A new film satirises the absolute state of UK politics. And it’s hilarious. [VIDEO]
A hilarious new film by Bonnie Prince Bob looks back at the last quarter century of British politics and satirises what went wrong. Only much like Armando Iannucci’s Time Trumpet, it does so from the future. A future in which Jeremy Corbyn became PM and replaced Buckingham Palace with some prime location allotments.
Far-flung
You can see the full film here:
Prince Bob paints a perfect, post-Corbyn future that is obviously exaggerated and somewhat ridiculous. The absolute highlight being a description of the moment PM Corbyn captures war-criminal Tony Blair. A photoshop of the scene spoofs President Obama taking out Osama Bin Laden. Except the characters in Corbyn’s operation room include Lieutenant John McDonnell, Ken Loach, and Charlotte Church.
Prince Bob does a great job of making you look at accepted political normality in this country though. And he helps you realise that the most ridiculous thing is actually what we’ve been told is the natural order of things. The billionaires who further themselves at our expense. The crooked politicians who facilitate them. And the hamstrung media who fail to hold either to account.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
