    The BBC admired the King’s Speech. I wonder why? Here’s a clue –

    ā€œWe will miss the window of opportunity to reset for a Green recovery and a more inclusive futureā€

    ā€œAt this stage, I can see no other option but to call for a ā€˜Marshall like approach’ to people, nature and the planetā€

    ā€œThe Global pandemic is a wake up call we simply can’t ignoreā€

    ā€œClimate change is now becoming an unprecedented catastrophe, which would dwarf the damage of the pandemicā€

      I don’t think his mum would have been proud of him…

      I missed it all anyway, there’s a more important need for some sanity and enjoyment with the family at Christmas, and this new sort of beeboid-lite, soft left PR doesn’t actually help the country.

      Comments this morning were discussing the fact that he should be putting British Citizens first, but somehow that doesn’t seem to be the case any more.

    I bet the Donald has had enough of that clown. Surely it would suit the interests of the US for the ReichEU to take on the whole Ukraine thing at last .. and could give an excuse to end NATO …. Oncd upon a time that Articld 5 looked like a good thing – but what European NATO members are becoming – it looks very dangerous ….

    Usually I check first on comment progress, but this looks like a Boxing Day bonus…

    What did you think of the Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas special?

      Love the comment about the lawnmower – rumours that the bBC have brought in a new department, ‘Drosswatch’ are unfounded…

      I always liked the earlier Private Eye ‘Colemanballs’ section, there were some real gems back then, but I think they dropped that idea when it all became too real, and Lord Bishop Cardinal Hislop chopped it!

        Scroblene
        I’m an 85 year old fart and for 25 years (1972/1997) I subscribed to and was an avid reader of Private Eye magazine and looked foreward to every copy posted through my lettertbox.
        Back then the Mag took the piss out of everyone, regardless of colour or creed,or political persuasion.
        They mercilessly mocked Enoch Powell MP, Harold Wilson PM , Edward Heath PM and I loved it!
        I am waiting (in vain}for Private Eye to take the piss out of some sort of foreign doctrine named ISLAM.
        So come on Mr Hislop do your stuff. Who knows? Maybe I will renew my subscription.
        On the other hand you are more likely to send round your Leftie BBC mob to sort me out.

          Personally I liked Punch! better, but think I might be in the minority here.

            I remember many editions of Punch in the dentist’s waiting room in my youth. It’s difficult to enjoy a magazine when you can hear a drill buzzing in the room next door.
