The best thing about both those articles was the Mail declaring that we could be "Promiscuity Britain", which makes up for being less alliterative than "Broken Britain" by not really beating around the bush when it comes to pushing things the Mail hates: the very possibility that someone, somewhere, might be happy. I was going to say "having fun" but it's a deeper malaise than that. The newspaper is run by bitter, unhappy misanthropes who despise other people and resent them for not waking up every morning consumed by fear and hatred.

Which makes it interesting that you'd quote two articles from it to make some kind of tortured pun about shagging and trees.

McDuff:

You know what'd be a rewarding activity for you? Go back over all my 2,000 posts of the last four years, and sullenly pick them apart no matter their occasional light-hearted, silly, or humorous intent (as you've done here).

Grade them, perhaps, on whether my news sources, from the Mail to the New Yorker, are sufficiently happy for you. Most of all, don't forget to chide me for quoting publications whose overall editorial character you believe clashes with the sunny, chirpy disposition you've been bringing to my blog all week!

Enjoy,

Rogier

Oh come now, really? You're allowed to rant about the BBC not using the word Muslim but I'm not allowed to call the Mail out for once again being the Mail?

Anyway, as a libertarian I'm amazed you don't explode when the Mail touches you.

  • "It is a misfortune that many people think it is a mark of saintliness to be easily shocked; whereas the greatest saints are the people who are never shocked.
