What a fuckwit she is.

People go on about freedom of speech and their right to speak their mind, but what happened to respect, restraint and choosing not to voice an "opinion" so's not to upset people?

I was just going to come here and post the link. She really is one of the stupidest journalists i've ever come across, and that's saying something!

"I'm sorry, but I'm just not sorry!"

Oi, Petercat, no need for that

Plenty of need

You got busted and I didn't!

*raises a lynch mob*

~Wonders what Petercat does for a living and then wonders if she'd be happy for all of her profession to be branded stupid~ whistles...

I think she thought the middle aged, middle class, middle Englanders would agree with her and say "Oh that's just what we were thinking but didn't dare say"  she forgot the power of him off Torchwood and Paul O' Grady making all the grannies gay friendly these days.

Not that I'm saying all Mail readers are grannies or owt

Nasty article that was, shame on her, apology to squirm her way out of it more like. That said I did quite enjoy dancing to the Boyzone tracks yesterday.

Just when you think she cant put her foot in it any more than she did, what does she do, swallow her fecking legs the gormless bint!

More squirming and more weasle-mouthed hypocrisy.
The best thing she could do is - shut up!

Firstly, I'm a he. Secondly, I wasn't branding all journalists stupid. Just saying that I've seen some very stupid ones in my time.
<edit> And Moir takes the biscuit.

That might be the case. But I still can't fathom how she could be surprised at the level of offence she caused. She must have known how much it would upset people - which is why I don't believe her "apology" for a second.
She knew what she was doing, all right.

Beg pardon for gender confusion - people usually get mine wrong in here too.
So what's your job?

I am currently... what's the actor's term? Oh yeah, I'm currently "resting"

Gawd... all these unemployed layabouts.. make 'em clean ditches and tarmac roads... all skivers, the bloody lot of them.
See how it works?

I know how it works. I wasn't being essentialist, as I've already pointed out.

Easy Deman! I read Petercat's comment and didn't take it as a tarring of the same brush on all journo's. There are some fantastic ones out there, I've worked with some myself, thankfully none work for the Daily Mail.

Re the article, well what else can you expect from her? I have expressed my views (which included my saying her services would be better served at the BNP) - am waiting to see if it gets published. Tick, tock....

That doesn't work, Ms Moir.  Just a pathetic attempt to wriggle out of that offensive stuff you spewed out.

It's the "and that's saying something" crack that I didn't like. but fair enough. Peace...

No, my apologies, I can see why you would take offence at that. Double peace! and here's THREE angels. Beat THAT!

And I've already explained that. I could denigrate some Civil Servants I have met, too. Or shop assistants. Or politicians. The point is that I'd be talking about specific people I have experience of. What I didn't say is "all journalists are stupid" and I object to you putting those words in my mouth.

Whatever. I don't care what you object to. You said: "She really is one of the stupidest journalists i've ever come across, and that's saying something!"

The implication was pretty clear. Now kindly stop kicking the arse out of a subject I had already drawn a line under.

Jan Moir still a stupid bitch I see.

I'd like to meet one of the 1000's who wrote in to support her,   I think we can knock off the last 3 ooo's on that score, Even in saying sorry, she's bitter & nasty,

I'm  about her stand on how can they say "Natural Causes" when we've not had the reports back, but it's OK to print what she sees as the cause of death, without having all reports back.

Whatever?

I'll just say that I'm surprised, Demantoid. I'd always thought of you as one of the more mature and thoughtful posters from BBGF and someone who could have an adult disagreement. You've taken me aback with your attitude here. I didn't mean to offend and I'm sorry you've taken it that way, but honestly the negative implication was in your head, not in mine.

As for "kicking the arse" out of this, I'm just trying to make sure I'm not misunderstood. There's no call for you to be offensive about it.

So how come last week, Jan thought Stephen Gately couldn't hold a tune in a Louis Vuitton trunk (her words) but now she thinks he was a talented young man (again her words)?  Surely she can't actually be backpedalling in her not-apology?

Having read her so called apology I dislike (read LOATHE) her even more A truly vile and horrendous individual.

She fully deserves the shower of shit shes got so far and will get in the future. If you saw Question Time even the BNP guy slagged her off. I think if the Daily Mail do keep her on (and they shouldn't) her byline should read "Jan Moir too homophobic for the BNP"

Spoken like Jan Moir..
