According to the reviews I've seen People Don't Like Them.

This is the show that Burchill publicised by describing people as "filthy remainers". So the Union Theatre can feck off.

Can you quote some examples of what Brexit voters are routinely called on this forum? I guess to be “routine” it would have to be once a day or once a week for some quite extensive period of time. |

The reviews seem largely to be based on whether or not the reviewer thinks Brexit is a good idea.

Really? I haven’t seen one good review of it. The CityAM piece linked above isn’t a review, it’s just a diary item in “Editor’s Notes”.

I don't think of the Telegraph who gave it 1* as being particularly Remain (is it?)

There was 4* from a blogger, Jonathan Baz mytheatremates.com/people-like-us-union-theatre-jonathan/From that review: 'This is unquestionably a courageous, partisan show for the Union to stage - and there is as much thought put into the production as there is heart, with the programme alone containing more than six pages of essay and comment on Brexit. And if ever there was an example of fortune favouring the brave then this is it: the show has sold out for its entire run and deservedly so. While People Like Us may be unusual fodder for a West End transfer, there is already talk of a run being staged in the nation’s North East. It would sit well in a TV treatment too.' So, different strokes for different folks, I guess. The reviews, photos and excerpts from the programme (which have been posted online) would make me run a mile... |

Of course it does, it's co-written by Julie Burchill.

Not remotely. The Telegraph's editorial stance has been very, very pro-Leave.
(My mother - left-wing, pro-Remain - reads the Telegraph, mostly because she prefers the crossword and the other puzzles to the ones in the Guardian. That sound you can hear in the background is my left-of-Jeremy-Corbyn father spinning in his grave.)

If I'm honest, I thought Julie Burchill had died.
