Mr Jay praises the British press:
“My impression is that the press in the UK could well qualify as the most unruly and irreverent in the world, and I have travelled widely; it is fearless, and it speaks its mind. To be described as ‘unruly and irreverent’ would be regarded by most editors and journalists as a badge of honour, not of aspersion. Many would argue that these qualities make the press in the UK the best in the world…”

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.”
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.
Hes right you know!
Which is exactly why the BBC hates them so much.
If they would add accuracy, a spirit of inquiry, moral courage and good English to their accomplishments, then we would indeed have a press to be proud of.
Another semi-secret post – I love this stuff. Let’s see who else finds it. Coudos to the first 3.
WTF are Coudos? Are they like Euros?
I haven’t a kudo!
Best in the world? My arse!
Is it? Can we have a photo?
