Martin Bashir is Officially Britain's 5th Most Hated Person As previously reported by MJNI, British television's Channel 4 has been collecting votes for the 100 Worst Britons currently alive.
The 100 Worst Britons programme transmitted on the evening of Saturday 10th May.
Martin Bashir was voted the fifth Worst Briton, following his performance in the Living With Michael Jackson documentary, beating an astonishing array of revolting people.
MJNI was involved with finding contributors for the programme, and our team member Ben Wilson was featured. Ben expressed his anger that Bashir was part of the reason that Michael was being known not for his music, or his humanitarian endeavours, but rather for more salacious reasons.
Celebs and punters queued up to pour scorn on Bahir. Uri Gellar, who has his own reasons for being angry at Bashir, said: "I don't ever want to see Martin Bashir again." Other comments:
"Slippery, two faced."
"Lost all credibility."
"Tony Blair of the interview - oozing insincerity."
And from Channel 4 newsreader, Krishan Guru-Murphy: "He took on someone who is fantastically popular which was Michael Jackson. If you take on someone like that, you are going to be hated."
100 Worst Britons was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the BBC's series earlier this year, called "Great Britons", in which the British public chose their 100 best British people.
