Interesting that Dicky is taking a pop at non-doms. Isn't that biting the hand that owns The Mail? I have posted a comment along these lines but don't expect it to appear.

Given his place of residence, he's certainly well-placed to comment on the American viewpoint.

From the comments:

I presume when he mentions an offence, Duncan is talking about not watching the Olympics (given his place of residence)

Lawks-a-mercy, it's in.

Littlejohn has never traveled 50 miles north of Orlando in his 'home' state. Why?

Why would he want to be the goddamn liberal, limey, immigrant piece of shit who isn't anti-abortion enough?

No one has said anything like that here. They are impressed by the show and London as much as the medal tally.....

I, for one, am surprised by their, the Americans, enthusiasm for the effort London and the rest of the UK has gone to.

I've spent the last month in the company of an international but overwhelmingly American crew filming events here. The small Australian contingient give as good as they get in the banter stakes - often to the consternation of other nationalities looking on, the French are so polite it's embarrasing. The Americans are noticeably very interested and very impressed with the performance of both British athletes and public, and have enthusiastically cheered on British efforts while keeping one eye on the medal table hoping the USA would overhaul China, 'You guys are just so damn infectious' as one told me. They are very taken with the British way of doing sport - and don't forget that these guys have been filming it all over the world for years, often becoming more than a little jaded with their work. Interestingly, when press attitudes cropped up in conversation, they needed little prompting from me to describe the Daily Mail as an international laughing stock. I do take some small pride in the knowledge that they'll be returning home to locations all over the USA and working all over the world at prestige events, encouraging the use of the word mailtard at every opportunity. Have a nice day, Wally. :mrgreen:

The mail may well be a laughing stock but it's just not that funny.

I mentioned that story in the Mail & Police thread. The sheer neck of the Mail and it's readers to condemn a lynch mob for jumping to conclusions without evidence is breathtaking.

The Mail is peeved because Sky not only broke the story but their hack might have helped with the police's breakthrough. The Dark Lord's fury will be terrible to behold and will be handing out cuntlashings to his reporters who were on the scene.

And suddenly...the Olympics are brilliant.

Like all Littlejohn articles that start with the word 'Imagine' you know that it will contain a lot of opinion and bollocks but little fact. I never realised that Littlejohn was a golf fan until today, funny how he was more aware of a major sporting in America rather than he was about a major sporting event on his doorstep.

He even moans about renewing his Sky Sport subscription I suppose paying out all that money for a service he only uses a few times a year must really grate with him. He is slightly confused when he mentions the Muamba story in relation to Sky because it was actually an FA Cup match so it would have been on BBC rather than SkySport.

I could be wrong here, but I think the FA Cup rights may have been shared between ESPN/ITV last year.

Yes it probably was ITV it certainly wasn't Skysports because I watched the Spurs Bolton match and I've not got Skysports.

I've a feeling the replay may have been on ITV but the original on ESPN, as I certainly didn't watch it and would have done if it had been on freeview, my good lady being a Bolton lass and all. Could well be wrong, mind.
