Satire

Satire is still alive, perhaps nowhere exhibited better than by Bird and Fortune but the Rory Bremner show now seems to have been pulled by the cash-strapped C4. There are of course other examples of TV satire - Have I Got News For You being the best example from the BBC. I try to write some on my on political blog but the trouble is that quite a lot of people take it seriously especially disaffected Tories! Are the times too bad for effective satire? I hope not though the popular old line often occurs to us as we read our newspapers these days :

 ”You wouldn’t believe it if you read it in a book !”
