Excluding the opening animated sequence, brave souls speaking truth to power that they are. <br /><br />How many gags poking fun at Remainiacs were there? Fewer than one, I think. Regularly scheduled fatty jokes about Eamonn Holmes and Eric Pickles, but never about Diane Abbott. Ever heard a joke about Hillary Clinton? Ever seen Hislop go on one of his patented moralizing soap box routines about her corruption or lies? Never happened, never will.

I think I'll rewatch Harry and Paul's 'The Twos' just to remind myself that the BBC is not, in fact, beyond parody on at least one level.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-64993952551049269582016-08-26T20:44:23.139+01:002016-08-26T20:44:23.139+01:00Craig,

Beeb are getting over the line into naked political bias with this one. <br /><br />What are the rules here? Can Farage object?<br /> Ozfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351381043702605990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-59831570084741374192016-08-26T12:56:45.904+01:002016-08-26T12:56:45.904+01:00What a Balls Up! could be hilarious. Episode 3: ...What a Balls Up! could be hilarious. Episode 3: Ed comes home to find that Yvette Cooper, in order to save her political credibility has kept her promise and filled the house with a load of "Syrian" engineers, doctors, dentists and would be footballers, none of whom actually posess the talents they claim. As the episode continues, the house could fill up with ever more "children" (all aged 20 plus) , aunties, and uncles - all dependents of course so interfering with Ed Balls' attempts to learn the Moonlight Sonata, until finally he has a jolly wheeze and manages to offload them all on to Jeremy Corbyn.
