Speech:

Mr. Deputy Speaker,

It is unquestionable that the original TV series of Spitting Image is one which holds immense importance and value to the United Kingdom and her political culture, and even impacting the politics of the 1980's and 90's. It certainly does not help Mr. Speaker that I for one am a complete and utter fanatic for the show. So while Spitting Image in itself may not be everyone's cup of tea, this motion does in the least aim to urge the government to create a state held film registry helping assist pre existing privately held institutions across Britain in preserving these fundamental and key works of art. Perhaps even helping bring them into more common circulation.
