Oh, didn't know the throat bit. The letter to Hirsi Ali (who is

by the way now back in the country with her poisonous crap) was fixed to his body with the knife.

And brave ? I think you have to know it is offensive. There is no other reason for it. It reminds me of an artist I knew whose dream was to build a bomb-proof chamber with a red button which read "do not press this button". If they did, the bomb would go off.

He called it art. In fact what he DID do was a variation -he sat in a glass-surrounded chamber with a knife next to him, linked to apparatus, and a button outside the chamber which clearly told the visitor that if they pressed it, the knife would slash the artist (Kevin). Apparently each person who pressed it recoiled in horror as the knife actually DID cut him.

He was a mess. But at least he was the only one hurt, apart from the visitors' kids who were clearly upset (so I heard).

Artists are nobs much of the time.
