The enemies of reason

"Could actually be good if you bothered to write it properly". Poundshop potshots at the media moral maze. Contains swears. Disliked by Howard Jacobson. Therefore: Enjoy.

    Nope.

    Fear. Fear! Fear about wrinkles. You're getting old! And look, the bloody Poles are procreating! The selfish bastards, having children which are just a strain on the NHS and schools rather than paying for the vast pension pot of an ageing population who... er, read the Daily Mail and have wrinkles. But there's a picture of Kate & Gerry to lighten the mood. Some new bollocks theory about what someone might have thought a few months ago but isn't sure about now. Who did they sell her to? Darkies probably! Coming over to steal our babies! But not the Polish ones, obviously.

    Something implying that darkies took the blonde child? Check. Some lies about immigration statistics? Check. A wilfully ignorant front-page rant that a child of five could dismantle? Check. A free DVD that no-one wants? Check. A picture of a pre-pubescent boy from the same newspaper that would vilify paedophiles? Check. A bit of poppy fascism? Check. JACKPOT!

    ...says no-one, ever. But that doesn't mean you can't say that in a headline, obviously
