Its not often Littlejohn has more than one audience to pander to (in this case nativist cabbies and free market plunderers aren't in alignment). He's having a rare moment of having to hold more than one idea in his head.
Let me make it clear before we go any further that I am full of admiration for my friends in the licensed taxi trade and would always choose a black cab over an Uber in Central London.
Traditional cabbies are an essential and valuable part of the fabric of our capital city, not only for the safe, reliable service they provide but also because of the generous support they give charities for ex-servicemen and disabled children.
But outside the central area, black cabs are few and far between and Uber offers a relatively cheap, convenient alternative to overcrowded public transport and hit-and-miss local minicab firms.
Rod Hull’s emu, which famously attacked Michael Parkinson on TV, has been put up for auction and is expected to sell for around £10,000.
I think I can safely predict that one man who won’t be bidding is Parky. Mike once said that, despite a distinguished career as a journalist, author and broadcaster, when he pops his clogs, the headline on his obituary will probably read:
Emu Man Dies.
I've never heard LJ's great mate Mike say that. He probably said it once to Russell Harty 40 years ago.
Despite a distinguished career as a journalist, author and broadcaster, when Littlejohn pops his clogs, the headline on his obituary will probably read: Cunt who made Michael Winner look good dies. Good.
