"I wonder whether satire is on any more, really. Not because real life has outstripped it, but because if it's on a serious subject people will think it's blasphemous - and it sort of is blasphemous. How funny would it be after a dirty bomb attack? The relentless unforeseen is what you're dealing with, and I sometimes feel that humour has basically had it. You can almost imagine that some sort of committee humourlessly deciding that humour is not to be tolerated anymore."
Martin Amis the Independent's Review
Martin the antidote to your rambling, waffly, up your arsiness prose is humour. Only that can save us from your pompous diatribes. You took four pages to say something about the "new" terrorism in the Observer the other day, I'm still not sure what you said, did you ever come to a conclusion? you don't half like to bang on a bit don't you.
