50 Years Of Private Eye (EDM2212)

50 Years Of Private Eye

EDM number 2212 in 2010-12, proposed by Bob Russell on 10/10/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Parliament and Press.

That this House congratulates the satirical magazine Private Eye on its 50th anniversary on 25 October 2011; notes that the magazine has a reputation for highlighting Parliamentary misdemeanors, a record which should be commended rather than condemned; observes that over five turbulent decades it has developed its unique mix of jokes and journalism, comedy and campaigning, gags and gossip, laughter and libel and reporting political plots to royal revelations and City scandal to media manipulation; and wishes Private Eye continuing achievements in years to come in covering the public life of the nation in a way which other media do not.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
