Buggernation Street - buggered

Just noticed that the Victoria Lucas channel on YouTube has been removed, apparently because of pornography and nudity.

Very non-pc generally, but Buggernation Street was gold

Yes a lot of their non Buggernation Street videos came across as pretty grim from the descriptions, never watched any of them. They posted a new Buggernation Street video recently which I never got around to watching.

Oh! This is the thread that made me sign up because I had things to say! I really liked the Victoria Lucas channel because as a child of the 70s (bestrewn with ancient-ish wisdom, if you squint a bit) his mildly satirical stuff about 70s itv schools programmes and regional itv idents and continuity (I'm a total nerd about that stuff, reminds me of my childhood, nostalgic warm fuzzies the whole thing) really hit the spot for me.

'Buggernation St' which was his star turn as it were, didn't appeal to me much because once you get past the one joke of it (ena sharples says swear words) and it was the same joke as that Chris Morris parody that I've forgotten the name of now but the 'elsie tanner' character played by Rebecca Front I think says 'ta ra you shitter' in it or is it the newspaper seller played by Steve Coogan.. well anyway I was never that keen on Buggernation St

But as time went on the guy behind the channel just couldn't resist putting his right wing pub bore opinions in there here and there. And I just felt more and more uncomfortable with that. The final straw was when he said something about how it was common sense to think that men can't become women. It was a terf thing! And of all the species of RW pub bore types, the 'I'm just talking common sense'subspecies is the worst and most bile inducing. Regretfully I had to in the manner of kinky vicar exposing news of the world hacks of old 'make my excuses and leave' and press the 'do not recommend this channel' bit.

It was a shame because much of his stuff was genuinely witty and that narrow demographic of 70s British childhood tv nostalgia was really resonant for me. (something like the same furrow ploughed by Quentin Smirhes and Scarfolk but less eery-horror and more wry cynicism sort of thing.

Yeah but once he revealed himself as a terf, I hit the back button and never went back. (there was also one video which pretty much repeated the 'everyone in power is a nonce' conspiracty theory word for word from the David Icke forum thread about that which I was reading at the time. I thought then that some of his opinions were on the 'outre' side (the english equivalent of qanon adjacent in other words)

Just a shame that's all. (as Phil Collins once sang while dressed as a tramp)

Yeah, I got a similar impression judging by some of the more recent video titles just before the channel disappeared.
