It is indeed pathetic. Murton and Hislop so far past their sell by dates that they are growing mould.

Has HIGNFY now gone past being funny to become truly offensive?

Just watching this evening's episode and cannot believe that such offensive remarks about a member of the public, ie Gillian Duffy, were allowed to be broadcast.

Some of the guest panellists go beyond what is amusing and poking fun at politics and people in the news to making totally unacceptable remarks, thinking they are clever and edgy. They are neither, nor are they funny. Using some of the language they do just past the watershed is questionable as well.

It is also loaded with nasty innuendo and jokes against one particular political party (and no, I am not a supporter!) - you can guess which one of course.

Is HIGNFY typical of the 'supposedly unbiased' BBC funded by us the licence payer? Should the programme and indeed the BBC itself be allowed to continue in its present form, seemingly unaccountable to those who fund it?
