Before PC. The nation used to vent it's frustrations through this classic British comedy and the character of Alf Garnett who was the most bigoted neo facist patriot we ever produced. His arguments were so uncompelling that it was extremely laughable and yet put both left & right political extremism into sharp focus.
Those of a "certain age" will remember Alf Garnett with affection. It's also worth mentioning to our American friends that the blonde haired guy playing the part of Alf's son-in-law is Anthony Booth, ex pm Tony Blair's wife Cherie's, father. (The one that blew himself up with a petrol bomb trying to kill his wife Cherie's mother)
They've thoughtfull put sub titles on the second clip - even for someone raised in London I have to listen carefully!
Brilliant!
YouTube - Alf goes off on one again about communists and prisons
