It’s always funny how the tabloid press always rushes to Beyer for an outraged quote and then present his views as if they represent a massive outcry.

Here’s another example…

It’s heartening to know that such is the rigour of the Mail’s employment screening that it can be sure that not one of the journalists or columniists, whose job it is to enlighten the public, has ever used or now uses any form of substance, whether liquid or chemical. Thank the Lord that standards are being maintained somewhere. To think otherwise would be to suggest that its editor and mangement are the basest hypocrites and that couldn’t be.

Until I read about it here I had no idea that Martina Hingis had used cocaine and anyway if she has I think that it is nobody’s business but her own. I think that the most important issue is whether she looks good in a sparkly dress.

What a Turtle soup the last few days have been. With John Beyer stepping down and Stephen ‘Birdshit’ Green having virtually thrown in the towel, could sites like this have found their new Private Eye-esque gift of a comedy figure in the form of this Middle-age Mutant Whinger Turtle?

The BBC could have put in many other personalities who I’m sure would love to take part in the show and they could have chosen someone without that record.

He may as well say “Pick me! Pick me!”
