    Is this the most controversial thing ever said on British TV?

    Just posted this clip in the Youtube section. Perhaps it needs its own thread?

    Telling the truth isn't controversial.

    The Last Leg is just a cheap rip off of Mock the Week with a sprinkling of Have I Got News for You

    Nothing original or controversial as far as I can see

    Aussie or Brit, what's the difference? Now that's controversy...

    Correct

    76 CURRENT mps sitting in westminster are under investigation in an inquiry for raping children. INquiry - not, being question by police or, but an inquiry headed by one of their mates.


    Labour leader Harmen lets not forget lobbied for a pedophile group to get the age of consent dropped to 3 or 4 or something horrendous like that.


    All of both parties have be systematcially trying to push more people into poverty (although of course there is lots of money for murdering foreign civilians in acts of war).

    Whole thing makes me sick, and yet they laugh about it.

    Pretty full on, don't think the Aussie bloke will be getting many more gigs in the UK. Most controversial thing said on TV?
    Has to be Thatcher saying 'there is no such thing as society' that was the era for soundbyte politics though.

    Frankie's joke about the Queen of england and Andy Serkis may be one of the reasons he's not on tv much these days.

    The most controversial thing on British TV?

    Our values

    - Trust is the foundation of the BBC: we are independent, impartial and honest.
    - Audiences are at the heart of everything we do.
    - We take pride in delivering quality and value for money.
    - Creativity is the lifeblood of our organisation.
    - We respect each other and celebrate our diversity so that everyone can give their best.
    - We are one BBC: great things happen when we work together.
    source: BBC values

    That's pretty controversial... according to some people.
    The sinister treatment of dissent at the BBC

    The British Establishment have been protecting its pederasts, perverts and lowlifes for over 60 years and quite successfully too. However, given the change in ethos and the empowerment of the lower classes it is that much more difficult. Nevertheless, they have mounted a rearguard action whereby the perpetrators are only truly exposed until they nearing death or, as in the case of Jannner, demented.

    The clip is simply a somewhat trenchant view of the hypocrisy that still prevails. Not particularly controversial. Leon Brittan, Janner, Cyril Smith, Sir Peter Hayman to name but a few all escaped prosecution. There are many more.

    indeed, but there have been many journalists who have stated that with far more eloquence and to greater effect than that foul mouthed shouter in the you tube clip.

    shouting "fuck" on tv is so yesterday.

    Profanity, like tattoos, faux celebrity and infantilism, is the lingua franca of populist TV after the evening watershed. Well, it was when I was last there. Personally, I thought his commentary was effective, to the point and, given the matter in question, quite apposite. A refreshing counterpoint to the humbuggery one usually hears when the subject of politicians etc fucking little boys and girls is raised.

    Look up lord Greville Janner, my ex mp and serial child abuser. He's been (allegedly) buggering boys for 50 years, Police have had the evidence for over 20 but he got off prosecution because he has 'dementia'. His mental state did not stop him appearing in the lords though, or from claiming money to do so. Pat Hewwit wa my ex Mp as well, same socialist shit hole as Janner. Wrote to her asking about her enormous expenses at the time of the MP fraud cases, said she would explain it shortly. Two weeks later she announced she would not stand again and buggered off with her golden pay off, never did explain the enormous 'expenses'.

    Odd that his dementia never stopped him popping into the House of Lords to claim his daily expenses.

    At least he's got nuts the size of Tasmania to say that... although it could be staged to boost ratings - it did seem like a genuine outburst/rant... dunno

    This happened in the past, the current MP,s are not like that. Don't tar everybody with the same brush.
