@Orwell_Fan What was that 1980s civil service one Simon? You know, the catchphrase was "Good moaning, I have some bod nose!" They're certainly having some bod nose today!

@TaffGoose haha yeah, the policeman with a speech impediment. You wouldn't get away with that these days!

@Orwell_Fan Simon what do you make of this?

@danhancox I'll tell you who is "In the Thick of It". Mr Green, with my lawyers.

@Orwell_Fan Hedges doing his @NormalPoliticsGuy thing.

@Orwell_Fan @huwlemmey No - it’s too far-fetched. Nobody would think it credible

@Orwell_Fan This is just like House of Cards!

@Orwell_Fan Except no-one's laughing.

@Orwell_Fan I love comedy - Only Fools and the Horses, Blackadders, An Office, Some Mothers Do Have Them, Rob C Nesbitt ect ect, but I find satirical comedies like In The Thick of It and Dropped the Dead Donkey a bit dry.

@Orwell_Fan I can just imagine it!! "Nicola (Priti) fucking Murray (Patel)"!!

@Orwell_Fan @mrdavidwhitley Quiet Battery People. Hilarious.

@Orwell_Fan Hedgie you've bloody nailed it!

@Orwell_Fan @mattzarb It’s too weird even for those script writers ..

@Orwell_Fan Without the jokes.

@Orwell_Fan @kieran_hurley Just not as well written.

@Orwell_Fan Thick of It 2: The Thickening

@Orwell_Fan It’s hard to tell what’s a parody and what’s real life these days.
