In past blogs, I have mentioned how the British elites, ever since the early 1990's, have embarked on a campaign to airbrush internationally famous comedian Benny Hill out of existence, in a manner not unlike the Soviet Union's airbrushing of political dissidents in the Stalin era.

Now comes word that the Royal Mail in Britain, a few years ago, voted down an attempt to include Mr. Hill in a series of stamps to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the commercial Independent Television (ITV) network, which took place in 2005.  The official party line for this rejection was that to include him in that tribute would have contravened their policies on "sexual harassment in the workplace."  Yes, folks, those in control of the Royal Mail are of the mentality that to like Benny Hill, or acknowledge that you like him, is tantamount to committing sexual harassment.  Such is the extent to which the well has been poisoned in Britain with respect to the late comedian.

But while this was pegged in the British media to "political correctness," that is the "Cliff's notes" version of the story. The real reason behind this exclusion of Mr. Hill from this series of stamps commemorating ITV's 50th has to do with the fact that many segments of the British government (notably places like the Royal Mail and various social agencies), as well as the British news media, the British entertainment industry (TV, radio, movies), the British psychiatric and mental health professions, and the British educational system (from kindergarten to college), are all controlled by radical homosexuals (whose agenda is notoriously anti-family and anti-Christian) and mean-faced, clipped-haired lesbian feminists (whose agenda is every bit anti-male) - and both groups have "had it in" for Mr. Hill for the last two decades or more.  From the former element, the continuing jihad against Benny is tied in to their assault against traditional values, one of the more egregious examples (among many) being their pushing to have the words "mom" and "dad" removed from school textbooks; from the latter, it is part of a pattern whose net result has included such travesties as boys falling further and further behind girls in educational achievement in school, as well as the increasing pandemic of fatherless households.  Both groups are particularly notorious for their equation with heterosexual mores and traditional family values with "sexism" and every other "ism" out there.

Yet as I've noted here and here, these are among the same people who consider Monty Python's Flying Circus to somehow be little more than "innocent, harmless fun."  One article wrote – in a way that nailed it totally – that that show (whose anniversary was played up by the world media just a month ago) was "politically correct . . . in a liberal, left-wing sort of way."

Anyone still have any doubts that the upcoming 40th anniversary of Mr. Hill's first show for Thames will be buried and swept under the rug by the media?
