    I'd like a series of stamps about Rik Mayall.
    Forget the rest of 'em.
    RIP Rik.

    I know, I've ordered the first day cover. Great series, great stamps. A time when wet yourself comedy still existed on the BBC. How times have changed. Can you imagine the BBC having a character like Flash today and lines like ' I wouldn't want 500 girls to kill themselves, not when they could be sitting on my face". The world and Britain is so much poorer for it. As dear old Rik said, love really is the answer. RIP. A truly great guy.

    Pity we stopped making decent comedy about 20 years ago.

    I recommend the full script in book form. The joke density is immense.

    All blackadder did was insult comedy which is fine but it's terribly dated and best left in the 80s

    If Ed Davey ever gets fed up with being the LibDem leader,he could always play Captain Darling,his spitting image,in the remake.

    Rubbish. The best sitcom ever made was Home to Roost with John Thaw and that ginger chap. ITV3 wouldn't be the same without it. Oh, the chuckles. Either that or the one where Inspector Frost falls through the bar. Or the 'I don't believe it' fellow, with the pot plant in his shithouse.

    If a new series were to be made today all the main roles would be played by blick people…with the possible exception of Baldrick because he was portrayed as a fool …..

Andy Burnham reacts to DEVASTATING Stourbridge fires as homes GUTTED: “Never seen anything like it”

Published

By



Andy Burnham has visited families in Stourbridge after seeing the scenes of houses devastated by fires.

The Prime Minister outlined his plans to support those affected by the destruction, as he issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbecue.

The ban comes into force today.

Speaking about the fires in Stourbridge, he said: “I’ve never seen anything like it. I mean, I dealt with wildfires in Greater Manchester, but nothing on this scale. I’ve never seen scenes like this in Britain, where you just see a whole house gutted, smouldering.

“And I met one of the families whose house had gone up in that in that way, so you can imagine how distressing that is for for them, and you feel for them and their kids, and not to go elsewhere.

“You know, it’s just unbelievably devastating for people in this in this position. So that’s why I’m here. I just wanted to show that, you know, we’re on the ground.

“We understand how difficult this is for everybody, and we will put in place the support to help people get back to where they should be as soon as possible.”

We now live in GASLIT BRITAIN

Published

on

By



Mark Littlewood says “we now live in gaslit Britain” after it emerged the Home Office published a guide for illegal migrants on how “not to rape women”.

It is just one of the resources available in a collection titled: “Understanding behaviours and expectations in the UK: a guide for asylum seekers”.

Posters and information on rape, the age of consent and child abuse are among the guides to help asylum seekers “understand what is expected when living in the UK”.

The guidance highlights child rape is illegal “even if they look older” or if “it is allowed in another country”.

Speaking to Patrick Christys on GB News, political commentator Mark Littlewood said: “This pamphlet is extraordinary. And the reason I find it so extraordinary and disturbing is if you need that pamphlet, I don’t want you anywhere near my country.”

A Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “We expect everyone who comes to the UK to abide by our laws.

“If they do not, they will face consequences, including the refusal of their asylum claim and removal from the UK.

“Returns of failed asylum seekers have reached their highest level since 2010 under this Government.”
