Looks like Kelvin has upset his fans with his controversial views on the Jubilee

A fantastic week, but why was it so white?

He stands accused of demanding a "coloured" royal family in a significant proportion of the top rated comments.
I believe the literate wing of the BNP have mobilised there troops.

PS - It's fun to see Kelvin having a taste of his own diarrhoea.

Ah, one of those fights where you don't care who wins, as long as plenty of blood's spilt.

Not the reaction I would have predicted from the far-right. I'd have thought they'd have gone down the road of "they didn't turn out because they're disloyal to Britain which is all the more reason to send 'em back innit".

There were some of those, not as many as the first lot among the 20 or so top rated.

I imagine a bunch of BNPers who developed a phobia around Queen Diana and King Dodi.

Unemployment in the North-East is at a painful 11.5 per cent — the highest in the nation — so as I chatted with the waitress at a Durham restaurant on Saturday night I expected her story to be one of doom and gloom. Not so.
She was a 22-year-old Russian who graduated from the city’s university a year earlier and had found work in a local engineering company.
Needing to make her money up, she had taken a job waiting tables on Friday and Saturday nights at the restaurant in Aykley Heads.
So while many local youngsters struggle to find work she came 1,500 miles, was educated in a foreign language and managed to find two jobs.
Surely this young lady proves work is out there. Either young Britons are not trying hard enough or prefer putting their energy into going down to the benefits office.

One person - ONE PERSON - is lucky enough to get work, and apparently that means there's work out there. Note also that the engineering job clearly pays so badly she needs to top it up with another role.

So there's your real story - study full time, and end up in work that pays so badly you need to work 9-5 and then two evenings a week to make ends meet.

1,500 miles from home.

Earlier this year I went a wedding in the Lake District, we stayed in a very nice hotel where nearly all the staff were Eastern European.
When we took a walk around the village it was pretty clear why they couldn't find British people to do the jobs, lots of the houses in the village appeared to be holiday homes and the couple of houses that were up for sale were in the region of £300,000 so basically it would be almost impossible to work at the hotel and live in the village. After checking out at the hotel we went to a pub around the corner to watch the football as we walked around the back of the hotel it was fairly obvious that many of the staff were actually living in caravans in the hotel grounds. I wonder if Kelvin would be happy for one of his children to work unsocial hours on minimum pay and then have to live in a caravan?

Also her situation is better than most in that her degree is from the University ranked 5th on the league tables plus the cost of housing in the East North is one of the lowest in the country yet still she's struggling. What chance less academically able people in more expensive areas?

Having read Kelvin's column I beginning to wonder if he understands how libel laws actually work. Earlier this week John Major told Leveson that he could not recall an incident in which Kelvin allegedly told him that 'The Sun' was going to pour a bucket of shit over him in the aftermath of the Exchange Rate Mechanism fiasco. So Major has basically said that MacKenzie was fibbing yet MacKenzie has challenged Major to sue him for libel. Surely if Major has questioned MacKenzie's honesty it should be Kelvin who sues for libel not Major.

did major give oral evidence? slander?

He must have given written and oral evidence but I'm not sure if he mentioned MacKenzie's claim in his written evidence. I still think the ball is in MacKenzie's court when it comes to taking legal action.

If you skip to the end of today's article Kelvin announces that sadly it is his last column because he is too busy with other work. I really can't believe he spends more than 30 minutes a week knocking his column together, after all most of the stuff seems to be emailed in by his readers.

How will the Mail survive after losing Kelvin and Georgina Littlejohn in the same week?
