Quote #190075
Well, he doesn’t make me laugh. I think I’ve got a fair sense of humour but I can’t really see it in him. I’ve listened to his show on the radio on a Saturday morning, and that’s a load of mince as well.

Interpretation
In this blunt assessment, St John dismisses a public figure’s comedic appeal and extends the criticism to the person’s radio programme, using colloquial Scots/British phrasing (“a load of mince”) to convey contempt and impatience with what he sees as forced or unearned humour. The quote also performs a kind of credibility-claim: by asserting he has “a fair sense of humour,” he frames his judgment as measured rather than sour. Overall, it reads as a piece of no-nonsense punditry—less an argument than a verdict—highlighting how reputations for wit can be contested when audiences perceive a mismatch between persona and performance.
