@RenonKoral Gaddafi was singled out is because in 2009 he raised the idea of nationalising the country's oil industry so that more revenues will benefit the Libyan people rather than the foreignl oil companies, but he has been resisted by many in the government and state buraucracy, including Foreign Minister Musa Kusa, who had developed a comfortable lifestyle on backhanders from oil companies. That's why the CIA organised the rebellion in Libya. The Egyptian military now suppresses opposition.
Abdel Hakim Belhadj, a "rising star in the Libyan leaderships" according to the BBC, was a radical Islamist who made close ties with Al Qaeda after fleeing Libya to Afghanistan in 1998. He helped stage 3 assassination attempts on Gaddafi during the 90s and was handed over to the Libyan government in 2004 (by the CIA) after the Libyan government issued an arrest warrant. He was released in 2010 (do you think someone would get similar treatment in the US if they'd attempted to kill the president?)
@Sydenam What makes you say that about this show? While that is the case for some live shows, it is not for this show. I was there on the fourth week and the minute one person (unnecessarily) clapped, everyone else conformed and joined in, even at the most stupid times.
@Sumpfdotterschnalle You too? I moved onto a different point, as my above comment states. I moved onto another point I had regarding how I felt about the show's audience. When did I specify the (non-existent) constant clapping remark was applicable to this specific video? I was speaking in relation to the show generally.
I´ll take it as "no, I never been there, I never met anyone who has been there, nor anyone who has lived there, yet I will be the smartass because I read a blog". Modern, my ass.
@itsmarmalade Gaddafi was a HERO!!. he was the popular leader of Libya.. he didn't even hold an official position in the government.. he has my respects
The people of Libya stood in support Gaddafi when NATO was blowing their country's infrastructure to bits at the mammoth rally in green square an estimated 1 million people turned out to support Gaddafi. How many turned up at rallies to support NATO and their 'rebels'? A few hundred at most.
@BooMeRLiNSKi "I bet All you do is go through dictionary books and throw comments on youtube using long words." Possibly my favourite insult ever used by someone losing an argument. Thank you for forcing him into a corner and making him pull that cracking line on you.
Charlie Brooker complains about Tony Blair getting off with Gheddafi: what should we Italian say when Berlusconi kissed his ring, proclaimed him his friend and invited him in Rome and even learned bunga bunga from him...
According to the Huffington Post, at least 20 Islamic militant leaders were "involved in battlefield roles". As for women losing rights, the rebel leader used his first speech to "propose making it easier for men to have more than one wife" (BBC). And the case of Magdulien Abaida, who supported the rebels, went to post-revolution Libya to help champion women's rights and was abducted twice by militia groups because her actions were seen as "anti-Islamic".
Did you see the video I posted of the million strong (according to estimates) pro-Gaddafi demonstration? There are good reasons why he had majority support: free healthcare, free university, homelessness was virtually non-existent, literacy levels rose from 25% to 83%. Again, he was by no means perfect, but I think it's important to realise these situations aren't always as black and white as the mainstream media would lead us to think.
ahh, mr brooker. thanks once again for being the voice of the people who know what happening, Gaddafi is apperently a bad person according to Cameron etc and the news, and it wasnt long ago when he was a good guy. i say our government can be just as bad. nice to see charlie brooker taking a stand in his unique and awesome way
@fordeboi yes, BBC report proves this quite good, showing demonstration in India with comment "this is Tripoli in Libya and people who are against Gaddafi are celebrating his defeat". Well, they even didn't care that those people were waving Indian flags.
Under Gaddafi, a man had to get permission from his wife in order to marry again, now he will not. A slight difference there don't you think? I didn't know that about Abaida's kidnap, thanks for educating me. But even if that was the only reason for her abduction, it is just another indiication of the chaos the country is in if an independent militia can abduct a high profile activist twice without any repercussions.
I don't blame Charlie for being on the anti-Gaddafi bandwagon, I was on it too until I bothered reading into the situation beyond what the mainstream media said. From looking at the evidence (and I was STRONGLY opposed to Gaddafi to begin with), he did actually have majority support from the Libyan people; and when you look at the drastic change in living standards during the regime - from the lowest in the world to the highest in Africa - it's easy to see why...
@JumpYouFuckerJump you'd agree with most reviews then. They said the show only had two flaws, The audience and Lauren... I think if we couldn't see the audience (like the daily show etc) it might work with them
@RenonKoral Col. Khalifa Haftar, currently leading the rebels, set up the anti-Gaddafi Libyan National Army with CIA and Saudi backing. For the last 20 years he's been living quietly in Virginia before returning to Benghazi to lead the fight against Gaddafi. Another leader, Abdul Hakeen al-Hassadi, fought against the US in Afghanistan, arrested in Pakistan, and mysteriously released. US Deputy Sec of State Steinberg told Congress he would speak of Mr Hassadi only in a closed session.
So upon asking for examples you come up with "Google it". Thank you very much, I have sufficient knowledge about usage of Google but I was asking you, not Larry Page and Sergej Brin.
Good segment. Although I fucking hate the audience on the show, particularly during the Mitchell interviews. They're clapping about things they don't understand and do so pretty much every few minutes.
@ShirtlessLocke I am sorry for your hate but I think you should know that during live shows the audience is told when to clap or laugh. So I guess you hate the audience director for telling them when to clap... But what if hes a nice guy, you don't really know him
@NazRockProductions When did I specify my statement to this video? I stated that it was a good segment and moved on to a minor feud I have. Also, if you read the comment, I said "clapping" not "laughing". I'm not on a high horse, I'm merely stating how I find it rather tedious how the audience applauses can be so silly at times, mostly in relation to the 'serious' intereviews Mitchell has with others. Given how your comment is utterly and irrevocably invalid, you're the one who looks silly.
What land are some of these people on here from,you forget how mental and nuts people actually are. then you read half of this crap. Hero.i think some people are not sure what the word means. Any way good video ,made my eyes water a bit from laughter.

