I think Wagner has been cancelled. He mainly wrote operas, stuff like that, I think.
He hasn't. Opera North, and others, regularly play his stuff.

Although Wagner programmes were reportedly cancelled as a result of the Ukraine invasion.He hasn't. Opera North, and others, regularly play his stuff.
Optimistic.you get my point
Forgive my ignorance, but was Wagner (the composer, not the X Factor dude) actually particularly right wing compared to the standards of the time? Or do we only think that because of the Nazi association with his music? And are we in danger of equating nationalism and/or racism with right wing politics?
compared to the standards of the time?
Tell us a right wing joke then.
Englishman, Irisman and Scotsman.........
woah there. Instant red flag.
and the barman says "We don't serve transgender people".

So there don't exist any 'right wing' jokes which aren't so offensive that you daren't tell them in full? And right wing is synonymous with racist?
Only people like you would be offended though, the signallers, taking the p*ss out of people is always funny (and always will be) it's just that the world is so afraid of upsetting someone it's not in the mainstream.
Why not actually tell the joke then, and maybe explain what makes it right wing?
Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman jokes were the sort of thing I was telling in junior school so I doubt it's anything I haven't heard the likes of before. Are you sure it's right wing and not just casually racist? Or is that the same thing in your mind?
I think that's part of the problem. The press and Conservative politicians have invented left wing comedy. Comedians satirise and mock Conservative Politicians. Thus Hislop and Merton are "typical left wing biased comedians".As for 'right wing ' I'm assuming in this instance we ARE talking about sexist, racist, 'punching down ' comedy rather than some in depth political humour which frankly bores me to tears.
