because there's nothing like mass murder that makes you want to bring teh funny.
Evil Zia Ul Haq was enrolled on an eight-day “comedy workshop” at Whitemoor jail, along with murderers and rapists. The 18 cons were given lessons in stand-up, comic drama, improvisation and scriptwriting.
Once they “graduated” they were due to get a certificate and display their new talents with a comedy show for fellow lags and guards.
Last night Justice Secretary Jack Straw canned the “totally unacceptable” course after The Sun alerted him. He also vetoed a plan by the Category A Cambridgeshire prison to set up its own comedy club.
Ul Haq, 29, was given an 18-year stretch last year for his part in a plot to bomb buildings in London and the rest of the UK. He was a member of a sleeper cell controlled by British al-Qaeda “general” Dhiren Barot, 35, who is serving a minimum of 30 years.
Ul Haq, of Paddington, West London, has a degree in construction management. And he was recruited to advise on locating bombs so buildings would collapse when they exploded.
Prison sounds kinda fun over there in the UK what with the prison comedy clubs and Halloween parties paid for by the taxpayer.
