Mark Steel
- Those of you interested in Jeremy Hardy may also be interested in Mark Steel. He has a book out, Reasons to be Cheerful, which is a trip through his youth as he attempts to overthrow the evil Thatcherite and Majorite junta, and his disappointment with Blair. I found the book consistently funny, well researched and very illuminating for a reader who was not around at the time. Anyone who’s enjoyed Speaks to the Nation, or any of Mark Steel’s radio programmes, should read this book. There are several references to Jeremy in there too (around p. 185). Like Jeremy, Mark Steel also supports the Socialist Alliance, and stood as a candidate in the Greater London Authority elections, receiving over 1000 votes.
- Steel now has a second book out about the French Revolution.
- There is a Mark Steel Yahoo!Group.
Linda Smith
- Fellow contributor to the News Quiz, with a very kitchen sink view of life, but in a funny way.
Ben Elton (Man from Auntie period)
- He used to be brilliant, perceptive and polital. The Man from Auntie was his funniest and most sophisticated show. However, now he's been exposed as an unprincipled Andrew Lloyd-Webber collaborator whose most biting material was about microwaves.
Bill Hicks
- A remarkable late comedian who had much in common with Jeremy's view of the world. His six stand-up albums are rightly considered classics. Strongly advised. Some DVDs.
Chris Morris
- A satirical genius. There is much more to see on him at cook'd and bomb'd.
Michael Moore
- Probably the world’s richest satirist, with fantastic movies Roger and Me, Downsize This and Bowling for Columbine to his name, as well as the essential book Stupid White Men. Check out his site.
