Trial by Laughter.
by Ian Heslop (Private Eye ) and
Nick Newman.
They have written the Wipers Times which is on in London at the moment. They have taken inspiration again for this from real life events. William Hone, the forgotten hero of free speech, was a bookseller, publisher and satirist. In 1817, he stood trial for ‘impious blasphemy and seditious libel’. The only crime he had committed was to be funny. Worse than that he was funny by parodying religious texts. And worst of all, he was funny about the despotic government and the libidinous monarchy.
