Presenter said advisor’s press conference was ‘utter twoddle’

The latest instalment of the comedy quiz show included a monologue from Hislop about Boris Johnson’s chief advisor and his rather loose interpretation of lockdown rules.

Praised by whom? A bunch of raving lefties? Hardly going to bother Dom - or anyone else.

I remember Hislop making a misogynist joke on the show, a while ago, about Rebecca Loos masterbating a pig. Struck me as ironic since his wife's been doing that since they got married in 1988.

Suprised was allowed to do that. Seeing has most pollitcal satire is only spat at other partys. Seeing has the BBC usually says how high you want us to jump Borris when you click your fingers.

Hislop was once erudite and funny. Now just tired and plump

Still peddling this shit

Is Rosie Dufffield going to be in his sights next week? Breaking lockdown rules for a shag must have some satire mileage.

Classic. No better man than IanHislop to speak on behalf of the sane minded people of the UK.

Just signed up to PrivateEyeNews 12 month subscription in part because of this cutting rant. Loving Mr Hislop’s work on this. SackDom

Emily Maitlis!

I saw the show, and he didn't. Predictable, and frankly old hat. The man is losing his touch.

KGBunny It was a pleasure to watch

Good as this bastard has ruined my life

Stephen Kinnock literally tweeted the fact that he travelled from South Wales to London to see his parents. This was during the peak, where was the outrage? What’s Labour going to do... probably nothing!! BorisJohnson Keir_Starmer IanHislop1

What is the most disgusting HIGNFY or the the majority of the public support Dominic Cummings and Brexit, ScumMedia support 6 chins Hislop. Cancel your TV license, do NOT buy the leftie Independent rag.

So many snowflakey responses on this thread, have you noticed? Where is their sense of humour? you'd think they were against FreeSpeech by the way they are all 'blah blah he's a remainer' 'boo hoo he not funny'. Bless them 🤣

National Treasure 👏 was so funny. Love Hislop, very clever HIGNFY

He’s a tory who wants the government to continue. They’re going down in the polls because of DominicCummings

A true journalist

edge_nina

Fan of hignfy but JoeP should be terrified of events and decisions. Terrified. But laughing at the terror in our brilliant humorous way dilutes it and makes it easier for us and for things to stay the same for them. There, I've said it. Us and Them Anyways - McDonalds is open!

Brilliant, so we should now get governed by media and their opinions. Imho, they can f*** right off!

My god!!! What’s happened to Hislop’s face?

His finest hour! Well, half hour, then. The programme was hilarious - as it should be, despite the crap lockdown limitations - but deadly, too. More power to his elbow, knees et al. (some terrible saddoes with no humour on this thread, by the way)

Happy retirement from hignfy Ian. We have enjoyed 30 yrs of your satire. Any words of wisdom for your replacement, Katie Razzall? CumGate NotMovingOn

What is Ian Hislop's record on vaccines?

That’s because he’s pro-Establishment. Does he lives in the Home Counties too?

It was absolute drivel, as all it was doing was repeating what had been said all week.

UKDemockery I don’t think I’ll be praising Mr Hislop, all those snide remarks and cheap jokes at the expense of the Labour Party were a tremendous help to the totally incompetent government we have now. Just an opportunist seeking attention.

UKDemockery Except he wasn't ripping into him, he was just commenting on what is there.

OliverKamm Is that show still going

The report merely points out that lots of people took to Twitter to praise Hislop on last night’s HIGNFY. They did, it was trending by 9.30 last night, so the report is completely accurate.

I emailed my MP. Bojo said that Cummings was following his instincts. Going out for a drive to test your eyesight is against DVLC rules. Does that mean a Thief or Murderer following their instincts is not breaking the law? Like many other in Britain, I too demand he goes. DH

I’m going to watch it again. It was so cathartic. notmovingon

Well it certainly looks like he’s ripped into the pies. 🐷

And the point of the diatribe ?

OliverKamm Not from me!

What did Paula Yates call him ?

Well done Mr Hislop DominicCummimgsMustGo

view_cottage IanHislop said in just 60 seconds what BorisJohnson should have said a week ago just prior to terminating DominicCummnings . Brilliant Ian Hislop, brilliant Paul Merton and a brilliant episode of Have I Got News For You. BorisJohnsonMustGo DominicCummimgsMustGo

GirloftheN HIGNFY popularised Johnson and Farage

Absolutely brilliant. Never laughed so much in ages! Well presented and informative.

Best summation I've heard of the Cummings debacle.

That's so easy to do when you haven't a clue what his work entails. Armchair critic. You can tell the lack of management understanding,just a bunch of silly Billy's.

Praised for being a bully and being held up as some kind of icon by the Independent! Thing is we KNOW it’s all an attempt to hide the fact you’re trying to delay the Brexit deal for another two years! WE KNOW YOUR GAME! Take a seat on the bench of irrelevance.

not hard to do at the end of the day cummings admitted he did have childcare in london so it was an unnecessary journey which was against the instructions no need to go beyond that really

Interesting that just relating the facts creates enough hilarity in a comedy setting these days. Relating the same facts in a news environment seems to be 'unbalanced' though.

Continuity remainers continually shreiking at Cummings and Johnson yawn...

