Did you not read what I posted?

They were working for the Nazi war effort for 2 years.

Lol. Comedy gold!

It was indeed, great show.

And the writers weren't ridiculing Fletch or people like Fletch so you were talking balls.

European royalty and the aristocracy shyte themelves following the russian revolution .

The first world war had more than a mandate on protecting royalty and world war 2 was a consequence of the first .

Don't see what that has got to do with it.

He may have tried to but he didn't.

The Communist Party of Great Britain spread propaganda against the war leaders, got bomber production stopped, spread disaffection in the ranks of all three services, they put a serious dent in the war effort.

Only after their beloved USSR was invaded did they get behind the war effort, two years into the war, and by then it could have been too late.

The comment you made from Fletch was of its time and as you know was akin to Garnett.I think the intentions of the writers of Porridge and the character of Fletch were quite different to those behind Garnett but those comments were from the same comedy time, one thankfully passed for many of us. But not you obviously.

So you don't watch Porridge because it's not PC enough for you?

The americans also aided nazi germany too selling them Henry Ford engines and additives to use in their fuel .

I loved it. Its great writing and Fletch, as Garnett, is a brilliant comedy character. But I wouldn't quote either character, as you did, as any kind of social comment by the writers as a criticism of London. I think the writers would be horrified that in 2019,people would quote those views in all seriousness. It was social satire. Good grief.

The irony of it is that the likes of Grist and Gfire never challenge Nazi view points..So who knows whos side they would have been on in WW2.

Which nazi view points are they then Roly??

A skylight in hitler’s bunker?
