Oh the Major! What a sweet racist he is... It's not even so-called 'casual' racism/xenophobia - got a bit of an edge to it, honed over a lifetime of lording it over the 'natives'. It's a brave subject to tackle in a comedy, but this pulls it off. Vote Og.

Are there more head injuries per square metre in FT than in any other comedy? |

Talking of mentioning the war, have you seen those cretins dressed as Crusaders who have gone out to Qatar for the World Cup? Makes you weep. |
