His views on Saddam were both stupid and Naive, but the good thing was he said it him self.
The problem with todays media both right and left is that they have a reputation for over demonising someone, twisting facts and almost outright lying so that even if there politics is different to yours you feel sympathy for them because of the media.
Now I know he is a complete idiot.
The people of Bethnal Green and Bow should be extremely embarassed today.
