Welcome to the Private Police Force

Teabagger dream, or nightmare? A BBC comedy with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie:

Is it just me, or are there two insults against Americans in here? The second one is the obvious one, where the policeman asks him to fill out a form (rather then fill in a form, as the British would say) and he asks if everyone has suddenly turned American. But more subtly, the police station has all kinds of coffee, but no tea. The intended reference being that the US (with its private health insurance) infecting the British police.

    This is all wrong. You don’t deny someone service because they’re not subscribed. You help them, then you send them a bill with a huge out-of-network surcharge.
