Hello readers,
I'm toying with the idea of buying the DVD of the BBC political satire 'The Thick Of It' but I'm troubled by the fact that the star Chris Langan has a conviction for possession of child porn. I don't want to put money into the pocket of a convicted pervert and can't really face the idea of watching him on the TV... but at the same time would really like to see the series, which I've (by chance) seen clips of and liked, and which has excellent reviews.
I'm torn, dear readers. Should I swallow my distaste for Langan and immerse myself in what, by all accounts, is an excellent comedy, or should I forget any ideas of ever watching it? I could just buy it on eBay - hey presto, no royalties for child-lovers (as they prefer to be called these days - did you take a good look at that site? ) - but that doesn't solve the problem of me losing track of what's happening onscreen because I've let myself be distracted by what a weasel Langan is. What should I do? What would you do?
Edit: I wonder if Save the Children are aware they're being funded by paedophiles?
