PCC to investigate Jan Moir's article in The Daily Mail
And Charlie Brooker's reaction to the article...
Why there was nothing 'human' about Jan Moir's column on the death of Stephen Gately
Stephen Gately Of Boyzone Dead At 33 Page 11
One day Charlie Brooker will say something I don't agree with.
But it hasn't happened yet!

Well, according to the interview with him on Loose Ends a couple of weeks back, he even says things which he doesn't himself agree with.
I'm surprised to see Charlie Brooker getting involved with this guff fest over Jan Moir. Her article was pretty average nasty petty Daily Mail ranting, which although quite high on the Daily Mail vileness scale is not quite up there with creepy Richard Littlejohn's views on murdered prostitutes.
Ironic to see the Mail swept up in a hysteria campaign though.
How sad.. first Gately and now H from Steps...

But the great - and unique - thing about Brooker is that he's one of the few liberal columnists that can match the right-wingers in terms of bile and vitriol. And, unlike them, be bloody funny while doing it.

Could you make a joke about Harriet Harman or Richard Littlejohn please, Ellie?

Jan Moir apologises for the timing of her article, but not it's contents

Or a UN Goodwill Embassador. Because they don't hand those things out to anyone either.

Drunk with lust, however...

That's not actually what the article says though, is it?

He can be a bit of a tit at times.
