Meh. This is a silly reading of the show. Good writing is good precisely because it tends to break out of any ideological objectives the author has. If it doesn’t it is a literary failure like Ayn Rand. YPM is satire first, ideology second, and propaganda only to the paranoid.

I lived in London 96-06 and was planning to binge re-watching some of that for Xmas but fuck if I’m even gonna do “The New Stateman” now. I’m never very optimistic about human nature but was expecting a hung parliament...Who knows maybe we’ll get a bunch of good shows out of this

I never watched The Thick of It at the time. Tried starting it a few months ago and it made me angry and nauseous so I stopped 😊 Yes, Minister would probably still be ok

The Thick of It doesn’t feel so old yet. It was always kind of hard to watch and still is: it’s dreadful, but it’s dreadful in a very funny way.
