I think there is a broad stream of transphobia in British culture going back to before Little Britain, and many of the leading exponents of transphobia in British culture are not at all the target audience of the show - it's the intellegentsia and the elite media circles and academics pushing that line as much as or more so than anyone else. I suspect that the same is true of ableism. And I also am not sure I agree about how cowardly the Tories are - they, or at least the right-wingers in the party, are fairly brazen and open about being awful, it seems to me.

I agree that it is a reprehensible show, and also very bad. I think it's one part of a broad stream in British culture, society and politics, more so than a point of origin.

They are pushing it because it is popular among the public, it is popular among the public in large part solely because of LB. Vulnerable people are hearing LB's catchphrases still hurled at them in daily life, and often from those in power. LB doesn't need to have created it, but they did popularised and disseminate it. They made it a safe bet for politicians. When a disabled person hears a crack about needing to rush back to the chair before they are spotted, or a transperson hears *that* line hurled at them, it is because of that show.

If you want to deny that, go ahead, but you will be in active denial and will be contributing to the very real and actual harm that show and its presenters enabled, and you will be wrong. Your opinion will be wrong. You've been told. Now you can choose whether to listen or not. From this point on you can choose whether to be right, or continue to be wrong. If you choose wrong, then that is your choice to continue to be so.

No, it goes back way before LB. Way way before.
