Channel 4's Alternative Christmas Message

Has this been mentioned? Sounds like an excellent idea to me, I'd like to hear a more Eastern point of view.

Huh, that's a surprise. I actually was expecting Geraldine.

Yeah but it would just be "I hope you have a nice Christmas, this time last year, I spent Christmas in a hospital in Bangkok..."

I thought it might have been Russell Brand, given that he doesn't seem to be as out of favour at C4 as he is elsewhere.

An excellent - and surprising - choice, but I don't see the logic in moving it to the evening so it's up against Corrie and Strictly. Surely it would attract more viewers at 3pm considering most people couldn't give a stuff what the Queen has to say!

Probably finishing with "I think we should have Christmas every year"

Why him this is a joke to us. Remember iran said our navy people supposedly went in to irania waters and took them hostage but in good will weeks later released them making a joke of britain.remember faye tunney?

Why not him? Don't you want to hear an alternative point of view? Stop being so narrow minded. There are two sides to every story.

Channel 4 have picked well this year.

An anti-semitic, homophobic terrorist, who denies the Holocaust happened, and wants to nuke Israel!

Yep ... nice choice Channel 4 ... !

Your arrogance sickens me. Stop speaking for others.

where can you see this again?

Yeah, I like hearing the view of a man who kills converts to Christianity, women for committing adultery, gay men for being gay and wants to wipe an entire country of the face of the Earth too. I really can't get enough of it

He's an angry, tyrannical despot and Channel 4 have cast a very dark shadow over everything that's good about Christmas by broadcasting this 'alternative speech' today.
