Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie on Privatizing the police force

Thanks to Griffon, here's a hilarious sketch by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. The subject is the privatization of public services, and it's a propos this story about the fire department watching a house burn down in fee-based rural Tennessee — because there, apparently, they've got better things to do than tax people to provide services.



Both Laurie and Fry appeared in Jeeves & Wooster, and Laurie's the lead in House. (Hugh Laurie's also hilarious in Blackadder, by the way, and Stephen Fry is terrific in everything he does.)

A Sunday treat; enjoy.
