Anyone remember the t.v. show House? House was a doctor who was famous for his diagnostic skills (and his obnoxious, acerbic personality). Well, House Star Hugh Laurie has a diagnosis that is spot on - and gotten him into a world of trouble with the wokeratti.

Seems Laurie is not just a great actor (which he is) but also a guy who knows his posterior from a hole in the ground.

And that just barely; Laurie is in fact a Labourite, not a Tory and certainly not a Reform party guy (he's from Britain and was educated at Cambridge). But he's not an idiot, apparently.

Good to know!

I have a copy of the House series and think I'll pop that in; should kill many hours which would otherwise be wasted on commercial t.v.

Speaking of t.v. and British folk, I found a channel on Zumo that is nothing but classic Dr. Who. It's nice; I can turn on Dr. Who any time I like! Dr. Who was on from 1963 until 1989 when the BBC canceled it. With a change in administration at the British network the show came back in 2005, after a first, unsuccessful attempt to resurrect it in 1996 with a made-for-television movie that apparently flopped.

The new show was excellent if a bit liberal, but it has become both increasingly gay and increasingly trans. They turned the Doctor into a woman, then into a gay black man. Viewership has seriously declined in recent years as a result. I suspect it will eventually get cancelled when everybody quits watching, although the Leftist BBC will no doubt hang on as long as they can.

BTW The show made a hard gay turn when Disney got involved with it. It's now a partnership between the BBC and Disney.

The show is currently in a hiatus.