This is beautiful. Charlie, please be on TV more. We need you!
Still one of the funniest bits he's done.
thriller-era gaddafi is my favorite of alltime!
Wicked as ever is Charlie Brooker. Thanks for sharing.
You know the world's heading in the right direction when you can make a Pilkington reference on a completely unrelated TV show and people get it :)
Pure brilliance
my thanks and respect for a highly amusing read
"pumped his fists a few times like a bloke on ChatRoulette" is probably the best line I've ever heard uttered on TV.
Brilliant.
I love this chap!
Charlie brooker is quality! makes that show
i would buy that dvd
"the ethical equivalent of rimming Voldemort in public"
fucking brilliant!
ЧАРЛИ, ТРЕБА ВАС МАЛО БОМБАРДОВАТИ. ВИДИ КАКО ЈЕ ВАШ НАРОД НЕЗАДОВОЉАН И НАПАЋЕН.
Well said.
brilliant :)
Thanks for the laughs! Why don't we have Charlie in the states! LOL!
LONG LIVE COLNEL GADAFFI!!
Despite the fact he only has a short segment, I'd say Brooker is easily the talent of the show.
telling it like it is. good on him.
Love it. lol
Look for the DVD boxset of "These Messages."

"depressed Nigerian grandmother at a wedding"...........lmao
well I will just get the popcorn ready.
i love the fact that karl pilkington was mentioned
@Lightmaster11 Did you miss the bit where Charlie made that very point?
Hilarious AND smart
Sometimes I get the feeling Charlie simply love to shout the phrase "Suck on my truth!" and ascend through the studio ceiling.
RIP COLONEL GADAFFI
THE AUDIENCE LAUGH ON CUE
@TheCasualObservers you sir, is a legend
charlie brooker should host the daily show. twould be awesome.
I wish I could just pretend that whatever suited me magically became reality in my mind. Fortunately, I have responsibilities.
"..what a statesman."
I GREE
Fuck yeah.
love gaddafi
@203207ab Is that meant as a term of endearment?
*popcorn and chair*