Waiting for the BorisWave 😟😟😟

plantingtheoar Having cooperated for years in promoting Boris Johnson as a cuddly harmless buffoon, rather than refusing to go on if he was chairing the show.

Loved it 👏👏👏

It’s old news, it was funny at first then it was too repetitive 😏

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hislop spoke for the majority of people. We are powerless to stop Cummings but we still bave our brains we still have humour. They can't stop us thinking, they can't stop us laughing. Cummings and Johnson are a joke - a very sick one!

Is the gov going to shut down Ian hislop and hignify

melaniekmelvin Ian Hislop the left wing labourite you mean 😂😂

Hislop is a has been

Hislop. Yet another parasite sucking any remnants of remaining credibility from the BBC. DefundBBC

ian hislop is a fat twatt and a remainer

Praised by loser arseholes who are still steaming over Brexit.

Why oh why is no one taking any notice of this? Why do we have to have a couple of utter dickheads (Johnson and Cummings) at this point of history? Bloody heartless twats.

So glad I don't watch children's programmes.

I thought Hislop had died

Huge distraction at this point. Self righteous pile on of admitted jerk

Good on him.

What a Shame SpittingImage Not Around DominicCummimgsMustGo

Praised by who a bunch weirdo lefties, what bunch of morons, life has moved on we are all more interested in how the left are dealing with, Kinnock, Ali, Blackford and the Deputy Mayor of Liverpool oh and of course Corbyn

you got to laugh at the people who are still in complete denial over Cummings.

Tbh, I watched it and got bored with it after 5 minutes. Just a bit pathetic. A sad little Remain man who didn’t get his own way.

Well he is not praised much for anything else so fill ya boots

Does anybody watch this crap anymore ?

Cummings and goings got away with it

Looking forward v.much to Have I got a bit MORE news for you. What gems were excluded? Q:How many cummings acolytes does it take to change a BROKEN light bulb? A:None! Acolytes in unison'We see it clearly working from here in the gardens of 10DowningStreet' cummings19virus

“Why is Cummings making decisions on Vaccines, don’t we have scientists in UK?” Brilliant Ian Hislop asks. CummingsNotTheMessiah

Entertainment shows do well when they are criticising current government. It's not reality. It's just easier to mock than to engage in proper debate, and agreeing or supporting government isn't sensationalist enough to sell.

Praised by people who agree with him. The echo chamber is rattling again.

It was brilliant watching and well said Ian IanHislop1 HaveIGotNewsForYou

All you right winger calling Hislop a leftie? He isn't. Cummings is mugging you off. Keep tugging those forelocks.

In a World where we laugh at politicians and listen to comedians.

Now watch the right-wing dream up a smear for him

Ian Hislop earns his living from satire. So no surprises there. ianhislop satire privateeye

maggierobson Brilliant programme that will do more with humour and ridicule that many of our protests and letters- I hope.

tlna38 have you seen this? If not, you should. Hilariously brilliant! 👌

Cheap laughs, cheap shots!

Delighted viewers? 💤 💤 💤 💤

By The Independent maybe but not the majority of th U.K.

Im sure the leftards thought it was hilarious 🙄 dicks

Ian, have I got news for you, the BBC will now sack you, for talking down the Tory Party

Stunning and brave original humour. I've bought another three TV licences to support the BBC, just for this.

'Satirist' is member of boring mob. How predictable. Who on earth still reads Private Eye.

Hislop was funny and spot on. Cummings Johnson liars and national embarrassment- we have laugh or cry.

The same people calling for Cummings to be sacked for (possilby) breaking Lockdown guideliness seem to be cheering on Emily Maitlas who broke the BBC impartiality guidelines ( more than once)... One rule for those you don't like and one for those you do. What a surprise. 🤔

Absolutely right, DC did what he wanted. His arrogance & position in gov. protected him. He’s excuses are ridiculous -

Well that was brave of him, wasn't it....🤔

Garbage.

Funniest. Well done haveigotnews IanHislop1

He was spot on, anyone who doesn't agree is fooling themselves.

Ian reflects the views of the majority This whole Cummings affair has been a disgrace a shame to UK and shoepws boris for who he really is

ScumMedia MediaScum BBCScum ScumBBC MSMIrrelevance

Whatever our views, agree or disagree, idiots or not, opinions miles apart. Please stay two metres apart so we can keep disagreeing. Stay safe everyone. Avoid the PRESS they really don’t care about your mental or physical HEALTH.

WHo praised him the EU.

Should Cummings resign?

Absolutely - said it how it is

It was an absolute delight.

Twas brilliant

Pompous little git.

Will IanHislop be replaced now, or does the BBC only mind when it is on BBCNewsnight?

So the media have now moved on from the Cummings affair. They had him on the ropes, they should have kept him there and rung the bell. The public want him out! What happened to democracy? 'Move on' said PM & Cummings...and they did. 😠😠

Praised by 'The Independent' you mean

Dominic Cummings’ father-in-law named his horse ‘Barack’ because it is ‘half black, half white’There has been a lot of talk about Dominic Cummings and Barack Obama in the news as of late. I couldn't care less what his father-in-law's house is called, last time I checked his father-in-law did not have a position in government. I bet if Corbyn had a dog named Trump you would headline that as being hillarious I'm starting to think you're name 'Independent' really refers to the relationship your mind has with reality
