I don't get it. Prescott has an affair and plays croquet (the scoundrel), and the nation calls for his head on a plate (admittedly a large plate). Dick Cheney shoots someone in the face and exposes his own CIA agents and endangers the planet but isn't hounded anywhere near as much. I'd love to see some mullet-haired guy thrown an egg at Cheney's face, see how he'd react. Cheney and Prescott, now there's a dynamic duo. And then on the radio I hear that Morrissey has said to animal testing labs that "we're gonna get you". The LBC commentator (whose name escapes me, but it rhymed with 'stupid obnoxious self-absorbed prat') told his audience to condemn him for incitement to violent acts. People ringing in were snarling maliciously, "I would like to see them do medical testing on the Smiths instead!" (as if they are still together or something). What would they say if they heard any of the Smiths' music, I wonder? Calling for unity among shopifters, should he be prosecuted for telling people to steal? Or for dating comatose women? As for hanging disc jockeys, well he could start with morning show presenters on LBC. Oops, better not incite them. And then there's the Daily Mail. My mum, despite my many lectures as to why she shouldn't, still reads it. There's a newspaper I haven't missed at all. Nor the Evening Standard really, which I've boycotted since they targeted Ken Livingstone as a racist. Of course, it's been pretty easy keeping up this boycott, living five thousand miles away. However, I've missed the Metro newspaper, that one you get free on the undergound in the morning. We were looking through it last night for funny articles; apparently, back in the US, a group of people were arrested in an undercover operation in a park (it was probably raining, hence being undercover). they were all having sex. There were 29 of them, so there must have been one odd one out, or a threesome. Except there were 28 men and 1 woman. Unfortunately those were all the details given, so there was much left to the childish imaginations of a group of 28-30 year olds in a pub in Chancery Lane. The finer points of the British media; you gotta love it.
