    Does anyone get this little fat man???

    I mean surely anybody could write his column in the Independent every day as it's appears mainly cut and paste from any of the most far-fetched stories that can be googled on the web. He then wraps this up into "isn't it awful" what these people get up to and he gets paid for it !!!!

    He would be ideal for the Sun, Star or Mail - particularly the Mail where he could mouth his nonsense to the blue-rinse brigade.

    Come on Indo send him off to the red-tops where he belongs !!!!

    Have seen him on Pat the Plank a few times and maybe Prime Time.

    Seems like a right tool.

    He hates himself but instead of trying to improve his own life, he projects his hatred onto others. He exhibits symptoms of a narcissistic personality disorder too. In a way, we should feel pity for him - he probably had a troubled youth.

    PS - I'm not a psychology graduate who thinks he knows it all.

    he'd be no good for the Sun - that's where he gets all his stories.

    Strange as it may seem I like this guy - his stuff has the (very) occasional gem and is a welcome respite from the overall conservatism of the Sir Anthony's paper.

    He is a little bit like the Duffer on Liveline - has to have some controversy and stir things a bit.

    Dosn't take himself and his "profession" too seriously unlike that plank Myers and that that Cork twat O'Connor from the same stable.

    I don't mind the fellow that much either. His columns are populist right wing twaddle, but they provide a welcome respite from the hand wringing, limp wristed stuff that people like Fintan O'Toole spew forth. I don't take it seriously. However I think that casting aspersions about a persons childhood because you don't like what they write is just pathetic.

    With this thread he has material for at least ten more columns since his indo drivel always seem to revolve around him and his anonmyous interweb begrudgers.

    Wow, what sort of an asshole are you? - You hate people simply for psychoanalysing others? What about hating people who hate people without even knowing them (like you are doing in this situation)?

    Take care,
    Kevin.
