    So where is the clip? Just a still image on my iPad. Not very funny. Get with the times, jeez!

    @Gfitz45 I’m pretty sure those pad-I things don’t play flash movies….

    Loved it!! Great stuff.

  4. oli says:

    yeah, ditto…no clip showing on my ipad, just an image. not a bad image but still, just an image.

  5. fnuts says:

    It’s a Flash video. The iPad doesn’t do Flash–something which has been very widely discussed. Get with the times, jeez!

    Video played for me. At the risk of sounding as closed-minded as the Sun itself, I’d say anyone who reads red-tops- and takes them anything like seriously- needs their head examining.

  7. Peter says:

    @Gfitz45: the video is directly below the still image. Jeez!

    Brilliant stuff but sadly inaccurate…pagans, neo-pagans and druids have all had the Sun treatment…and ben called witches…

    Good ‘rap’ Charlie, and somewhat remeniscent of the Poison Girl’s 1980 single ‘Persons Unknown’. Maybe you remember it?

    luscious twinkle: Actually, and this clip unfortunately cuts it off, Charlie then goes on to say “Oh, unless you count the times they HAVE had a go at witches” (not an exact quote) and shows Sun headlines doing just that.

    Spent £400+ on an ipad and you cant play flash video? What a bargain.
