Only the most hardline and/or stupid Tories and Brexiteers will believe or want to believe this bullshit.

I think this will backfire for May; most people will see it for the cynical ploy that it is.

I remember when there used to be decent UK political satire.
They would have a field day with the current UK politics.

The media is so heavily controlled that it looks like it's all been shut down.
It's a shame.

Frankie Boyle’s New World Order is about the only thing approaching decent political satire and that will appeal to a limited audience.  HIGNFY is crap.

Not a patch on Seth Myers, Steven Colbert and John Oliver.

SAD.

The Daily Mash TV show has some half decent satire too but not in the league of Brass Eye.

I tried watching the Daily Mash and thought it was awful.  It seemed like it was trying to copy a US format and failing miserably.

In line with most other Holyrood polls. Challenge for the Tories - which I predict 80% of us here on P and B hope they don't step up to - is breaking through the late 20s... probably dependant on how weel Labour do.

According to the latest Ashcroft poll.....If they had to choose , 78% of Tory Leave voters would rather leave the EU than continue with the Union.

I saw that too.  Maybe the tactic for Independence is pissing of everyone in the country and then calling for a U.K. wide vote.

 

I will happily volunteer my services for the first part.

Seen Jim Jefferies (think on Comedy Central) a couple of times in the last month, quite enjoying this.
