Those of you who used to read 2000AD comic may remember a character in the Judge Dredd stories by the name of Otto Sump. When Sump first appeared he was destitute and living in a squalid mo-pad (motor home). He somehow got a brief slot on TV where he could beg for money.

On reading Newton Dunn's tweet above, I suddenly got a vivid mental image of Sump, on his knees before the cameras, clasped hands lifted in supplication, saying "Help Meee".

It's one of life's great ironies that the more privileged you are, the more you and PLU are in control, so the more victimised you believe you are.

I'll take a cappuccino, thanks. And I don't even drink coffee.

Stuff The George Cross - PAY UP

Sometimes, just sometimes, the steaming hypocrisy of our free and fearless press, coupled with their total lack of self-awareness and detachment from the real world, causes them to publish material which anyone with brain plugged in and a hole in their backside would not have entertained under any circumstances...

And you wonder why I despise journalists so?

As Mrs A immediately said, a medal would have been a great comfort to the nurse who had to have her baby cut out of her dead body.

A petition on just that subject was pulled from the Parliamentary queue last night (as any competent journo would know).
The pull-notice was accompanied my a mealy mouthed waffle about a medal already being planned.
