Did you catch BBC 2's Have I Got News For You the other night? If you did, you might have laughed along when chair, Jo Brand, asked the audience if anyone lived in Streatham, and told them not to go there, describing Streatham High Street as the worst street in Britain (referring to poll results) and then "a shithole" (which was entirely unscientific and her own opinion). Streatham Council's Angelina Purcell wasn't laughing, and has followed up with a letter of complaint, claiming Brand "let herself down badly" (it's not clever and it's not funny) and had made her own job ten times harder (estimate). More here.
