  Jeremy Hardy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeremy Hardy (born 17 July 1961) is a British alternative comedian.
To BBC Radio 4 audiences Jeremy Hardy is also famous for his incredibly off-key singing, as showcased in I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and for the socialist rants, in which he loses himself, on the News Quiz.
However, Jeremy Hardy has always made clear that he supported Danny McNamee (whose conviction was overturned in 1998, and who himself has consistently denied any sympathy for the IRA) as the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

 Movie: Jeremy Hardy vs The Israeli Army   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Over Easter 2002, Jeremy Hardy found himself in Bethlehem, just as the Israeli army were preparing for another incursion into the Palestinian town.
Hardy was under no illusions about what one man could do against the world's fourth largest army, but decided to go anyway - it seemed better than the alternative holiday, a trip to Florida with the in-laws.
And it all ends on an inspiring note, as Hardy and his companions manage to cross an army line to bring vital medical supplies to a village isolated by the Israelis for months.
