The UK government has said it is continuing to press the US to get him released.

Clearly not very much.

When he's raising awareness for a man still in prison after being cleared for release years ago (on the basis he might have a few stories about MI6 to tell) then I suspect a few do. Or is your opinion non one cares based on you not liking his comedy?

Yes he has raised awareness, and I fervently hope he successfully starves himself.

More like raising awareness for self promotion.
