Funny Politics

Former political adviser and stand up comedian Ayesha Hazarika explains why she thinks humour is such an important part of our political discourse. "It can be a weapon to attack, or a cloak to shield. But most importantly, it pinpoints the truth about how the world sees you, it shows self-awareness and helps you try to cling on to good faith in bleak times." Four Thought was recorded at the End of the Road music festival. Presenter: Mike Williams Producer: Sheila Cook.
