[John Lydon: Open Up]
Scowling photo of Minitrue celeb. Dire warnings of how the BBC will soon dissolve in its own crocodile tears unless it is immediately hurled a vast buoyant wad of TPM* to keep its trembling lower lip above water, and empowered to extract more as required. All in The Telegraph.
We are being softened up. Personally I think it would be better if Simpson were depicted holding a kitten and standing in front of a microwave. That’s the way I’ve seen it done on the telly.
* Tax Payers’ Money. They use TLAs; I use TLAs.
Simpson came across as a sad senile old fool who had clearly lost the plot. I’m so glad I threw my television out of the upper floor window dashing it into many pieces early in September, haven’t missed it one bit and I got a refund on my licence.
We gave ours away. We also got a refund on the licence, but were warned by the young lady who arranged it to expect a certain number of peculiar letters, which she advised us to ignore.
These have become increasingly threatening and offensive over time, and have quite got my back up.
The tax-farming company keep threatening to come round and interview me ‘under caution’ (hah!), and claim to have been round while we were out.
I am beginning to feel a bit of a fool for not having retained the telly as siege ammunition. It costs the earth in firewood to keep the oil boiling, and the cow keeps getting off the catapult…