Classic as always. BUT WHERE IS HIS QUIFF????
@Sumpfdotterschnalle You too? I moved onto a different point, as my above comment states. I moved onto another point I had regarding how I felt about the show's audience. When did I specify the (non-existent) constant clapping remark was applicable to this specific video? I was speaking in relation to the show generally.
Hey look below, Gaddafi has a TH-cam account!
I´ll take it as "no, I never been there, I never met anyone who has been there, nor anyone who has lived there, yet I will be the smartass because I read a blog".
Modern, my ass.
Is this show still going on? The only reason I ever used to watch it was Charlie Brooker.
@itsmarmalade Gaddafi was a HERO!!. he was the popular leader of Libya.. he didn't even hold an official position in the government.. he has my respects
I remember this making fun of late Muammar Gaddafi :D
The people of Libya stood in support Gaddafi when NATO was blowing their country's infrastructure to bits at the mammoth rally in green square an estimated 1 million people turned out to support Gaddafi. How many turned up at rallies to support NATO and their 'rebels'? A few hundred at most.

well if being a murderous despot makes one 'great' then I think I for one am very happy to be a 'mouse'
@Tr1ple off course he is hes not doing stand up comedy its a live show and he is very good on it
@iantothem what?? what are you, where are you from, what do you do?? im just fascinated that someone can not appreciate Mr Brooker.
Yes. As well as the help of Saudi Arabia to increase influence in the region, killing Gaddafi is a powerful and charismatic politician.
Charlie Brooker complains about Tony Blair getting off with Gheddafi: what should we Italian say when Berlusconi kissed his ring, proclaimed him his friend and invited him in Rome and even learned bunga bunga from him...
You didn't see the three other comments I posted then?
Haha! Look at his funny clothes!

@BooMeRLiNSKi I am so excited that you sent me a message I was starting to think I was invisible lol.
ahh, mr brooker. thanks once again for being the voice of the people who know what happening, Gaddafi is apperently a bad person according to Cameron etc and the news, and it wasnt long ago when he was a good guy. i say our government can be just as bad.

it is very obvious why 0 dislikes. :p
@dogsnoses why?
bbbaaaa ... :)). trezitiva ma :)
@bonermont I like that you suggested toking first. They do need to mellow the fuck out.
@TheMysticOctopus
39 now. Keep me updated.
@xaviqaz really? I heard the rebels have taken tripoli
I haven't followed your argument but 'said' refers to the spoken word. 'Wrote' applies to writing.
I don't blame Charlie for being on the anti-Gaddafi bandwagon, I was on it too until I bothered reading into the situation beyond what the mainstream media said.

@BooMeRLiNSKi In relation to what?
Lol Pilkington
@JumpYouFuckerJump you'd agree with most reviews then. They said the show only had two flaws, The audience and Lauren...
I think if we couldn't see the audience (like the daily show etc) it might work with them
RASTAMOUSE!
I cried laughing at this, and find the show in general a decent watch.
tbh though, the show would be just as good, if not better with just the 3 guys.
@CrypticNymph I think I removed that comment,so charlies off the hook on that issue,
@RenonKoral Col. Khalifa Haftar, currently leading the rebels, set up the anti-Gaddafi Libyan National Army with CIA and Saudi backing. For the last 20 years he's been living quietly in Virginia before returning to Benghazi to lead the fight against Gaddafi.

Day 74: Supplies are running low and still no closer to find out if BooMeRKiNSKi or KingsWorld2010 started this troll war. I fear i'll never know...
BYE!
Hahahaha to be fair that was an easy mistake to make.
So upon asking for examples you come up with "Google it". Thank you very much, I have sufficient knowledge about usage of Google but I was asking you, not Larry Page and Sergej Brin.
@TheMysticOctopus He got blow of a bridge and ran into a drain
Good segment.
Although I fucking hate the audience on the show, particularly during the Mitchell interviews. They're clapping about things they don't understand and do so pretty much every few minutes.
@BooMeRLiNSKi Well we all like to make fun of the pollies I guess

Why does Gaddafi look like Cheech?
What land are some of these people on here from,you forget how mental and nuts people actually are. then you read half of this crap. Hero.i think some people are not sure what the word means. Any way good video ,made my eyes water a bit from laughter.
audio's pretty fucked. It's in Stereo but only on the left channel
Laugh at Gaddafi now. You won´t laugh soon
@TomStraub Or maybe he's a comedic entertainer and not a a paranoid investigative reporter.
