The BBC Two panel/comedy program "Mock The Week" takes on Republican lies about Britain's National Health Service, and Russell Howard takes on Sarah Palin's lies in particular.

14. Thank you!
I was welcomed...once...mostly I have been getting slammed.

Especially yesterday when I posted a comment regarding New Orleans.

Your Welcome is heartily appreciated! Felt pretty damned alienated yesterday. But I will never give up my DU...

15. Try the Lounge. It is strange, and sometimes confusing, but usually
friendly...

18. I just love that British humor
I first fell in love with it when I first saw Monty Python....They know what satire is all about.

19. Good show indeed
Full episodes can be found on youtube too - search for jkproonps3 for the current series that this one comes from. Much of the topical politics and pop culture can be lost on Americans - even longer term immigrants like me who have only barely kept up with UK doings, but it's still very funny stuff.

If you prefer a similar humor but with a bit more general trivia/fact-based targets that are likely to be more universal search for a show called "QI" while you're at it.

The Scottish guy with the joint task force quip is Frankie Boyle. He is probably the most acerbic and sharp of the bunch although he does tend to get a bit samey over time as he injects his standard standup routines whenever possible, but he's still going to provide many of the laughs.

Nice find!

21. In America, our TV show on Healthcare is called "Mock the Weak"
think about it! Billionaires and the RW are making fun of the vulnerable.
