Yes, it may well have been a planned stunt, but it sure backfired!

I read in the paper today that Negus has lost a job or two by sponsors who also support the defense forces in some way.

How anyone could make fun of a hunky guy like that soldier, who is also a father to twins, as well as a brave man by all accounts, is beyond me.

George Negus just got better breaks than John Pilger and ran with them, there but for the grace of god, George could soon be reduced to sharing a podium with Mamdouh Habib at Marxism 2012, alongside Pilger.

Susie that is the question and the reason it bought about the storm it did.
We see different things and think differently, look only at the post under yours to see that.
Negus, is at the end not the start of a very long and fruitful work life.
