As Eve has said, you click the red inverted commas, at bottom right of posts. (The blue cross you usaed if you wish to post more than one person.)

I would just add that when you have done this you can edit (delete as much of the post as you wish leaving only the bit you want.) Just highlight and press delete for the bits you don't want.

I know what you mean fracas, it's hardly as if he's the only one, the press and radio are full of them...  Clarkson, MacCriwick, Peter Oberon, Widecombe, Melanie Philips, Peter Hitchins, Jan Moir, Leo McKinstry, Kelvin MacKenzie, Gary Bushell.  I feel I've only just scratched the surface and barely mentioned the lot on radio.

 

I don't really know why they're indulged so much, rarely do they have anything insightful to say.  Some, like Clarkson, are reasonably witty with it, others are just obnoxious hypocrites.  Just stock opinions.  As you say, panto villians.

Have just read through LitteknobJohn's article. Ok...he starts with this:

 

'It is wrong to visit the sins of previous generations on their modern descendants, although that doesn’t prevent the British Left constantly trying to make us feel guilty for centuries-old grievances, from the slave trade to the Irish potato famine.'

 
And he then proceeds into a rant about his wife's grandfather who suffered years ago at the hands of the Japanese people, how we shouldn't forget this and that from the past...yada yada yada.
Mr.Pot - Mrs Kettle calling
This is what shocked me the most:

'It is football’s equivalent of those teddy bears you see tied to railings at the scene of every road accident' (Should any of Littlejohn's offspring get run over and die, please remind me not to tie a teddy bear to the railing where it happened otherwise he'll get pissed off about it).

 

The shame is, his talk of Britain's activity in the middle-east makes for quite interesting reading, but the acerbic, bitter, venom he writes with throughout the article just makes me think he's one of those angry old men who spend all day frowning at a computer screen and never washing their genitals cos they're too busy finding stuff to tut at profusely.

 

Wanker.

Private Eye did a review of one of Littlejohn's books last year which addressed that very point. The final paragraph of it is probably worth repeating here:

 

"The problem lies within, of course. Ranting makes Littlejohn feel good about himself; just for a moment, it conquers the awful and all-consuming fear. It also makes him easier to ignore. This should be the perfect time for so-called tribunes of the people, commentators outside the mainstream of political discourse, and so it is. But by choosing to address only the Mail's most deranged readers, Littlejohn has effectively marginalised himself from the debate. Repeat yourself all you like, but if no one is listening, no one will hear."

Very true It's the age old theory isn't it? The louder they shout, the more you ignore.

 

Difficult though when you get someone like him who has access to a global platform through a well known national tabloid website.

 

To be honest, I'm not angry as in sitting here shaking my fist and raising my blood pressure, he's not worthy of such emotion. I just think he's one of those cases where at the time of conception, it would have been better if his mum had swallowed, that's all.

 

I wonder if the Daily Mail would let me add that as a comment?

Heheh: Littlejohn's latest rant has generated so much criticism that that "topic" is already closed to new comments. I would like to think they'd make an exception in your case, though...

 

The fact that The Mail have had to take that action makes an interesting point, though:

Littlejohn has now gone so far that he's even marginalised himself from Daily Mail readers.

Quite an achievment, you have to admit...

And I bet in his own little twisted faeces of a brain he'll be quite proud of it!
