Steve Coogan on Newsnight <punches air>

[GetOrfMoiLand]

He is ace, really think he is doing well.

That tabloild tool has just said to him 'you take £5million per movie from Rupert Murdoch, and you complain about having your phone hacked'

Who are the other people? Greg Dyke is it? Whos the other guy?

Quite pissed off, isn't he?

I don't know who that other bloke is. He is a fucking idiot. 'Britain will be a poorer place wityhout the NOTYW'

Steve Coogan is so scathing. Good on him.

NOW guy is not going to win this is he? Go Steve!

The other guy is a NOTW hack who's been doing the rounds on all the progs defending the NOTW's track record.

The Mumsnet thread was just shown.

That notw guy is such a twat.

Now some bird from Mumsnet is on there.

Justine's there now!

Will Self just used two words I don't understand.

Oh the 'poorer place without NOTW' comment pissed me off no end. What an idiot. Incapable of debate. Is he the guy Hugh Grant taped!

Will self is a pretentious nob and steve coogan is a complete twat imo

Oh they are both pretentious but that doesn't stop them being right.

Yay for regulated capitalism.

I agree that Coogan is a twat but it didn't stop him from being brilliant.

That NOTW wankstain didn't do himself any favours. HOW can he defend NI is being paid or has been promised job

The NOTW journo (EX) made a complete cock up of defending the gutter he lives in and I was willing Steve Coogan to give him the punch on the nose he was asking for!

Coogan did look like he was quite close to thumping Paul McMullan. He was almost out of his chair. We were willing him to do it.

The questions nobody asked the NoW ex-features editor were 'What is wrong with you?' 'What went wrong in your life to make you such a bitter, pathetic, twisted immoral man?'

But Will Self was right - everyone's getting carried away about things changing. People like reading this crap. The Murdochs are going nowhere.
And according to the programme, The Daily Mail was the newspaper that most heavily used detectives to llegally acquire information. The focus should be on the other papers too.

not a patch on hugh

Yes, I think Will Self was right. Madness to think anything's actually going to change.

And they were touching on the fact that celebrity culture is going to carry on regardless, so Steve Coogan and his ilk can carry on being filthy rich and spouting faintly lefty stuff every now and again, when it's in his personal interest to do so.

And according to the programme, The Daily Mail was the newspaper that most heavily used detectives to llegally acquire information.

I wish people would boycott the Mail.
