Emily Maitlis in “Doctor Who” Garb

Some other media commentators will say it is unfair to put Emily Maitlis on the frontpage of a newspaper over her dress, Guido is not one of them. After all a small forest was destroyed to put the resulting shock and outrage into print following Jeremy Paxman going tie-less. The Daily Mail has covered Maitlis flashing a bit of leg and covering her legs in tight leather trousers and stiletto boots. It does however seem a tad unfair to compare her to a Doctor Who baddie…

Fashion conscious readers will want to know that her outfit is a £1,175 bespoke Suzannah Crabb dress described as a “Future Retro Cocktail Dress … re-inspired with a lengthened skirt part, and 3/4 sleeves. This couture silk version is individually tailored in London from 100% Silk. A fun, flattering and versatile event dress with drama enough for a unique party to black tie affair. An ultimate special event dress with  presence. The playful silhouette is both unique and flattering.” Perfect for News at Ten, which has gone downhill since they stopped wearing black-tie…

    It’s a trvial comparison to make, but more substatively, don’t these kind of outfits distract from the news, for a variety of reasons?

      surely that’s the point – the aim is no substance –

      remember the edinburgh tv festival some years ago?

      the head of bbc ‘news’ announced that the public was going to get the ‘news’ it wanted to ‘see’

      and who pays for that tripe?

    Just leave this kind of trivial crap on Media will you Guido, where we can all safely ignore it. There’s not a lot of politics in a newsreader’s frock, is there?

          That’s exactly why traffic warden persons wear detachable ties.

          By the way, is she wearing her poppy upside down? Is that also a sign of distress? If she sits under an overhead fan or a/c unit, she will develop a nasty chesty cough wearing a neckline like that.

    I don’t suppose that this clever woman has some very clever income tax arrangements. PAYE is for the little people. Perhaps Andrew Marr could get to the bottom of this.

    Is she a freelancer, working for a company with dividend payments. Are the dresses, the leather trousers, the boots counted as necessary expenses for the normal line of work.

    The News should be read, at all times, by Brian Perkins (Dinner Jacket, Bow tie etc) and should be purely informative.

    It should always end with – “…no British people were involved…”

    Alternatively Neil Nunes wearing a Rastafarian hat.

    I find Maitlis’s crude attempts to ‘make love to the camera’ particularly nauseating. She ain’t pretty, ain’t particularly clever and to call herself a journalist is an insult to real journalists.

    * Nuke plants to be built by Johnny foreigner.

    * NHS Trust collapses accelerating.

    * You hate Richard Branson, but his NHS contracts are causing a stir, yet strangely Borisido Boriswkes doesn’t see this as thread material. HQ on to you again…LOL

    Golly, a grotesque plastic entity the BBC foists on us in a usually blatant, never-ending social engineering attempt to destroy British civilisation as we know it, and now Emily Maitless gets compared to this poor Sontaran?

    Sheesh, and next another compo claim for licence fee payers to uniquely fund in the offing once Shami gets her dander up decrying such mental abuse of poor out-of-planeters merely excercising their alien right to kill and maim around obscure parts of Cardiff.

    She’s the same one who, a couple of years ago, when interviewing an MP about wages and expenses, was asked by the MP what HER wages were. Without the blink of an eye she came out with she was on ‘ONLY £92,000 a year’!.
    £92,000 a year?. For sitting on your arse and reading an ‘auto-cue’?. If SHE’S on ‘only’ £92,000 a year, what the fuck are all those other wankers at the BBC on?.

      No, that was Carrie Gracie. Unfortunately the thick Scottish Labour MP (ironically I think it may have actually been Jim Devine) ruined it by then asking her if she thought she deserved a salary double what an MP got. Except of course it isn’t, it’s only about half as much again! No wonder they got into trouble with expenses if they can’t even do primary school level maths. Oh that and the fact they are corrupt. Maitless is more high-profile than Gracie so it’s a safe bet she’ll have busted through into the 6 figures salary bracket. Nice work if you can get it.

        Thanks for the correction.
        Anyway, everybody should do the same as I did and simply cancel your TV licence fee. Within 2 days of cancelling it, you will receive a ‘treatening’ letter. Simply write ‘Fuck Off’ across it and send it back.

          Maitlis is fluent in Spanish, Italian, French and more importantly BBC bullshit.

    I will not let them ruin me.
    I will not let them ruin me again.
    There is fire inside the tree.
    Flames of knowing kissing me.
    I have waited long to see a sign
    from you.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
