Here are the clickies.

The Mark Thomas website (http://www.mtcp.co.uk/)

Channel 4: The Mark Thomas Product (http://www.channel4.com/news/microsites/M/mark_thomas/we.html)

The first of these goes to an extraordinary site that attempts to present disturbing facts in a fun kind of way, and just about gets away with it. Light-hearted diversions include a chance to vote on what you'd charge for killing Bush (the "I'd do it for nothing" option is out in front, of course, polling around 78%).

The Channel 4 site has much info and some very useful links for people with enquiring minds - making the point that even in the UK, where our governments are obsessively secretive, there is a vast amount of info out there, if you know where to look.

It speaks volumes for investigative journalism in the UK that most of the serious digging these days is left to comedians like Mark Thomas and Jeremy Hardy.
