Britainology 87: The Thick of It

We've heard that any political issue in the United Kingdom is 'just like The Thick of It' and as such we've sought to verify. By watching the 2000s BBC sitcom, or at least one episode of the show, and addressing what it says about British politics? To be honest, it definitely says a lot about Armando Iannucci and the liberal conception of the world. But also: swearing.

supposedly veep was based on the thick of it after the original american version failed

I feel that the reason people get to be really annoying fans of this show is that it offered JUST ENOUGH insight into politics without giving the full picture

They made an American thick of it and Armando said it was utter dogshit.

Someone who attended matches in his dad's box has nothing on someone who gets up at 5:00 A.M. to watch Spurs lose another derby.

Martha Coakley was MA’s Hilary before Hilary, twice! So assured of her layup victory-to-come she lost to Generic Republican numbers 1 and 2.

Milo Edwards will never take away my constitutional right to be an annoying American Tottenham Hotspur fan.
