Biologically Male Gender Fluid Gay Person'. Elton uses this tag in his novel, although I couldn't find the exact acronym online, suggesting he coined it for satirical purposes. A term with conflicting definitions on the internet, describing both a penis and vagina. Elton uses the term defined on as an acronym for Cis-Hating Ultra Trans I've always liked Ben Elton without ever being his biggest fan but in this book, he genuinely spoke to me. This is relentlessly bubbly, irreverent (of course) and often very funny. No target is safe in this very-near-future world of Elton's and he fires shots seemingly indiscriminately. While most politicians have made up names it's obvious who is being sent up, for example, Bunter Jollye and Plantagenet Greased-Hogg - can't imagine who they are modelled on . . .

Elton and Curtis also wrote Atkinson's 1986 stage show The New Revue, and Mr. Bean's "exam" episode. But my insight, the one I had but didn’t express, was that although we live in an era of instant communication, the world Elton describes is one in which we are no more accurately informed than the French citizens who overthrew a king. Greer was once on the right side of history and like her fictional counterpart, Giffard, could not have foreseen the ground shifting beneath her feet. Many French citizens who lost their heads during the French Revolution may have been equally surprised when what started as a revolution for equality became a bloodbath at the foot of the guillotine. In Elton’s novel, time and again, chronicles the same process of the shifting tides of opinion, and the variable fortunes of protagonists, some horrible, some of whom are moral, well-intentioned people. Yet both can be deemed toxic and find themselves on the wrong side of history in the combative arena of social media. That was my insight. How is it possible to be so trenchant and angry when we know that history alone will judge us? If Elton’s novel is about anything it is this: the need for perspective and conversation, not abuse.

A powerful Hollywood executive whose sexual predation on women for many years was the main catalyst for the #MeToo movement.The result, The Young Ones had an inconspicuous business influence (at any rate, at first), yet its social effect was Goliath. Regardless of the way that it has unavoidably dated seriously (hilariously, significantly more so than The Good Life, the agreeable 1970s sitcom that was a key center for its vitriol), it was the closest the BBC ever came to making a peak time course of action with a truly punk sensibility. Gasping (1990) was first performed at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London. It starred Hugh Laurie and featured the voice of Stephen Fry.

But it is–not surprisingly given Elton's decades-long conspicuous stands on progressive issues – about all kinds of politics, too: identity politics, gender politics, party politics and, of course, dirty politics.

Stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. It's an acronym used to denote the wide range of human sexuality, and people who fall outside traditional male/female heterosexual binarism. The wider world in which the microcosm is occurring is just as crazy - not only have we had the Brexit referendum, but now a similar vote is forthcoming to decide on Britain's future as the United Kingdom, or if it will break up. Both campaigns eagerly fall on every social media trend and news item, spinning it to their cause, to outrageous effect.
