He has been pretending that people said things to him in interviews (embellished with his usual flaccid prose) when in fact they didn't - they may (or may not) have written them down.

Yet another journalist has been exposed for the immoral drivel they churn out. There are some most amusing parodies

Of course, the slimy Polly Toynbee couldn't wait to rush to his defence, seemingly on the grounds that he writes for a left-wing newspaper:

Perfectstorm. People who go to University, can still be idiots as we see by the above post, and yours! Grin [up own arse comes to mind! Grin).

perfectstorm. 'Well done a malapropism, spelling error and....prolixity' Well done! I've never read anything so intellectually superior, but also pretentious in all my life! I though sneering and intellectual snobbery were frowned upon on here. Do you have a thesuarus and dictionary still rumbling around in your stomache? Or were they too big to swallow? 'passing nasty personal comment on a complete stranger looks somewhat foolish' That is exacty what you did to complimentary. Pot calling the kettle black comes to mind!Grin
Please correct any spelling grammatical errors one may have made, oh, and I shall also stay behind for six of the best and detention!Grin

Lefties are mostly liars I find, and leftie journalists are the worst, just like that bloke from "the Wire" who made up all his stories to make his rich leftie bosses happy.
