i love it, an amazing TV show that took the piss out of everyone, cheffs, sportsman, political figures, quiz hosts, any charecter with enough personality to be put into puppet form. yet as soon as it makes fun of an american political figure its suddenly a socialist rebellion! its just a TV show, just have a laugh at it, go onto the videos of brittish politicians, watch ducks being blown over by the wind, i dont care. just stop getting so angry over a tv show, its pathetic, learn to laugh

It's funny because the U.K. also invaded Iraq... Both times...

This is good.

@sndblstr It's a tv show for the love of god. It made fun of those in power and pointed out their hypocrisies, double standards and so on. Just happened the people in power were who they were, rather than who you would have preferred for them to make fun of. Nothing anti- American here either. Adults can deal with criticism w/o reacting like a chastised child whose feelings have been bruised.

Thank you for a hugely refreshing comment. I literally agree with everything you've said, so let's just leave it there. :)

@sndblstr Bit of a sweeping generalisation there mate :p Right wingers were just more entertaining back in the 80's in comparasion to dour left wingers. You should watch the News at Benn sketch they did, basically mocked everything wrong with labour in the 80's. And they hated Tony Blair too.
Comedy is done for comedies sake. It's not there to please one particular group :)

@TwoBlumen, you are wrong. While this show might have made fun of Labour personalities, it never challenged the socialist ideology. It was clear this show had zero ideological balance.

@AlexB1001, this Spitting Image show was sometimes stridently anti-US. How sad that the show skewed its commentary/satire in favor of socialism and AGAINST western democratic capitalism. There was no ideological balance on this left-leaning show. In hindsight, especially given what's happening with the eurozone and the Euro, it seems Thatcher & the conservatives were right all along about so much. Anyway, would have been better if the show hadn't had such a left-leaning, pro-socialist agenda.

now this is satire. sucks it wasn't around when w was pres and murdered all those iraqis for oil.

This is George Bush senior, spitting image was not on television during the junior era, mores the pity. It was wonderful satire, and was on the money every time.
What's really sad is that this is all true.
