    If even the Bard of Florida couldn’t make it up, does that mean someone else had to do it for him?

    Is it really news that “Call me” Dave doesn’t wear a suit… or is that just the most interesting thing he’s done recently.

    If Littlejohn is “Labour’s most incisive critic” then

    (a) this must be some modish use of the word incisive that I have not previously come across, and

    (b) we’re in for 5 more years of Labour.

    The blog tabloid watch demonstrates almost daily how LITTLE JOHN makes up stories, refuses to actually acknowledge facts and regularly engages in churnalism

    Howard and Hilda for number 10, then.
    Now people are taking more pills than ever, guess what papers regularily print miracle pill stories?
    By ‘tea’ I’m hoping they mean ‘dinner’ because £2.50 for a cuppa is not a bargain.

    ooooh leather jacket and jeans, how dressed down, he really is one of us. Has Andy ‘I didn’t do it’ Coulson fully taken over the editorial of this paper or is he just writing the front pages, hmmm?

  9. Fruitbat

    Given that Littlejohn recently responded to claims that he makes things up by quoting a story he also made up, I’m going to take a guess and say that his ‘uproarious new series’ is going to be entirely made up as well.

  10. Stevie H

    Littlejohn’s column is titled “I never imagined the town hall Nazis would go quite so mad” and half-way down he’s got a picture of Gordon Brown pointing with his arm raised.

    The man’s a genius. So clever.

    Hypochondria? In Britain? How could that have happened?

    *hastily discounts the Express as a possible contributory factor*.

    I’d take 16 prescriptions a day if I had to read any the drivel advertised on the front page of this paper

    The “pill-popping” is Gormless Gordon Mugabe McBroon’s latest zany Nazi communist PC idea to turn us all into zombie robot multi-culturalists.

    “Stealth tax”; why the singular? According to the tabloid press, all taxes seem to be “stealth”, afixing a buzz-word that’ll make readers’ morning coffee froth with their forced rage. Is it simply “stealth” if there hasn’t been a national referendum on its introduction?

  16. JohnD

    I saw today’s copy of The Mail being read in my local library. Littlejohn had been given two pages, rather than his usual one, to fill with his useless fabrications. I felt relieved when the fellow reading the paper turned the page without reading it; I suppose even some Mail readers think he’s awful.

  17. Tom (iow)

    “…madness even he couldn’t make up”

    So it normally is made up?

    “According to the tabloid press, all taxes seem to be “stealth””

    Exactly. Like when ‘bogus’ asylum seeker was in vogue, it just referred to all refugees and this was automatically understood.

    Although I think some taxes could properly be described as stealth, such as selling off mobile phone airwaves for billions.

  18. another_pleb

    “…madness even he couldn’t make up”

    Or are they saying that e doesn’t have an imagination.

    I could say that New Labour are using stealth taxes GM crops to raise an army of giant vampire crabs which will lay their eggs in babies brains and turn them into labour Voting zombies which will send Britain to Hell in a handcart.

    There you go shocking madness that I just made up.

    To be fair, I have a medical condition, where I have to get a regular perscription. Like 2 percriptions every week.

    So over 100 a year. And I’m really not very ill at all. Just a little thing.

    So, I’d suggest that sick people generally do drive up the average a bit!

    Bearing in mind some poor people with cancer have to take 20-30 different medications, and all.

    The actual truth to this story is that sick people take a lot of medication to help them feel better.

    Which drives up the average, when you add it all togethor, and divide it by 65 million

  20. Jake

    As in, I technically don’t have to take medication. But I feel a heck a lot better every day when I do.

    A world without medication for me would be like feeling hungover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    That’s what it’s like

    As for Daves funky clothes.

    One of the worst days of my life, in 2007. I was reading the Mail online (for comedy of course. As in 50% of their readership) where I noticed a similar article on how cool Dave’s shoes are.

    I nearly had a heart attack, when I noticed that I was actually wearing the exact same pair of converse, while reading the articles.

    Very expensive, ultra rare. I felt very good until I read that article.

    Quickly disposed of. Never worn since!

    Don’t like being branded as an ageing, Smiths listening, hisptser/ thatchrite!

    Last week: The drugs they won’t let you have on prescription!

    This week: The drugs they let you have on prescription!

    Classic journalism.

    “Bearing in mind some poor people with cancer have to take 20-30 different medications, and all.”

    Is that all the things that apparently “cure cancer” (see Mail and Express ad nauseum)?
