Topic: Who is your favorite living British person?

I'd have to say Richard Dawkins, I'm sure he's bored of the subject of religion, but he continues to try to help humanity progress beyond its foolish and dangerous supernatural beliefs. It's an admirable cause, no matter how futile it seems at times. If you're a fan of Dawkins, check out his documentary 'The Genius Of Charles Darwin'. It's always baffling when people deny evolution, Dawkins confronts some of those people.

@250,900 (tek)Stephen Hawking should have been Knighted by now. I am disappoint. Here's a picture of Einstein and Hawkins.
@250,901 (Fats !lbanned8o6)
I've heard of Hancock, but I don't recall seeing/reading anything by him. Do you have any recommendations?

Fingerprints of the Gods is his coolest book. He has a good deal of documentaries on Youtube also.

@250,915 (Fats !lbanned8o6)I'll check out some of his docs.

It takes awhile to get a decent collection for a thread like that, I'll do one when I get enough rounded up. Tesla and Twain.

Richard Dawkins, Salman Rushdie, Stephen Hawking, Brian Cox, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry come to mind.

I can't pick just one, but my very favourite countrymen would have to be: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Richard Dawkins and Stephan Fry.
