Put your skinny latte down, and choose your favourite right-wing British newspaper columnist

Could have just text messaged Ashley, surely?

xpost My Dad has always read the Daily Mail, despite voting Labour most of his life. He used to get it for the crossword, he said, and to be fair it was a decent crossword. I think he felt above buying a red top but wouldn't buy a broadsheet cos they were snobby or too expensive or something. Being a teenage DM reader probably did a lot to fill me with the directionless incoherent bile that I stil can't shake off today.

John Derbyshire doesn't count?

xxpost It's just that I only really know any of these columnists thru Private Eye spoofs so when I come across one for real I'm still staggered at how fucking bad they are.

"should people really be aloud" haw

I know, right?

girls allowed

Clarkson because he's always happy to criticise the right.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Anne Widdecombe, jesus.

Hilario that while itv1 has Widdecombe telling street prostitutes to STOP IT YOU FILTHY CREATURES itv2 has Billie Pipper giving knob jobs to 600 men.

Melanie Phillips 1

^^^mods, we got a live one here

lol two oborne props on thread, no votes.

Well down to ILE lurker Alan Tew of the Alan Tew Orchestra You See for voting for JY!

Reading Littlejohn's column in The Sun was something I looked forward to in my early to mid teens. I guess there was some odd appeal in someone who could anger me so much and so consistently. Reading that prostitutes article was like a return to the good ol' days. :'(

I agree with Clarkson for the win here. I can't think of too many pick yr fave polls where that'd be the case.

I am trying this "skinny latte" for the first time! it is a brave new world

I aim to be a dom object of hate!!

Well you're breathing, so that's a start.

I'm not really sure what the point of a skinny latte actually is.

neither am I but I'm enjoying it

I'm not really sure what the point of a right-wing British newspaper columnist actually is.

Sad that Dom Lawson didn't get the props in this thread.

There's 6 Clarkson boosters that want a good banning, for starters.

No Stephen Pollard?

His latest piece of crap is a wonder to behold.

remember this: statistics can be used to support almost any argument

including his.

Also a picture of knives with the words "Knives are everywhere in britain to-day"...

The whole jist of that article is Ooh, it's not as good as the old days which sums up the Daily Mail really.

TERRIFYING FACT: there is at least one knife in every house in Britain.

Britain's most dangerous place...

Seriously, look at the toaster underneath the microwave, you could easily bang your head getting your toast. Not like in the olden days when people didn't have toasters.

They had a scaremongering article in the Mail yesterday about gas knives that freeze your innards. :D

BAN THIS FILTH: http://www.damnilikethat.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/the_ex.jpg

XXP
Also a bottle with BINGE DRINKING BOOZE HELL BRITAIN written all over it.

sorry about big size

but the internet is also flooded with knives and i think the Mail should lead the crackdown.

What's the alternative? Throw your vote away?

Origami flip knive!
