I am not saying the governemnts are directly comparable. You and chuff are taking the moral high ground over him accepting money from a regime that has murdered its own citizens. Him taking the money is not the same as him condoning the actions of the regime, merely receiving recompense for him doing a job.

To state that it is, you would also have to accept that paying taxes to or receiving money from your own government means you condone all their actions. The UK government has not only murdered some of its own citizens it has also murdered the citizens of other countries. As has the Australian administration both recently and in the distant past.

Therefore we are no better or worse than Ben are we? I know I have committed what some would class as illegal acts for Queen and country. Thats why I view the whole argument he is an evil man for reporting election results as almost laughable.
