Not Thoth Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I found Boris a bit disappointing. They've somehow managed to make the puppet LESS of a caricature than the real Boris. Dominic Cummings as a baby eating alien was surprising though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizsia Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Just remember, they are giving you little hints about who are the real puppets.. You think these television programs can take the piss if in the real world is was not true to begin with.. Its the same when you post on facebook and they decide to not censor it, because they admit its the truth.. But i wont be watching tv..

Macnamara Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 politicians are indeed puppets pushed out into the limelight to hide the money men behind them who pull their strings the public boo and hiss at the puppets but never notice the people lurking behind them as a politician becomes too unbareable to the public they simply step down and another asshole takes their place to become the publics new hate figure laugh at them, swear at them, vote them in and out...won't change a thing because they are only the middle managers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishy Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 You don't need to use a VPN. Not sure if I'm allowed to link (don't want to get the forum in trouble!) If you search for it on DuckDuckGo you'll find it. I thought it was pretty good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritBox is a joint venture between the BBC and ITV - it is available by subscription (paid for) yet features many old shows which UK TV licence payers have helped to contribute towards. Granted, this new Spitting Image series is of course 'new' and exclusive to BritBox, so I don't know exactly how it was funded. But my point is that people in the UK have to pay for a subscription to BritBox in order to watch this (legally), while it is 'free-to-view' on YouTube for people elsewhere. And my other point is that why should any UK licence-payer have to pay for an extra subscription in order to watch old BBC and ITV programmes?

Macnamara Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) Its all distraction It's to make you see people like boris as buffoons. He isn't. He's a very dangerous individual who is moving this country into a totalitarian dictatorship Spitting image is there as a release valve to get you to release your frustration as laughter while they make you think these guys aren't really harmful, after all if they can mock them on TV then how powerful can they be right? This makes you think you are living in a country where there is freedom of speech Its a clever trick but it will NEVER get to the core issues....NEVER because its there to hide them behind nonsense Your TV is there to brainwash you Edited October 9, 2020 by Macnamara 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mishy Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The second episode isn't as funny as the first imo. It's already up online if you have a search on DuckDuckGo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HistoryIsComplex Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 It's Spitting Image's own Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCov3Uxwgh6Fq_2F7oW9-hA Outside the UK, Episode 1 & 2 are fully uploaded to Youtube - to get American viewers on board probably.

I see both Episode 1 and 2 in full on that channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
