Would you care to discuss the matter with Doris Moore of Brampton, ON?

Has it ever been repeated since the 1970s?

Or is it considered unsuitable for modern sensitive audiences because
of
its racial stereotypes?

It isn't the audience that's sensitive. It's the lefty/liberals who
run broadcasting, who would like to brainwash us all.

Better wear your tinfoil hat then.

This morning the BBC News I watched only covered what the Tories were
doing and only interviewed a Tory MP. This must be evidence of right
wing bias within the BBC ;-)

The episodes of HIGNFY leading up to the last election were hardly
impartial.

Agreed. They were very nice to Labour and Tories and insulting to the
Lib Dems.

Ian Hislop was groveling to the Conservative Party.


Possibly because like even the most rabidly dyed in the wool lefties, he was
so thoroughly disenchanted and ****ed off with Nulabour's antics, under
Gordon's leadership, at the end of their term, that almost any kind of
alternative looked good by comparison!

Seems to me that many 'mainly' anti Tory propaganda programmes, such as
Spitting Image, the New Statesman etc. conveniently got dropped as being
'pass their sell by date' when Nulabour took office, it will be interesting
to see whether we shall see a resurgence of TV satire programs now they're
back, albeit in the guise of an unholy alliance.

Well not really. The woman has been brainwashed, and is also a typical
example of those who look for ways to be offended. I suppose I could
explain to her that the word has a perfectly non-offensive meaning,
derived many years ago from the colour of negro skin. But it would be
a waste of time. She says she doesn't want the settee anymore. Some
sort of fiddle in the offing I should think. These whingers are always
on the make.

Todays PM prog on R4 had a long item about illegal immigrants in
France. The item was ludicrously slanted in favour of the illegals. A
right old sob story it was.

How often do you post on political newsgroups about digital-tv and
installing antenna systems?

Just asking to see if you have a sense of 'balance' yourself. :-)

Slainte,

One would hardly think that as editor of Private Eye, he could in any way be
marked out as being a 'Tory supporter'!

From Wikipedia, Political views..

"Hislop has been highly critical of all major British political parties for
over 20 years. Appearing on Question Time on 18 September 2008 he praised
Liberal Democrat treasury spokesman Vince Cable for his analysis of the
ongoing economic and financial crisis, apparently expressing support for the
Liberal Democrats, jocularly stating "I'm standing for them." In a 2009
"Five minutes with" interview with Matthew Stadlen for BBC News he stated
that if he were required, "at the point of a gun", to stand in an election
for any UK political party, he would stand for the fictional "Vince Cable
for Treasurer Party".

And that left wingers approve of dole scroungers - if they are indeed that?
Left wingers are very soft on all forms of welfare state abuse.
There's no doubt about that.

Twaddle. I am left of centre and I dissaprove of welfare state abuse.
In fact it is probably right wingers that tolerate welfare state abuse
so they can get ammunition to try to scrap the welfare state
completely. Left wingers want it to work so should not tolerate
abuse.

One thing I do find strange is how so many right wingers think the state
should pay for the care of *their* old folks - regardless of how rich they
are.
Person One works hard all their life and saves up for their old age.
Result: the state takes their house and savings to pay for their care.
Person Two does very little work all their life, and boozes and smokes
what money they have. Result: the state provides their care.

That old Daily Mail argument.

Person Three works hard all their life but on low wages, does not
drink or smoke. They cannot afford to pay for care when they get old.
Should the state not provide any care for them? Person Three is much
more common than person two.

And what about person one? What is more important that your own care?
They can afford to pay for their own care (and get better care as a
result) so why shouldn't they?

His idea of a satirical joke was to say Brown or to make remarks about
Brown's
appearance.



I refer you back to my original post, did you watch the show evolve
politically in the dying Labour years, under Gordon? If so you would have
seen that even the most ''right on'' leftie comedians found it increasingly
difficult to try and create any kind of humour out of attempting to defend
the indefensible..
