Yes - he produces very clever, well researched material.

Thoroughly recommended as he is good at exposing gubbermint hypocrisy.

I was just reading his attack at "Innocent Smoothies" or rather the "Drink Formerly Known As Innocent" now it's sold out it's ethical values to "Coca Cola"

Yeah he's good. Saw him in Manchester during the Iraq war, and he was giving out the American security chief at RAF Fairford's mobile no. used by plane spotters to report protestors and playing pranks for the whole show. Not particularly funny, i'd say amusing yet shocking (are we really shocked at the government?).

Is this the socialist arse who keeps asking to get shot by police near Downing Street, among other things...?

If so, he needs to be nailed in a box with Russell Brand and dropped in the North Sea from a great height..

It is, but probably worth a listen, he's also the chap campaigning to ensure that Maggie Thatcher gets to pay for her own funeral when she dies & not some State Benefit affair that you will have to pay for via taxes etc........

He needs to move on then. Even Gordon Brown has stopped blaming the last Conservative government for everything.

Socialist tosser.

Clever fella who has exposed all sorts of stupidity by various organisations.

Try Googling the Mark Thomas Comedy Product,

The best one was where he set up an 'army' to show how easy it would be to hijack a nuclear train.

I wish he'd try...

I'd pay to watch him die in the attempt...

Arse...

I don't know what it is about him, but I do know that I'd pay good money to see "Alien & Predator vs. Mark Thomas"

Particularly the scene where his gibbering screams - entirely understandable, given that he is being hoist aloft by the Predator who has just impaled his guts with a nasty hook-type thing, probably heated up nicely with a laser - are stifled as his face is wrapped by the Alien spore-squid and the egg-implant stem is rammed down his throat.

The rest of the film is fairly predictable, obviously, and involves all of the best PH stock phrases, but ends with an emotional scene in which the Alien and Predator are given public service awards for disposing of the utterly toxic little gobshyte, after kicking him in the face, with the use of a fusion warhead delivered from orbit.

You don't have to agree with his political viewpoint to appreciate how he highlights the hypocrisy and ineptitude of Government, of whatever persuasion.
Don't shoot the messenger.

he's a bit of a legend, and has, as been said, made some very good points in a funny way. kind of a cross between Private Eye, Billy Bragg and a clown. I like him well enough.

He is good at what he does, but really really bad at choosing his battles.

But he does choose the ones that Joe Public can't fight without a voice!

True, and then he goes and fights one that doesn't need fighting, still, he is better than Mr Moore I guess!

Anyone seen any dirt on him?
Because I'm sure the Establishment would have produced any by now.
