    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.

    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 …..

Is the COST OF LIVING KILLING Britain’s birth rate?

Is the cost of living killing Britain’s birth rate?

GB News presenter Miriam Cates is in Brighton to speak to the public about why the UK’s birth rate is plummeting.

Researchers said soaring house prices and shrinking living space were increasingly stopping Britons from having the number of children they actually want. The stark warning comes as Britain’s fertility rate has slumped to a record low of just 1.41 children per woman – far below the level needed to sustain the population.

Experts say the steep decline is altering the age structure of the country, which is threatening long-term economic growth and placing an unsustainable financial burden on public services. At the same time, more than eight in ten Britons say the cost and availability of family homes is making it harder for people to marry and start families, according to the research published by the Family Education Trust.

Nearly three-quarters said the type and size of housing available had a major impact on decisions about having children. And almost two-thirds said improving access to affordable family-sized housing would encourage more people to marry and have children.

Suella Braverman has issued a damning verdict on Andy Burnham’s suggestion that Britain could “go all the way” and rejoin the EU.

Speaking to Katherine Forster, GB News’ Chief Political Correspondent, on Chopper’s Political Podcast, Mrs Braverman said the Prime Minister has “never respected Brexit and he actually wants to undo it”.

She slammed his words as “an affront to democracy” and “a slap in the face to British patriots”.
