John Bird was Born in Bulwell, Nottingham, England, and attended High Pavement Grammar School, Nottingham. He briefly joined the Socialist Party of Great Britain, while at the school. He went on to King's College, Cambridge (where he was to meet John Fortune). He became well known during the television satire boom of the 1960s, appearing in That Was The Week That Was, the title of which was coined by Bird. Bird was intended by Ned Sherrin for David Frost's role in the series, but was committed elsewhere. He also appeared in the television programmes Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life, A Very Peculiar Practice and My Father Knew Lloyd George, as well as in The Secret Policeman's Other Ball.
He has also acted straight and comic roles in several television series and in films such as A Dandy in Aspic (1968), 30 Is a Dangerous Age, Cynthia (1968), This, That and the Other (1969), Take A Girl Like You (1970), Jabberwocky (1977), The Seven-Per-Cent Solution (1976), and Yellow Pages (1988).

John Bird and John Fortune (the Long Johns) brilliantly, and accurately, describing the mindset of the investment banking community in this satirical interview.
The Big Issue founder John Bird electrified the House of Lords with a maiden speech that spoke of his decades of fight to beat poverty, indicated that he wants to bring lessons learned to bear during his time as a peer, and also left some members a little confused... In a colourful and fierce 13 minutes, which, said Lord Patel, “will go down in the records of maiden speeches as astounding and eccentric,” Bird raised laughs by thanking his probation officer, raised eyebrows when he said “bugger” and focused on the achievements of The Big Issue.

These tracks are taken from a cd called "The Collected Broadcasts of Idi Amin". The guy who is doing the voice is the well known topical comedian John Bird. In order to find any of these tracks funny you need to kinda know about Idi Amin. OK here we go. Idi Amin was a Ugandan dictator (Watch "the last king of Scotland " if your that interested) who was essentially a complete meat-head. He had no sense of the word negotiate, it was his way or no way. He repeatedly beat up his ministers and killed lots of them when they wouldn't agree with him. He also kicked all the Asians out of Uganda for some reason. He also always thought there was a Coup de ta against him. Yeh A complete Moron.

Hit http://morpheusatloppers.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/morpheus-on-dont-ask-dont-tell/ for more on gays in the forces. [update: John Fortune - R.I.P.]
John is Founder and Editor-In-Chief of the The Big Issue. He was born into poverty, brought up in care, and has lived through a lot. His life's journey has included spells as a thief, prison inmate, artist and poet. Now an established iconoclast, activist and publisher, John Bird is the force behind The Big Issue, the world's most successful street magazine. He is an inspirational business leader with an outstanding record of using business as a tool for social change. John has spoken at the UN in New York, Nairobi and Istanbul, Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. The UN Scroll of Honour, an MBE and the 2005/6 Beacon Prize for Creative Giving are just three of the many accolades and awards he has received. Since founding The Big Issue in 1991 with Gordon Roddick, John has overseen its d...
A credit crunch is a sudden reduction in the general availability of loans (or credit), or a sudden increase in the cost of obtaining loans from banks. There are a number of reasons why banks may suddenly increase the costs of borrowing or make borrowing more difficult. It may be due to an anticipated decline in value of the collateral used by the banks when issuing loans, or even an increased perception of risk regarding the solvency of other banks within the banking system. It may be due to a change in monetary conditions (for example, where the central bank suddenly and unexpectedly raises interest rates or reserve requirements) or even may be due to the central government imposing direct credit controls or instructing the banks not to engage in further lending activity. Backgroun...
John Bird and John Fortune at their very best as the "Long Johns"; John Fortune is George Parr of the Genghis Khan Foundation, "the independent thinktank", talking about drugs policy. This is from 1996, I believe. Sorry about the quality, it came via a long play VHS and a TV capture card some time ago.

I am Jan Brady,
and you must believe that
or forever perish in your doubt
I am the soul embodiment of Jan,
and I exist to serve the Brady alter
for I have become one with another soul,
and I have no need for others!
* Chorus*
Jan Brady has returned
took over my soul and body
then the hairstyle flew up all by itself
never to be changed
I am Jan, Jan I am
I like to eat green eggs and ham
so now you must believe and worship me
or else a lost soul you will be
I pick up my lunch from Alice our house keeper
I go to school with my Brady brothers
we live in the same house
but we come from different mothers!
*Chorus*
I know I cracked the family picture with my bike
I was'nt wearing my glasses
but I fixed everything with a bat of my eye lashes
with my wig, I'll be a smash
polyester plaid bell bottoms,
I ain't no TRASH!!!!
*Chorus*
