My unpopular opinion / conspiracy theory is that Ashcroft's book and particularly his claims about Cameron in particular were part of a calculated scheme to guarantee the referendum for Leave.

Personally I blame years and years of poo poo tabloid bile against Europe and the very idea of foreign people existing in general. People didn't like or respect Cameron long before pigfuckgate. Cameron's a loving idiot for promising a referendum he didn't want in order to court UKIP votes and then losing it though. Hoist petard etc.

To relate it to UK TV, I feel that Cameron ought to have had Jeremy Clarkson out for Remain from the moment Boris Johnson said he was behind Leave. It might have been a good countermeasure to Boris. People like Clarkson in the same way they like Johnson ("He's just such a classic legend, mate!").

My favourite part about the whole thing was regardless of whether it happened or not, the general opinion was 'well, that seems like the kind of thing he'd do...'

If you'd told me at the start of the year that David Cameron could possibly have shagged a dead pig and Ian Paisley Jr. would be encouraging people to get Irish passports, the former would definitely have been a lot more believable.

Now that story isn't true, but I think that what it tells us about Cameron is true.

In any event, I bet Clarkson feels a bit silly for not getting more involved now that May and Hammond are in charge of the country.

Charlie Brooker is at his best when channeling his own despair and desperation directly into his work, so his peak was when he wrote for PC Zone.

Sandi Toskvig is an excellent presenter of QI and actually better than Stephen so far. This is my controversial opinion of the day. Rush Limbo fucked around with this message at 23:07 on Oct 23, 2016 |

Joking, he should have stuck with it, it was his best stick and everyone in the UK loves a grumpy complaining bastard. 99% of our comedy is this. Wheat Loaf posted:RIP Jimmy Perry.

Is it just me, or have most of the episodes of Red Dwarf XI so far ended really abruptly? I've not seen Can of Worms yet, but Give & Take is the only one so far that felt like it had a "natural" ending. Taskmaster is amazing, as ever. Al Murray pointing out the morse code with the balloons was brilliant, although I'm sure someone will come along and say that it didn't actually say that in morse code

It's 20 minutes of build up and Kryten explaining the plot, little bit of action, then it's over.
