Last Century this was comedy... this century it is a video documentary...

In 1996 this was genius comedy - mocking the far right loons on the back benches! Today these comedy characters are literally running the county.

I think John Bird's character comes across as almost 'reasonable' when compared to the likes of Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Cash, the whole of the bloody ERG etc.

As you observed, now, the same 'swivel-eyed loons' are the government!

The UK is well and truly f*cked!
