They are indeed nutters, but the amazing thing is that they actually attract followers, not to mention significant donations from the public.

For the first 5 minutes it is ok, but once they launch into tirades about the Queen being a drug runner and /or part of a global conspiracy, and other nutjob ideas, I think 99.9% of people will think it is a comedy show.

I am surprised as well that they are on Channel 31, but I think they conform to the terms of what is required for broadcasts.

Under sec 3.2c of the community standards, they are not supposed to “provoke or perpetuate intense dislike, serious contempt or severe ridicule against a person or group of persons on the grounds of age, gender, sexual preference, nationality, ethnicity, race, physical or mental ability or illness, or religious or political affiliation. ”

Unless they do that, or monarchists make a complaint, we may well be stuck with them until ratings show that nobody watches the show.
