Wot! No Laurie Penny?
Please let me get through to Dame Polly so I can ask her about the time she removed her stepdaughter from a comprehensive school she was happy in and then transferred her to a fee-paying school where she was miserable.
Dodger Lane says
Oh come on, she’s usually in Tuscany this time of the year, getting away from all this frightful and vulgar commercialism.
Jim Cain says
My word! I might ring and speak to Jonathan Freedland. He discovered football a couple of years ago, and his columns on the subject were unintentional comedic masterpieces. Like the bloke off the Fast Show “Come on soccer! Pork pie anyone?”
Johnny Concheroo says
“I used to support Arsenal, bit I thought I’d give Manchester United a go this year”
“Good goal sir! It was for the other side of course, but still a great goal”
Johnny Concheroo says
“but” Shit!

Can we buy John Harris a trip to the barbers so that he doesn’t have to carry on pretending it’s 1996?
Gatz says
I always assume something very odd must be happening to his ears under there.
Moose the Mooche says
Yes, he’s overhearing a conversation between Justine’n’Damon about how that nice Mr Blair isn’t going to make the world a better place.
Fin59 says
Look, I’m really concerned about refugees and everyone really. Especially the really disadvantaged like the ones who don’t hold non-exec directorships at charities. And everyone. And climate change.
Moose the Mooche says
While we’re at it, can we have a whip-round for the dozens of unpaid interns who do most of the actual work at the Graun?
niscum says
No.
Trust me every one of those interns went to private schools, grew up in Hampstead or Kensington and have family in the industry.
They don’t need the money. If they did they couldn’t afford to do the job in the first place, and they wouldn’t have been asked either.
Moose the Mooche says
Well, it’s nice of the Graun to reinforce the class system it claims to despise, dontcha think?
ip33 says
Yeah what a bunch of tossers, raising money for people displaced by war through no fault of their own.
The least they could have done is made a crap charity record like washed-up rockstars do, that doesn’t raise their profiles and make them even more money.
Bastards!
Vincent says
More fool interns writing the Guardian in thrall to the sainted (and very well-rewarded) leftist establishment, as they help to maintain a delusional sense of moral superiority. Likewise for the equivalent on other papers on the other side of the political spectrum.
The Actual North says
Yep ip33, raising money for a good cause.
These people will burn in hell.
Jim Cain says
Guys, there’s nothing wrong with having a sense of humour. Imagine if it was The Daily Mail raising money for Help for Heroes. “For a special time only, YOU can call up and speak with Richard Littlejohn, Katie Hopkins, Peter Hitchens & Quentin Letts!’ You’d be taking the piss and you know it.
Moose the Mooche says
But that would never happen. Peter Hitchens doesn’t believe in telephones.
ernietothecentreoftheearth says
And Littlejohn lives in Florida, so most of the money raised would go on his phone bill.
ip33 says
I wouldn’t be taking the piss I’d be checking it wasn’t April 1st.
Vulpes Vulpes says
I’m looking forward to Rory The Tory’s telethon raising money for the poor people of Carlisle for whom the new Government-paid-for flood defences held fine, except it was just that they weren’t quite high enough to stop the water this time. We can all take the piss then too.
Vulpes Vulpes says
How sad, to prostitute one’s intelligence so poorly and insult everyone else’s at the same time.

Moose the Mooche says
Bloody hell.
He’s a very intelligent and principled man and he might end up becoming (in)famous for this.
It’s like if Bowie’s only hit had been The Laughing Gnome.
The Actual North says
Floods should be no problem, this guy likes a challenge.

Moose the Mooche says
I retract everything because that is a f888ing excellent hat.
Vincent says
Taking the piss out of politicians has to be the prime directive. I’d like to see a lot more lese-majeste from youngsters, but they are so skint they don’t have the freedom we had to do this back in the day.
The Actual North says
I would give my third testicle to talk to Littlejohn on the phone.
Moose the Mooche says
Ha!
You stand revealed as the legendary Soviet shotputter, Hudianika Bolokov.
The Actual North says
F*ckin’ intellectuals.
What does lese-majeste mean?
I reckon Hitchens will know, must mention it in my telegram.
Vincent says
lese-majeste = taking the piss out of your ‘betters’; being disrespectful about the aristocracy or other authorities.
Baron Harkonnen says
I see they put back the start time from 09.30am to 10am, the servants must have been slow with breakfast.
The Actual North says
Thanks Vincent, I must of been playin’ hooky when that one came up at school.
I will ensure I slip it into conversation around the festive dinner table whilst giving the Royals a good shoeing.
paulwright says
Actually, one of the interns was a half Asian kid from Bradford, son of a teacher and a social worker. His sister is in my kids class. He needs to be paid.
I hate unpaid internships.
