Censorship

[diable rouge]

I've only been watching the LL the past few years, and only then when there hasn't been something that appeals on BBC4's music night. Just looks like your standard Gov bashing rather than Tory bashing per se (Trump has taken a lot of stick too), whoever's in power gets it in the neck, they're the ones making the decisions that affect our lives. If it feels one-sided, you have to remember that the Tories have been in power for well over 10 years now, before the LL even started...

Perhaps that's true.....unfort though its just not very funny (surely even if one is a 'tories are all that is evil' type of guy, one has to acknowledge that the enjoyment probably comes more from having your position reaffirmed, than anything that's truly comedic).....anyway...I'm not willing to watch for another 20 years though until Labour get thier act together to test the theory!

Although I suppose, given Trump was a regualr taregt, a good test will be how much they start taking Joe Biden down...of course the cynic in me says, not likely....

That's the only episode I saw - JC turned up in a Lords outfit all posh and done up - went into the changing room and came out dressed as the JC we all knew then - a little scruffy with brown shoes.

I actually thought that bit was funny.

The Daily Mash is terrible. The Mash Report was terrible.

I'm fine with the liberal/left-ish political angle, but it just isn't funny.. "Something mundane happened, it has been confirmed today" reported in a deadpan manner is not my idea of humour.

"The Daily Mash is terrible. The Mash Report was terrible. "

all these years and my opinion hasn't changed

on the minus column, I have seen much online leftie "it's like the third reich all over again" discourse. Which is painful and wrong

And yet. And yet

Unfunny TV shows carry on for years and years without any problem. Subjectivity and all that

But bad comedy shows also get cancelled all the time. And that's ok too

I literally don't care if the Daily Mash itself continues or if it's cancelled - I won't be watching

And yet and yet

Tim Davie arrived with a target of axing leftie comedy shows

Compared to the Thatcher years there does seem to be an unwillingness to tolerate anti-govt dissenting voices.

Away from bad comedy shows there is way, way less opposition to government compared to 80s. Wether it's TV or actual Political Party Opposition

Something is rotten somewhere. This government, more than many, needs examination. Mash Report didn't do a funny job (in my view - some do like it tho). And yet and yet
