    • Was waiting for this. He was great in The Thick of It,but really hard to untwine whether or not he was a paedo. Such a stain if he weren't. Fuck him if he were.Nairn

    • .."I tried to write the most vile character imaginable, and it's telling that the Americans think H.H. is the hero."garbage
    • I'd equate it to our collective maintained stupidity as a nation; a good chunk of us still think Travis Bickle is the good guy.garbage
    • I loved him in this: https://www.youtube.…Ianbolton
