This is what the end of woke sounds like. In a new BBC interview, Ricky Gervais doubles down on his jokes about transgenderism, fat shaming and disability, and then laughs with the confidence of a man who knows his audience gets it - and the BBC interviewer doesn't. Link ⬇️

More sad scenes from the Trans in the City 'gala' in November - once hosted by Clifford Chance and sponsored by Google, Sky, Barclays UK and bp. There are no logos this year because zero brands backed it. Sounds like they might not bother for 2026. Time to call it quits?
