A reader drew our attention to a Radio 4 comedy show, Armando Iannucci's charm offensive, in which Quakers made a brief appearance, albeit as fall guys. Eye was able to manipulate the 'play again' facility on the office computer and listened to comedian Armando Iannucci and his guests Dave Gorman, Will Smith and Jo Brand exercise some black humour concerning Muslims, a familiar target these days. Considering that this was just too sensitive a subject to pursue, the host Iannucci decided he would only make jokes about Quakers – 'because they won’t fight back.' But, readers, the gags were pretty poor: 'An Englishman, Irishman and a Quaker go into a bar. Says the Quaker - 'it's nice to get on, isn't it?'; 'How many Quakers does it take to change a candle?' Hmm, that's what we thought. We might have heard a reference to 'porridge jockeys' but our hearing for off-mike comments is not so good these days.
