I spend the rest of my time reading other relevant publications, news outlets, blogs, tweets etc in the hope that all of the knowledge I’ve gained will rapidly assemble into some kind of genius come December 7th.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what else I might do to unite body and mind into Guardian-news-supplementary-unity?

Which is why I found its defence of Jan Moir’s Stephen Gately column bizarre.

In her piece, Moir revels in her completely unconcealed disgust at sex between two or more men.

FSB suggests that, in fact, such an interpretation of the piece might be confined to ‘university-educated, liberal-leaning journalists’ and therefore implies that the UK public at large endorses Moir’s perspective.

This underwrites the basis of the post, as far I can understand it. FSB seems to be suggesting that because The Daily Mail – the newspaper which published the column – represents and indulges the views of a large numbers of people in the UK, we should think twice before criticising the hateful things that it says:

The Daily Mail is a great paper, because its every article is written single-mindedly for the benefit of its readers. Not its journalists.

A perverse, incomprehensible, and irrelevant argument.

BOYZONE 4EVA!

Any I’m completely on the right hand side of that equation. But then there are just some times when there’s a couple of delightful rapscallions emptying your bin, buying you surreptitious beer, and you want to slip them a hundred rupees on the sly.

I know, this blog makes me sound like a pederast.

But, oh the dilemmas!
