A TV network in the United Kingdom has come under fire for censoring a segment about the death of Queen Elizabeth II during the latest episode of “Last Week Tonight With John Oliver.”
A number of Brits tweeted their disgust at Sky TV this week after the network appeared to remove Oliver’s jokes about how people and brands reacted to news of the queen’s death last Thursday.
In a clip tweeted by Sky viewer @matthirtyfive, the broadcast abruptly cuts to a “Last Week Tonight” logo following Oliver’s remarks about the president of Chile, skips his commentary on the queen’s death and picks back up with the comedian’s thoughts on the U.K.'s new prime minister.
