Don't make excuses for them.

Sorry, very patronising of me. Get in tune you deaf little fuckers!

 

[DexterTCN]

nice one...promote the NHS...little subversiveness from boyle

 

[prunus]

OK, I'm well down with this bit. Fuck you Mitt Romney

 

[krtek a houby]

This is quite good and its not because my meds are working, either

 

[mrs quoad]

Are we going to witness a dramatisation of the NHS being fucking privatised?

Next skit is a celebration of TUPE,

 

[Badgers]

Good NHS stuff

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Whenever the armed forces come out for anything, on any entertainment show or whatever, I always think it's crap. That's not even taking into account my politics etc.

They're good at the Royal Tournament though (except it's no more)

 

[Barking_Mad]

Oh dear. WTF? NHS in lights?! LOL

I bet Cameron pops up from under a bed and murders a few kids

 

[elbows]

How many kids out there now want a trampoline bed?

 

[editor]

NHS. Fuck yes!

The Singling Detective, minus the vaseline.

Does that mean Joanne Whalley will be along shortly? I do hope so.

 

[prunus]

I've found this for you

Thanks

Free advertising for the NHS, encourage johhny foreigner to stay with free healthcare!

 

[twentythreedom]

Those patients look suspiciously chipper

 

[free spirit]

take that Yanks - we're pinko commie bastards with our NHS, and we're going to shove it up your nose at the olympics for the lulz

to a kid...all beds are tramapolines

 

[story]

Loads of foreign viewers must be thinking wtf?

I'm assuming the foreign commentators will have been furnished with footnotes and liner notes and interpretations to read out to their Tellyland denizens.

 

[Jon-of-arc]

I'd love it if that "NHS" sign had morphed into a big "ATOS" logo, or something else satirical.

 

[Fez909]

This is very odd, but I'm glad. Fuck the corporate sponsors, we're gonna celebrate our state owned services!

 

[starfish]

With Mike Oldfield?!

Unfortunately Benny Hill is dead.

 

[Espresso]

How many kids out there now want a trampoline bed?

ME!
Mind, I'm 45.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Loads of foreign viewers must be thinking wtf?

They'll have their Hugh/Hazel equivalents to explain it, just like we do when it's in China or wherever.

To be fair, at least they're obviously fucking nurses or builders or whatever. Normally with these things it's amorphous blobs intended to represent "hope" or "unity" or some such bollocks.

 

[scooter]

Whats the link between the NHS and the olympics ???

 

[elbows]

to a kid...all beds are tramapolines

Yeah but you can never have too much bounce.

 

[Lord Camomile]

About to get a bit weird again...

 

[Corax]

Are Care UK or Circle going to get a segment?

From today's news:

NHS spends £900,000 on private ambulances in London during Olympics

 

[Boppity]

Nicely crammed. Fnarr fnarr.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Whats the link between the NHS and the olympics ???

Best of British innit

 

[mrs quoad]

Erm.

The child catcher?
