@adhdeanasl I don’t know Linger by the Cranberries, is it anything like this?
Odd little snippit just popped up.
Many years ago (1980s?) I saw or heard a Not The Nine o'Clock News sketch where a government minister was being interviewed.
It went something like this:
Minister: We're reducing taxes on cigarettes, alcohol, and fuel.
Interviewer: And how are you going to pay for this?
Minister: We're introducing a 100% tax on crutches, wheelchairs, white sticks, hearing aids, and diarrhea medicine.
Interviewer: So you're targeting those least able to fight back?
Minister: Exactly.
Do any of you know where I could find a copy?
Please #boost.
"Constable Savage" a comedy sketch from almost the dawn of time (when I was born) and the excuses still haven't changed in 40+ years
"Scary Black man, scary! I just had to beat him, had to!"
😡

Sergeant: Savage, why do you keep arresting this man?Constable Savage: He's a villain, sir.Sergeant: ...A villain.Constable Savage: And a jailbird, sir.Serge...

And another #NotTheNineOClockNews sketch:
I think the fact that BBC2 could “get away with" this shows how endemic bigotry was at the time.
