Where did you find this clip? I’ve been looking for those old ones for a long time. I joined Britbox because they were advertising the old Spitting Image shows, but they were taken off - to spare Rishi and Boris their blushes no doubt.

That was when the BBC reported facts, about everyone. 14 years of right wing government saw the taking over of the corporation by right wing DGs and other important roles. Tories ruin everything for their own vile ends.

Spitting image was ITV. You’re not wrong though. Still doubt the beeb would have ever dared running spitting image. It’s a shame the reboot didn’t last.

annie5545.bsky.social•80 days ago

Gosh yes. I would love to see them all again.

@bexby.bsky.social I’ve repeatedly told you how good #spittingimage used to be.

Antisemitism is a thing & mustn't be tolerated (like all racism) but it's been absolutely weaponised by the Israeli gov, to provide cover for their unchecked atrocities & oppression on others.

In so doing, they also do a huge disservice to & denigrate the real awfulness of their own past suffering.

I get disgusted by every country commiting such crimes. Call it what you will.

Israel exists because of antisemitism, or are you not familiar with the Balfour declaration?

They had a choice in the 40's to not become what they most despised & they chose to become Nazis.

Thanks to them, the word is now meaningless. And I hear their war crimes have emboldened ACTUAL antisemites- i.e., their new friends in the western far right who suddenly care about Jewish people whenever Palestinians get mentioned.

They tried to tell US.

The original series was so good the way it presented them and of course “I’ve never met a nice South African”

I'd never seen this before wow.

Sheltered upbringing. A must viewing in Britain and Ireland if you had cable.
Hilarious. Not one politician spared.

dom-bnr.bsky.social•80 days ago

Oh I saw plenty of spiting Image in early 90's, just not this. What a great show for exposing politicians in the UK. Yes very funny. This is an amazing clip!

brobof.bsky.social•80 days ago

Classic

bicerin.bsky.social•81 days ago

That last question 🤣

judeet44.bsky.social•81 days ago

I actually remember seeing it first time around....and sniggering, with a dollop of disgust on the side.

laixkhan.bsky.social•81 days ago

Whether we can ‘speak about’ the Zionist colony camping on Palestinian soil , or not, does not alter the Facts they are a sadistic bunch of killers. The AngloWestern Alliance may block the truth, but Zionist war crimes culminating in Palestinian Genocide are Fact! Human Decency See the Truth🇵🇸💪🏼

In 2002, I was removed from my middle school Social Studies class for cheering on Palestinians throwing rocks at a tank in a story on our daily Channel One News broadcast.
