    It is a miracle that Private Eye has survived for all these years of controversy, shenanigans, and attacks by their massively wealthy targets. Clearly God loves Private Eye. And so do I.

      Private Eye is an establishment approved “controversial” paper were as truly independent newspapers like the
      ‘The Light Paper’ which challenges and gives a more honest, truthful, alternative version of all the establishment narratives pushed on the UK’s general public has been under attack with multiple hit pieces carried out by the BBC and their top Stazi agent Mariana Spring who’s goal is to demonize and censor alternative news outlets and with help from the government force legal action and arrests against journalists like Richard D Hall who was arrested this year simply for giving an alternative versions of events to the news stories that we are constantly told to believe are real but are really made up bulls**t to manipulate the general public into thinking a certain way to make it easier to push their agendas.
      The Private Eye with its crappy jokes poses no threat to the establishment because in todays world you can mock but never truly challenge the establishment and it’s Mainstream Media

So many delightful vignettes: Lewis McLeod’s Boris Johnson, Harry Enfield’s King Charles and the lovely Jan Raven’s Liz Truss and Esther McVey had me in kinks. Thank you Private Eye.

    The impressions and details are spot on. I strongly believe that Ian Hislop deserves an recognition for the passionate way in which he fights for truth and to better the outcomes of government functioning. Especially to the degree he is faced with the consequences from the powerful (rich and thus controlling of puppets in government) which unfortunately is the risk of being sued. Yet the desire he has to get to the truth and subsequent frustration in those who act in terrible ways mean his efforts are significant.

    Of course the Private Eye and the BBC had been covering the story not long after Computer Weekly brought it to light.

    There are very few things I treasure from the UK since I left in 1968 (yes I am an old git) but Private Eye heads the list 'Punch being a close second but I am not sure this even exists any more?)
    Pubs came next but from what I read, I don't think I could even go into one now!
    The Britain I was born into and grew up in as a working class oik seems to have vanished?
    I was talking to some old friends the other day (mostly Old Gits like me) and a selection of what we hold dear are TV shows like Only Fools and Horses, Yes Minister and Yes Prime MInister, Allo Allo, It ain't half Hot Mum, Are you being served?, Minder, Duchess of Duke Street, Birds of a Feather, Dad's Army, Upstairs Downstairs,.
    Happily I have made a collection of all of these PLUS The BBC Theatre Presentations (especially Dickens).
    I don't see anything remotely as entertaining as these anywhere these days.
    I have been lucky enough to live through these, and note I have gone over the fantastic radio series of the immediate post-war days.

      IIRC Thatcher regarded 'Yes (Prime) Minister' as a documentary with jokes, & even appeared as a cameo in an Xmas special despite most of the jokes being very much against her government :) Still one of the funniest & most satirical shows I've ever seen, closely followed by Rory Bremner, John Bird & Ian Fortune's collab in the 90s & ofc Spitting Image (on which Harry Enfield & Jan Ravens did some great voice acting for)

    I disagree with most of Ians politics, but i respect him and will always be interested in what he has to say. He is highly intelligent and extremely engaging.

    Jan Ravens' Liz Truss impression will still be remembered long after the real Liz Truss.
    Shame Diane Abbott hasn't been in the news this year.
