‘You Hate Britain!’ – the satirists get their teeth into the Daily Mail
The debate about the Daily Mail and its attacks on Ed Miliband (via his father Ralph) and now Mehdi Hasan has been getting a bit serious, hasn’t it?
What a good thing we in Britain are fortunate enough to have a grand tradition of satirical comedy, practised by people for whom nobody is a ‘Sacred Cow’ and anything is a candidate to be turned into a spitroast and hung over a barbecue.
This clip is from The Now Show and features the songwriting skills of the ever-melodic Mitch Benn.
If anyone else finds material that’s worth a chuckle and thinks it should appear on this site, please send it in.
We could all do with a good laugh.
