Fagburn: On Reading Today's Gay Media

It really brings out my inner Ed Reardon sometimes, it just seems like it's written by 12 year-olds.

Sentimental crap, days old 'news', happy clappy nonsense, press releases, pink puke mis lit, gay churnalism, manufactured outrage, victimhoodery, dodgy data and fake debates between fools.

Too, too many things I don't give a fuck about...

The point of being a journalist is surely asking; 'Is this true?'

Why are so many goons incapable of even this?

I give up.

Fagburn: Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to my Mum - and all.

PS Ed Reardon At Christmas. Made my miserable day.

Ed Reardon: Ed Reardon!

Back now on Radio 4.
Funniest thing ever!
To all embittered impoverished writers everywhere.

Pink News: All Hail William Hague!

Foreign Secretary William Hague has spoken out against anti-gay laws in Russia to say that Britain’s foreign policy must have “a conscience”, and that it is in the nature of Britain to “stand up for human rights overseas.”
The interview with the Evening Standard comes a day after it was confirmed that David Cameron will raise the issue of the Russian law banning the promotion of “non-traditional relationships”, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, when he travels to St Petersburg for the G20 this week.*
Mr Hague said that Britain had “moved the dial”, on other human rights issues such as sexual violence in conflict areas, and on Russia, said: “It is important to us. Britain cannot have a foreign policy without a conscience and I don’t believe it is ultimately in the nature of British people to act without a conscience. I wrote a book about William Wilberforce and the abolition of the slave trade, which was not in the self-interest of Britain, but was right.”

Pink News.

Err, this is the same William "Let's bomb Syria!" Hague who famously was opposed to the repeal of Section 28 - the act that inspired the new Russian law - and was against gay adoption - like what they don't have in Russia now - yes?
Similarly laudatory moronic article on Gay Star News - no surprises there.
It is not clear from the Evening Standard interview if the noted judo-wrestling and hotel room-sharing politician even mentioned The Gays.
I increasingly feel Fagburn has turned into Ed Reardon and am now resigned to my fate of fuming that much of the gay news media is written by politically illiterate 12 year-olds. 
Oh the despair...

* This hasn't been confirmed yet, some MEP tweeted it. But if you believe everything you read on Twitter, then Nelson Mandela died twelve times last week.

Detective Sergeant Nick Mohammed: Bent Copper?

Just listened to episode two of this, Detective Sergeant Nick Mohammed.
Funniest thing on the wireless since Warhorses Of Letters.
And the dimwitted camp* copper is surely the finest (non-equine!) radio comedy creation since Ed Reardon.
So there.

* I haven't heard Nick express any love/lust interest either way yet, but he's screaming even louder than Julian & Sandy. Together.
