I was like 4 when it stopped so I've never really watched it but I think the decision to depict all politicians as grotesque puppets was a sound one.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



It was good but could never recover after Thatcher resigned. All the Reagan skits were :discourse:

I like the one where they're trying to teach Ronnie how to say Gorbachev's name phonetically, with pictures of a mouth, a sheep and a chef who happens to be serving tongue (gob-baa-chef)

"Mouth... Sheep... Tongue? Say, ain't that the Chinese fella?"

Yeah, they never managed to evolve past the late Cold War. Which is totally fine and I enjoyed their work, but a pity nonetheless.

In 1939 more Brits had died to car crashes caused by the blackout than the nazis so I can imagine mail readers saying it was a bigger problem tbh.

if people are not afraid to say they're Tories it will be a lot easier to identify them and not invite them to parties. this proposal has my full support.

I mean, it's not difficult to spot young Tories. At the point this picture was taken I'd spent the better part of 4 days getting hammered in a field and I was still more human looking than young Tories can ever manage.

hes like "we gotta do good things for young people like finding good things they like and doing them" and his only idea was to build more houses to make housing prices go down which... is the direct opposite of one of his own party's sole remaining policy
