Freakcity

My breasts abound...

<<Stephen Hello. Welcome to “A Bit Of Fry And Laurie”.

Hugh Grrrrr.

Stephen Ladies and gentlemen, because Hugh and I are

known for our anger, our satirical rage at the

“human condition”, for want of a better cliche ....

Hugh Grrrr ...

Stephen We often get accused of lacking a sense of

proportion. Here’s a letter ... “It’s very easy to

knock, to rage and snarl and satirise, but what

are you suggesting should go in the place of the

institutions and people you so viciously decry?”

This is a typical letter from Mr Alan Dense,

absolutely typical. He writes letters like this all the

time ... “It’s oh so simple to knock Mrs Thatcher,

isn’t it?” Well of course he’s quite right. It is

ludicrously easy to knock Mrs Thatcher. It’s the

easiest and most obvious thing in the world to

remark that she is a shameful, putrid scab, an

embarrassing, ludicrous monstrosity that makes

one frankly ashamed to be British, and that her

ideas and standards are a stain on our national

history. That’s easy and clear, anyone can do that.

But after tonight, no one can accuse us of not

making a constructive suggestion as to what might

go in place of Mrs Thatcher. Hugh.

Hugh holds up a wire coathanger.

That is our constructive suggestion, and I hope

that’s silenced some of our critics. Anyway, on with

the blind, unreasoning rage.>>
