That's the equivalent over here to Mark Thomas taking his act to a Parliamentary subcommittee hearing.

He got his point across though.

Haven't watched him for a long time, tbh. The Mark Thomas Product was funny as [Poor language removed].

He's not been on for a while. He did a "secret map of Britain" program in which he had a 1950 map, and a 2008 map. He went thru the whole map noting what had been taken off, as things just don't dissappear, then checked if they were actually still there. ruffled a few MOD base feathers, oil pipelines, then called up Collins and gave them grief about their map being doctored.

he also did one on Coca Cola, looking into why they put cocaine in their drinks at the turn of the century, and why they are stealing water from Indian farmers.

Hands down best one, was when he recruited school girls from an Irish convent, and asked them to help him expose the arms trade. They were standing on the border between Northern and Southern Ireland (were it was apparantly legal) speaking to Arms distributors about if they have blah blah blah Armoured assault Tank in stock..."would you like a brochure sent out Madame?"....unbelievable....but then again, if you've seen "Lord Of War", you'll hardly be surprised...

I've read his stuff on this. Union organisers getting assassinated by stooges employed by Coca Cola. Some of the lefty comics are a bit meh at times, but Thomas I like...and Jeremy Hardy, who isn't on our screens nearly enough.

Said Indian farmer stands there in a Coca Cola hat and t-shirt..

"They steal my water..." "and all i got was this crappy t-shirt"...

Apparantly it takes 2L of water to make 1L of coca cola...distilling process and all that???
