John Oliver might well be funny, but not as hilarious as Bill English’s impersonation of a Prime Minister.

Sorry , Richard , but each to his own ,…

I love English humour and wit , – often times its not the things they say , –
its how they say it , …. or even the things they don’t say …Oliver has me in fits of laughter every time I watch it.

Think back to the days of the Goodies mocking the English establishment , – or Monty Python just mocking everything , or Blackadder , Dick Emery , Not the nine o’clock news, it goes on and on and on – they have a long tradition of being razor sharp , irreverent and witty.

In reply to Richard Christie. John Oliver is all kinds of hilarious. I could agree with Bill English in the narrow sense, however, that Oliver's latest offering on National's copyright travails is far from his best work and, in fact, not terribly funny at all.

The whole National Government is ‘a bit of a joke’ – but so far the jokes on us.

In reply to Richard Christie. Sorry but you sound patronising.

Most importantly:
“Fuck the National Party”

Yeah, for once, I wholeheartedly AGREE!

I think the musical taste of National — if you are prepared to call that MNM and MNMesque stuff “music” — would be a reason not to vote for them.
