[Mrk]

He's a parody of himself.

Goes on about hating Capitalism then asks you to buy his book for £13 to find out why. Brilliant.

I imagine there's quite a few current smack heads among the political ranks. It can happen, just ask Canada.

Indeed. The best PM of the 20th Century - Clement Attlee - Graduate of Oxford University and from a well-to-do family. (also a former footballer of Fleet Town)

Then there's Tony Benn of course.

Though I guess we're going back to the days when politicians weren't living in a bubble and knew the price of bread and milk.

It reminds me of the arguement put forward by Louise Mensch or whatever her name is on HIGNFY. Saying the St Paul's protesters were hypocrites for buying Starbucks coffee most days.

Hislop's riposte was what I had in mind.

Probably the best put-down of a supposed politician I've seen. Mensch was finished after that.

So, just to get this straight...

An ex-smack head, multimillionaire comedian wants to start an anarchist revolution?

Rebelling against the "fat cats" and all that?

Surely the ''ex'' part goes in his favour though...
