Jan 28, 2008 - I don't think there is any humour in the Madeleine McCann case (a four year old possibly abducted child? Come on! What ever happened to her was horrible. What kind of paedo wouldn't want a kid like her?). But I don't think that there was anything disrespectful to Madeleine in this. I actually thought that the whole clip was pretty funny (and that's saying something, as I am American and British humour doesn't always do it for me). It's making fun of Gordon Brown not little Maddie.

Mar 14, 2008 - oooh my God..is this the 'Madeleine McCann joke' that caused such a stir!?! Come on people! calm down! its not even a joke on Madeleine, its a joke on Labour spin tactics

Apr 28, 2008 - At about 4:18 you can hear me pissing myself laughing at that Madeleine McCann joke - I was in the audience for the filming of this and I haven't heard anything that funny since. Genius line.

Jun 13, 2008 - Please John Fortune, please start your political party - I and millions of other British people would vote for you!!! XURHeart-lucky you being there to see this live! There is something so "naff" about the kind of people who would "morally" object to the Madeleine McCann joke - it's a pity they don't get so worked up about the number of children who have been slaughtered in the "war" (invasion)in Iraq.

Sep 8, 2009 - If your dad was from Glasgow and your mum from Liverpool, wouldn't you be glad to be abducted?

Sep 22, 2009 - Birs and Fortune are shit. They think theya re so funny, but they were just filler on Rory Bremner's show.

Jan 31, 2010 - I would vote for the don't vote party. More could be accomplished by by politicians sitting in the pub all day doing nothing. Let the Country run itself. At least private enterprise wouldn't sell the Country out to Europe.

Jun 19, 2010 - They say the things you can't say on t.v without saying them. This is good.

Oct 22, 2007 - Ok who here that dosen't actually even know the family or the kid feels as though they should give a shit about them? I wonder if they'll beat Hitler for number of front pages. Lol loving everyone dosen't work, its for retards who follow in herd mentality. Woohoo the press has picked up on Maddie "I think ill go cry about her". lol
