Kelvin McKenzie on Any Questions
What is about Kelvin McKenzie, he does not lend himself to the radio or television very well. My refrigerator could articulate much better than him. He has an over-valued idea of himself and all the media organs follow suit. Why is the licence fees paid on these rather talentless individuals.
Kelvin appeared on Any Questions tonight. He was crap. He had nothing original to say - he was parrotting the Richard Littlejohn line!
For all his right-wing faults, Littlejohn comes accross as McKenzie's intellectual superior and someone who is quite able to use the press, tv and radio extremely well. So why are we paying for the likes of McKenzie to appear on Radio.

The Sun Petition - Sharon Shoesmith
It seems that The Sun Newspaper would like to see this scenario created around the home of Haringey's Director of Children and Young People, Sharon Shoesmith with regard to her handling of the "Baby P" case.
I was listening to BBC Radio 4's PM, and heard an extremely sanctimonious, self-righteous and pompous Political Editor from The Sun shovel us some hot bullshit about he and The Sun were not causing a witch hunt (I bet his smouldering knickers were singeing the hair of his bollocks when he said that!) but that the paper wanted to hunt down those responsible for the death of Baby P. I guess that if those responsible are burnt at the stake for their negligence, we would get this response: IT'S THE SUN WHAT DONE IT!
All this is mere cynical sensationalism in an attempt to colonise the memory of an abused and innocent child to flog copy. As if this paper cares about anyone at all, let alone a child. This campaign strikes me as somewhat crass.
