The writer accuses Kimmel of &#8220;Trump Derangement Syndrome,&#8221; political ignorance, and poor historical awareness, noting Kimmel referenced past disputes with ABC and celebrated that &#8220;we won, the president lost.&#8221; The article argues Kimmel&#8217;s claims were hypocritical because the UK, the monologue&#8217;s audience, has a record of prosecuting speech-related offenses-citing a City journal figure of about 12,000 annual speech arrests-and gives examples such as a Hertfordshire couple questioned over WhatsApp comments, a woman arrested after insulting someone by text, and an activist detained at Speaker&#8217;s Corner. The author contends kimmel should have used the platform to condemn real instances of repression in the UK and calls the segment one of his worst, portraying Kimmel as wealthy, sheltered, and unaware of current affairs. the piece frames Kimmel&#8217;s remarks as misguided, hypocritical, and uninformed rather then a credible critique of American politics.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Christmas is not a time of remembrance and happiness for everyone.
