Yes, I'm sure fraud will be up after his comments. He is such a role model and influencer of the criminal underclass.
Yes because that's definitely the point I was making.
And love Danny Baker.

I'm not a massive fan of Mitchell, but I thought he did alright.
"no direction" was probably the best joke, ignore by the "it's all left-wing bias" mob obviously.
Oh well. I guess one person's meat is another person's poison. I'd put the talentless irritant in the same category as J Clarkson, unwatchable.
Oh dear - have even well known common sayings got to be PC-ised now?
Come one, you just know if the poster had used the term 'man', he would have been crucified by the PC brigade. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I thought it was a great ep - it's the only real political satire show left these days and has not been bettered in all these years, thanks to the heroic efforts of Hislop and Merton.
David Mitchell is the ideal host for this too imo. :cool:
Modified to include BR (note gender).
It says a lot about Danny Baker that he thinks it is perfectly acceptable to sign-on for unemployment benefit and then go off to earn money on the side.
Thoroughly enjoyed it. Best bits; the Gove and Daily Mail refrerences...but then I'm a BBC-liking lefty tw*t.
Other newspaper owners and editors might worry about receiving similar treatment, I am sure there are many things they might like to keep quiet.
Don't forget that the most corrupt newspaper owner in living memory was very firmly linked to the Left, I think there are still a few in the higher echelons of the Labour with links.
Apparently despite all the fuss from the Left not a single advertiser has withdrawn from advertising in the Daily Mail.
The Danny Baker comment shows the importance of applying intelligent, critical thought to comments. He was pointing out the scams that used to happen and I don't remember him condoning it. In fact he was saying that there were painters and decorators coming in on their overalls and signing on. The problem was with the system.
The most telling point was how the C4 woman celebrated winning. Did you see Hislop's slightly funny look to Merton about it?
A decent return helped by the gift of the Mail's blundering.
It was Paul who said about the blokes in their overalls coming in to sign on, this was when he worked at the employment office
Not quite sure what you mean by 'annoying' but imo that's often when he's at his best! An irritable old sod competing with Merton for the best jibes etc. I've always found Hislop's satirical outlook matches my own.
Hmmmm......maybe i'm an 'irritable old sod' too?
Good to see it back though and can't believe it was over twenty years ago when i first saw it. :eek:
Hislop becomes annoying IMO when he starts putting forward his own political view seriously rather than treating the show as satire. Probably might not annoy if our political views were at all similar, but there you go.
Talentless? Danny Baker may not always come across well on TV but he is one of the most talented radio broadcasters of the last 30 years.
Forget that! What was with her doing the Gangnam Style on Ch4 News?! I was cringing with embarassment, it was SO bad i couldn't even laugh at it!
