Things never to forget number 1:

I didn't much like Ricky Gervais on Desert Island Discs. I thought he'd be far more interesting than that. He sounded spooky and weird, like David Brent. Why is that so surprising? Barry Humphries doesn't sound like Dame Edna.

He doesn't want children. I didn't like his choice of music, and I don't like his instincts. He was so crazy about Cat Stevens. Well so was I in the old days, but did Gervais know that Cat Stevens called for the fatwah on Salman Rushdie?

Then, of course, the scummy University of Gloucester (sounds like a contradiction in terms, doesn't it?) gives an honorary degree to Cat Stevens.

He's got a new name now, Yusuf Islam (stupid name for a Greek), but that can't erase his fatwah, no matter how much he tries to deny it, or how many good works he does. Scumbag of the first order.
