an open letter to the daily mail

Dear oh dear oh dear.
Now is not the time to worry about the view of the Daily Mail expressed by British anti contraception campaigner Victoria Gillick when she was unsuccessfully attempting to prevent the House of Lords from passing a law that would permit doctors to put female children on the pill without informing their parents, for which heinous crime the Daily Mail saw fit to publish a picture of Victoria Gillick's teenage daughter (I think the girl was 13) topless on a beach kissing a young man, and on publication of which, Victoria Gillick commented simply and dignifiedly "The Mail are bastards," a comment that has always seemed to me to most aptly nay perfectly sum up the Daily Mail and all who sail in her and all her manifold editions in Britain, Ireland and Hades.
So.
Wednesday okay?

Sleepy and I always refer to them as the Daily Nazi. In some ways this is unfair, Nazis were undoubtedly evil, but unlike the Daily Mail, they weren't thick as piggy poo.

Surely not the same Sleepy who wrote the only line my inimitable Uncle Scutch ever laughed at on this blog.
Namely: "No one expects John Cleese."
