The Independent: Question!



The Independent - which has the same answer to everything...

"Err, why don't we do another online poll?"
"Brilliant, Ollie. Pub?"

Not sure if the current total of 100% votes for "No" is because the answer's too obvious to even bother asking the question in the first place, or because Fagburn's the only person who's bothered to vote.

Please read the accompanying twaddle by one Daisy Wyatt.
Guess what she's thinking?
"Could Vicious, then, despite its disappointing original title of Vicious Old Queens,  open the eyes of TV commissioners and start a new trend where characters happen to be gay, rather than are typecast as “gay characters”?"
Oh FFS!
I know I keep going on about how hopeless, clueless and patronising The Independent's coverage of gay issues is - sorry, of issues that just happen to be gay - but there must be someone there who is capable of doing more than just regurgitating the first dumb thing they found when they Googled it?

PS And who do you think Radio 4's Today get in this morning to comment on Vicious and the state of the gay cultural nation?
Who else could it be but...
Christopher Biggins!!!
