Fergus Finlay: Cohen’s right — Facebook and Twitter are making life ‘Misérable’

SACHA Baron Cohen has it right. Now there’s a sentence I thought I’d never write. He’s a comedian, and not everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I don’t get him at all. I’ve never found him funny, and as a life-long fan of Les Misérables, I thought they almost spoiled the movie version entirely by casting him as Threnardier, the grasping inn-keeper.
