ditto, like you I find a lot wrong with our governments and am quiteliberal, but I'm no Micheal Moore, by thinking everything that goes wrong is the government lying, staging or whatever. I think they're doing well, London may have slipped through but after that, security has been pretty tight, although all some one has to do in the London underground is leave a bag there, its not too hard as they don't know the contents inside.

aaaanyway, double ditto, but lets look at other comedians, like Henry Rollins, I saw him live and he is hilarious, sort of like f*** you and apologises afterwards, he's very anti Bush though. He went on a flight to Australia for the big day out, on the plane he was reading a book called Jihad, as he likes reading that sort of thing, he then recieved an email from the security afterwards, for being criticised on reading that book and his general political view for being a potential terrorist threat to Australia, he was quite annoyed and got defensive about it and sent a really angry email back, including hard insults about the prime minister, they replied with an apology saying how this sort of thing happens a lot and explaining it, somehow the Australian press got hold of this email and published it.
