The King’s Speech stars Colin Firth and Helena Bonham-Carter have both come out in support of the Yes to AV campaign in the upcoming referendum on electoral reform. Firth, who plays stammering King George VI said:
“The referendum is a once in a generation opportunity to change our clapped out politics for good. I’ll be voting Yes.”
Or should that be “y-y-y-yah”?

Unless I am much mistaken the uncharacteristically poor joke is at the expense of the stutter of the character Mr Firth plays in his recent film. I don’t think it funny to laugh at afflictions such as this.
Otherwise keep up the good work!
