[ExI] politics on exi

[spike at rainier66.com]

Over the years we have debated the merits of politics on ExI, but when it
shows up, it is almost always USA politics.  So I asked myself: what does
that look like from the POV of those outside our national bubble?  Perhaps I
could find out by DuckDuckGoing about, asking for politically incorrect
humor from outside the USA.  Since I speak only American, and the Brits do a
passable job of speaking the only language I understand, I specified outside
the USA for the search engine I used (DuckDuckGo.)

 

The internet offered this link below, which calls out what I think are
British political parties.  To my ear, labor = hard work, or what women do
when giving birth, but from my vacationing in the British Isles summer of
24, it might be they are referring to one of their political parties (oh we
had a nuclear BLAST over there (such fun (it's where the Beatles started!
(and they have marvelous food (loved all of that (except that black sausage
in Ireland (oh mercy (that one dish brought the rest of it down to a B
average if there is a way to assign a GPA to food (but if you leave that
awful black sausage untouched on the plate, British food was up near 4.0
(waaaay the heck better than the 2.5 GPA French cuisine in my opinion (never
did see the proverbial tea and crumpets however (Brits, where does a
visiting Yank find tea and crumpets please?)))))))

 

It is entirely possible that the link below is politically incorrect British
humor, but it is as funny as Monte Python here.  Perhaps Max or BillK know,
but if there are any sacred cows being slain in this video, I can honestly
use the Sgt. Schultz defense, for I know nossink.  I am innocent, I tells
ye!

 

I don't understand all the words, and definitely not the point of view, but
it made me laugh anyway.  For those outside the USA, perhaps this is what
our US political commentary sounds like, only here it is grownups rather
than babies, with far less hilarity:
