Bird & Fortune vs Prisons

[@Scunthorpesfinest]

Just heard the sad news of John Bird's passing and I had to come here and listen to this. Brilliant, brilliant satire the like of which we rarely see now, possibly because our politicians and business leaders are so ludicrous we only have to let them speak to see how ridiculous they are. If anyone hasn't heard John Bird alongside Stephen Fry in Absolute Power (radio, not the TV version), dig it out.

Fantastic! These two are right on the money, as ever!

4:45 'Hang on, I've seen him somewhere before. It must have been at the, at the erm, barbeque'. OMG I was listening to this while driving and only just managed to pull over. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

Used to have this on cassette and burst out laughing on many a bus over that bit!

RIP John Fortune, great satirist. Loved your comedy

[@class87srule]

Satire of a kind we never hear any more. Biting, perceptive, humorous and incredibly lifelike. These dialogues are priceless reminders of what has been lost. Where is 'The Frost Report', 'Spitting Image' or 'Not the Nine O'Clock News'? Supplanted by anodyne, innocuous, safe comedy that leaves the incompetent, faceless and guilty politicians to blunder along, untramelled by public and witty criticism.

Gentle, intelligent, English humour, will be missed.

ABSOLUTE GENIUS, WHICH SADLY , WILL NEVER BE EQUALLED

[@abrigoadolfo2593]

RIP John Fortune. Commiserations to his family.

[@Stadtpark90]

The audience is just great in this one. Bird and Fortune were probably close to laughing themselves.

[@dewittbourchier7169]

You can tell actually they're both about to burst out laughing.

RIP Comrade Fortune, sadly missed

[@MrDaiseymay]

It's 2019----currently, and you can keep changing the 'Home Secretarys' name, but the prison situation never changes---except, worse.

[@fatwalletboy2]

That was a good one.

[@Soopytwist]

I think my eyes are on pause or something

[@takewhole]

[@MrDaiseymay]

NOT ALLOWED TO. THE COWARDLY BBC E.U 'SOCK CUCKER'S' SWALLOWED THE PC POISON FROM DAY ONE.

[@MrDaiseymay]

THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO, THANKS TO THE COWARDLY BBC AND THEIR LOVE OF THE E.U LED PC LUNACY.

[@MrDaiseymay]
