I think the man's a genius, and has brought so much to the fore front of public attention. Had it not been for him, I wouldn't know of half the shit that goes were it not for him. He's hightened my political awareness after it slacking for a number of years. Good on him. I love Mark.
"Other side", what other side is this? The people who sell arms and murder for profit? Do you think these people should be defended? Why is criticizing the business of mass murder boring to you, do you have a conscience?
He's not a comedian in my view, but a political activist. Saw him on newsnight quite recently, introduced as a comedian. He's never made me laugh and I find like rory bremner he's so caught up in his politics that the jokes suffer, as does the impact of the message, because your not laughing and feeling deceived into being lectured under the guise of entertainment. I'm not saying he's wrong or a bad guy, but I think his message gets out less due to this conflict. For me atleast...
Trying to fit everything into your narrow view of the world eh? I didn't go to public school actually but I appreciate that your non-thought out line of reasoning is the cause of many problems in this country. I did go on an anti-war march and I was right to. As a proponent of war I'm sure you are happy with how everything has gone in 'the war on terror' but not many others do! You are welcome to live in ue own bitter, miserable existence. Just try not to bring everyone else down with you.
Rather than rant about his background why don't you explain what his "bullshit and lies" actually are? You only discredit your own cause by abusing his background without any facts backing up your point.
Still so relevant. His comedy got me some tough times as a kid, being a beacon of rationality in a sea of cruelty.
THANK YOU! stunning! Anyone who can get away with an export credit regime and make it funny........... i salute you!
"good for jobs" as are heroin sales.. human trafficking.. and piracy.

There’s a new British National Anthem covering these issues on cliffjamesmusic. It’s called “God save us all”. Comments welcome.
When the Power of Love is great than The Love of Power then the world will know Peace.....huh! when that will be is never but one can hope.........
@regvarney,
I think you'll find his mother was a midwife and his father was a bricklayer - hardly the aristocratic type you make him out to be!
control arms - we are globally growing together

wak3upca11, they cheer because they AGREE with Mark.
Does your comment mean that you agree with arms trading and all that it implies?
you obviously never heard Marti Caine's political set
There is a million and one of these type of persons making a living speaking along the lines of this person , Russell Brand comes to mind also .
Bruce Burns He's one of the originals.

no laughing? 1:58 - 2:04 anyone?
I see. And the does the fact that he is a member of the middle classes and went to public school somehow detract from his arguments?
So what have you done lately to expose hypocrisy and death dealing ?

I remember when this guy used to be funny...
No wonder his audience is about 10 strong....about as funny as Syphilis.
Ive always wanted to hit Mark Thomas with 5.56 from 300 yards from my L96 Lee Enfield Sniper rifle!
