Seeing Nick Griffin go bankrupt: Priceless

As Ricky Gervais put it tonight - Nick Griffin never did like the term "in the black". Check out Lily Allen lament for Nasty Nazi Nick.

Ricky Gervais - “The Real Disaster In Burma”.

I received this email and YouTube link today from Burma Campaign……

Dear Friend,
We have just launched a major new campaign video featuring top UK comic Ricky Gervais. The powerful video is called “The Real Disaster In Burma”. 

Over the last nine months millions of people around the world have realised just how brutal and ruthless the Burmese regime is. They have realised that the regime will stop at nothing to stay in power – they’ll shoot peaceful protestors, they’ll even leave storm victims to die.

We want the world to realise the real disaster in Burma is the government.

Please watch it online and forward the message below to anyone who you think will support our work. You can see it here: http://www.burmacampaign.org.uk/therealdisaster.html

Ricky Gervais: politically incorrect and live at the Apollo

Off message but just back from seeing Ricky Gervais who is appearing at the Hammersmith Apollo, London. Great show, a sell out and a superb performance. First time I have seen him live, even thought I suspect tomorrow I might think he was a bit "out of order". Which, in the very unlikely event he would ever read this would no doubt bring him out in pearls of laughter and suggest I am a C**T. Despite this he was not as filthy "live" as I had heard but pretty near the mark. His timing and delivery is however genius.

Don't go if you have kids who have cancer or are autistic, if you have M.E, AIDS or are fat. Other sensitive issues covered not at all sensitively are famine, Dawn French's weight, murdered prostitutes, race, climate change, religion, Chris Tarrent's divorce etc. I suspect that a less skilled comic would not be able to get away with it. He himself said "one false move and I'm Jim Davidson".

Finally if you are drunk, do not heckle him since he will make you look a complete and utter doughnut! Seats still available - give him a go (free CD on every seat).
