It's been seven months since Stephen "Birdshit" Green's Christian Voice lost its blasphemy case against the BBC for its screening of Jerry Springer: the Opera in 2005. But now the BBC is claiming its pound of flesh.
The BBC's director general, Mark Thompson, and the show's producer, Jonathan Thoday, were awarded £90,000 in costs. But Green is unable to pay, and is facing bankruptcy.
"They are demanding their pound of flesh," Green says. "There's no commercial sense in pursuing someone worth a fraction of the money owed, so I can think of nothing but spite driving them on. Thompson earns 20 times what I'm worth in a year."
The BBC has now served a statutory demand for the money, which is likely to bring Green to the bankruptcy courts.
"Whatever happens is in the hands of the Lord," Green philosophises.

No wonder he's in trouble jeebus hands nas holes.
