the latter was in tip- top form last night on BBC's "question time". mike moore is a film-maker and TV presenter, best known in GB for his recent series "the awful truth", and he used his chance on the BBC's prime talking- shop to dispell many of the myths surrounding the impending war drive. You name it, he dispelled it ! In one go, he said all the things last night that the trades unions manifestly DIDNT say to Leader Blair during his speech to the TUC. While the big-mouth unions suddenly became the still voice of calm, last night mike moore spoke up; the other panellists, being assorted USA politicians and luminaries, harangued him and interuppted; even the chairman dimbelby was unable to control them at times, but moore kept going. bizarrely, (in a new variation of the old "go to Russia if socialism's so good ") one cheecky chap from England even told him to leave America and go and live in the middle- east ! moore pointed out that his first duty as an American was to criticise his government.
well played to mike moore, who didnt keep quiet.

ps. i happened to make a video recording of the show. if anyone really wants it, please nag me and i might let you have it.
