Thank you Delia, DD, gunner and Mary.

One little irony: Alan Hart has yet to pay Jonathan Hoffman and me for our half-day of work on the arduous and often scary June 12th debate programme. Jonathan was endlessly upbraided by Alan and by Hajo Meyer, a Jewish panellist who called us both ‘idiots’ and the three shows have been broadcast thrice recently but still no paycheck. I mention this because the Muslims of Press TV are always gracious; they pay on time whilst Alan Hart, a non-Muslim who produced the show, has yet to pay us. This actually reclects badly on Press TV. He pointedly mentioned on his website that the Zionist Federation’s Jonathan Hoffman’s only query when engaged to be on the debate was what our fee would be; does Alan really expect journalists and broadcasters to be voluntary workers? Or as a colleague said to me: ‘Is he suggesting the 2,000 year-old mantra, ” all Jews think about is the money?”‘
