Worst. Job. Eva.
Wiping this guy's arse.
[Hamza] is unable to clean himself as he could do himself an injury. So prison officials have hired a male nurse named Harry to perform the task.
A prison source said: "He's known as 'Dirty Harry'. This guy has got one of the worst jobs in the world. His main reason for being there is to clean Hamza's backside. Everyone's having a laugh about it. But Hamza can't be left unclean. It would be a health hazard."
Hamza is being held in top-security Belmarsh jail, in South East London, as the US attempts to extradite him on terror charges.
The nurse - recruited from a private agency - spends up to two hours a day with him.
His other duties include helping the 47-year-old cleric to wash, cut his toenails, clip his beard and change his clothes.
Although employed mainly to look after Hamza, "Harry" performs similar duties for another inmate who lost his limbs.
Couldn't they just put a roll of toilet paper on the hook, or something?

I'm all for that happening, really. Just imagine the potential headlines...
