Like a malevolent occupying force, Sacha Baron Cohen’s new satirical film The Dictator swept into London for its premiere Thursday night. “Now, while I am here, I would like to grant political asylum to [Rupert] Murdoch,” Baron Cohen, in character as fictional despot Admiral General Aladeen, said after arriving on the red carpet in an orange Lamborghini carried on a tow truck. “We also have phone hacking in Wadiya,” the comedian said, referring to the fictional country he rules in the movie. “Everyone who has a phone, we hack off their hands.” The comedian also took aim at German leader Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
