Jon Stewart announced the return of The Daily Show to the UK.


( Must have been that report on the Queen's Jubilee that did it!)

yeah............ Why did they shut that down? Was it Jon's jokes about the queen? Or was it Murdoch's doing?

That probably explains why I've never seen it either.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

We are easily fooled. Just look at the Romney campaign for evidence.

So, it's illegal to praise Parliament in a satirical news show?

I'll let Pete Hogwallop explain my views on this:

I was going to find Chef saying "That doesn't make any goddamn sense" from "Cancelled", but it wasn't on Youtube.

Actually it makes a little more sense than the way it's being portayed. It's nothing to do with regulating what can be said about Parliament in either a satirical or congratulatory context (although I can see how the law might be manipulated toward that end); rather it's all about the use of Parliamentary TV footage to do so. Satire has long been one of our country's greatest freedoms: Hogarth, Punch Magazine, Private Eye, TW3, right up to Spitting Image, Yes Minister, Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week. The laws regarding the use of Parliamentary content were set in place due to the installation of cameras in the Commons and Lords when Parliament was initially televised. I think it's more towards a copyright issue than anything else, and certainly not a freedom of speech thing.
