tbh s-mo is right. the NS can fuck off with alastair campbell as guest ed.

i would've voted liz jones in the original poll due to her terrifying insanity

Nick Cohen v Peter Hitchens, at the Orwell Prize Debate.

Hate speech imo, particularly as English teeth >>>>>> Irish teeth

Young bones groan, and the rocks below say "Throw your skinny latte down, son"

Amazing that there was a Britain before Katie Hopkins, a mere eight years ago.

How many in the original poll, actual politicians aside, have more power (audience/influence-wise) now than then?

The political sketch writer Quentin Letts from Herefordshire has apologised for an article he wrote mocking the disability of broadcaster Andrew Marr.
In a Daily Mail review of the new Robert Peston show on ITV, Letts described Marr as "Captain-Hop-Along, growling away on BBC One, throwing his arm about like a tipsy conductor".
Marr had a stroke in January 2013.

That Giles Coren has deleted his account after this exchange is one of those great Twitter tales, it truly is.@JosieLong who's tweet about the astoundingly bad people included in this new Times Radio thing & responded to the exchange below with incredible dignity, is awesome. pic.twitter.com/mrWV9eqy0u
