Which Tyler Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 So, in news that's being buried by Meghan and Harry (please gods, can we move on from that?) Priti Patel essentially wants to remove our right to peaceful protest, if that protest is annoying - including a clause that looks like it was designed explicitly to ban Steven Bray. But remember - no-one shold ever be cancelled... except the Mash Report, Steven Bray, or BLM This is not something that shold be burried by celebrity gossip. https://www.politics.co.uk/comment/2021/03/11/silencing-black-lives-matter-priti-patels-anti-protest-law/ https://www.theguardian.com/law/2021/mar/11/civil-liberties-groups-call-police-plans-for-demos-an-assault-on-right-to-protest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Gotta say, @DMC, @DanteGabriel and @mormont - I appreciate y'all having the patience to respond to the many ignorant comments by the usual folk re: Meghan's interview and racism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Tyler Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Meanwhile, presumably unrelated to HMG's war of woke / cancel culture; the Mash Report has been cancelled - for embarrassing the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably have been more embarrassing for the government if it had ever managed to raise even a smile from its audience. It really should have been called up to the trading standards for describing itself as a comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was informative too! I posted this one shortly after it came out and it seems just as relevant today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair you aren’t exposed to this show and a lot of the BBCs ‘comedy’ output but describing The Mash Report as left wing political propaganda wouldn’t be far off the mark. The video you posted is pretty representative of what the show is, basically incredibly obvious student comedy designed for people who clearly agree with everything they say. It really is just the lowest hanging fruit they can reach for on every topic. Having said all that , even if I basically despise the show as it’s a symbol of how low the BBC has gone, considering just how good its comedy output used to be, I still don’t think they should cancel it, especially not for political grounds. Let it stay on, continue to embarrass themselves, or at the very least do something to add some level of balance to their ‘jokes’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Sometimes as an organisation we really are on a hiding to nothing. Not allowing the vigil for Sarah Everard is absolutely the right thing to do in the current situation. But we are going to get fucking slated for it, if their court case is not successful. And if they do gather, and we dont ticket them, we are playing politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
