i had already read the thread which is why i posted what i did. but anyway i certainly agree that he's a tit politically at least and deserved getting slated for his question time performance.

If Izzard didn't go around in a beret trying to bemoan democracy what would he have left? Watching Palace and running marathons very slowly to kiss up to a dead terrorist. But no, he's had a slice of fame and he needs to cling on to the final threads of it for as long as he can.

He is getting worse as he gets older and has some weird ideas in my opinion.

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

The guy/girl? is a tit and always has been.

..he wants criticism, that way issues get spoken about.

He is a guy that used to be funny, used to have a bit of a niche market in the comedy industry that in many ways raised his stock and helped paint over the weaknesses in his comedy. Here he is, in a world where what he wears is actually considered a lot less "way out" than it was before, where he is washed up in terms of comedy, trying desperately not to be forgotten about. He can join Russell Brand and Bob Geldof.

I'm sure they've all done some good, and I don't necessarily disregard them because their opinions differ to mine, but they ought not be taken any more seriously because they were once famous. They are no different, in my mind, than any other fanatical person stood on a soap box in the street yelling their opinions.
