What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

EP 249 - Is Rishi saying there will be WAR? (with SIMON EVANS)

This week Simon Evans joins me to discuss whether Rishi's big speech was scaremongering or if it actually had some good points. I also go in pretty hard on human macademia nut Keir Starmer (there will be letters). We also discuss the Baby Reindeer controversy and if there are double standards at work because the stalker is female. The Patreon only section looks at celebs being boycotted for not 'saying enough' on Gaza.

In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*
