message: Is there a photo that could be added, please?
: There you go - hopefully qualifies as fair use. veghead 18:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Initially, that link lead to a redirect back to this page.  However, I have made a start on the page, so it would be great if any of you good people could help out (I'm still quite a newbie here at Wikipedia)StephenBuxton 12:51, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation

message: The article says that he delivers in an upper-class English accent. He does sometimes put on an upper-class English accent for comic, often satirical, effect, but that is not his usual way of speaking.--Oxonian2006 (talk) 22:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That struck me as a bit off, so I've removed it. His accent is standard middle-class south-east England, if a bit nasal. Nic Dafis (talk) 12:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Upper-class English accent

message: Perhaps in the past his comedy wasn't mainstream, but is it fair to say that today he is an "alternative comedian"?  He's on radio 4 doing some of the most mainstream stuff there is (not to imply that as a negative).  Plus some of his recent stuff hardly fits with the "alternative comedy" article.  "You'll have had your tea" is pretty much Benny Hill, hardly alternative.  Maybe fair to say he was once part of the alternative comedy movement?  But is now just a comedian.  Making jokes about how posh the Tories are is not longer a shocking new thing. 144.32.128.73 (talk) 11:29, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

message: What's the source for this? He sounds more like a member of the Liberal Elite to me. I think 'left-wing' would better represent a NPOV.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.24.141.38 (talk) 20:32, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hardy refers to himself as a socialist regularly on radio, but are there any written references that could be used? Seems off to categorise him as an "English socialist" without mentioning that in the main body. U+003F? 00:34, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

text: Corbyn paid this tribute via Twitter, today:  Martinevans123 (talk) 16:31, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think there's too much doubt about his socialist commitment (as long as you resist the temptation to get into a "What is socialism?" debate).   But a nice factual sentence or two on it, based on a couple of robust sources, would be helpful.   Presumably there will be one or two obituaries and tributes published over the next couple of days that can be invoked.   Charles01 (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
