I can't stand that smug, self righteous tw@t!!!! He genuinely reminds me of Clarkson!!!


Fair enough, some of the people I've seen him interview have been talking nonsense, but his way of doing things seems to be along the lines of "if you disagree with me, you're wrong".....


Hope I'm not thinking of the wrong person here, and sure he's had worse criticism if he reads this....

You got the right person Keef. Here's an excerpt from an article he wrote last year in The Times about life in his new home in East Dulwich:


"Everyone living down my road who isn?t a baby or a mum is a semi-famous lesbian comedian who occasionally crops up on Radio 4, being gently arch about something.....Where on earth can I be? I?ll tell you where: London metropolitan suburbia. Dulwich, to be precise, a place which makes Crouch End resemble Compton on a bad day. Its very name is a giveaway, pronounced Dull Itch...But how Lordship Lane has changed! All those lovely food shops and bars and restaurants: if we can get rid of Somerfield and Iceland and Cafe Nero, we will truly be back in 1950 ? which was a much better place to be, by all accounts, except for the Korean war and the tail end of rationing, and rickets and polio. Right now we have a butcher, a few bakers, a candlestick-maker, boiled-sweet shops and a strange outlet that sells only white things. It?s like living in Trumpton."

I dunno - thought it was quite funny myself. He doesn't impinge on my life much, so I don't really know much about the guy, but it strikes me that just because he wrote it, it doesn't necessarily follow that he thinks it himself. Or thinks it to that extent and with that particular slant. Perhaps he's writing in a persona, for an effect, whatever.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.

      Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view.

      Franklins is being sold

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.

      The country is in a real state.  What worries me about the Greens is encouraging migration and openly offering benefits to all with visas.  Where is the money for that coming from?  As if there is spare money, as if there is growth. Where I their holistic manifesto, ensuring funds are available and this is sustainable, and regulated? Incredibly dangerous and idealistic
