, but you want to cut him some slack because he's "genuine" in his transphobia and xenophobia???
Well that sucks. I don’t really follow the stars or British politics, so I missed that. Disappointing.
