It would be wonderful to think that what replaces Mubarak will be better. But here's the thing about Middle Eastern Regimes: They're all vile. The ones that are "friendly" are vile and the ones that hate us are vile. Revolutions in the region have a habit of going horribly wrong, and this may well have something to do with the fact that Islam and democracy appear to find it difficult to coexist for long.

There were also moments of farce, near the statue on the main square two figures stood, a girl and a boy, holding identical cardboard trays in front of them. The girl's tray was filled with cigarette packets; the boy's with stones.

He is also reported to be currently in the process of suing the News of the World regarding the mobile phone hacking scandal. Katie Price is reported to have separated from her husband, because she believes that he is not the man she married and George Osborne is reported to blame the weather for the decline of the British economy. If you want me, I’ll be in the field shoveling shit. And that’s true that is.

It’s part of the BBC’s remit to provide a lucrative habitat for some fairly repulsive cultural relics. They’ve been doing it for the Monarchy and Church of England for decades. Providing the same service for redundant, golf club bores on Match of the Day is second nature.
And if anyone thinks it’s about to stop, then think again. One of the BBC’s most lucrative little reptiles is the repulsive Jeremy Clarkson. With his quasi-mullet, ridiculous paunch and undersized ‘Brian May’ jeans, the repellent clown continues to profit from providing a leering caricature of 70′s style, suburban sexism to commissioning editors.
So we can look forward to more of the same. Society may have moved on, but it’s still a round of golf with Tarby and trebles all round at the BBC.

To me it’s the circus part of ‘Bread and Circuses’ and that’s all it is…something that makes working class people read the papers back to front…And get more passionate over it than their own working and social conditions. The best footie is played in the park with your mates- no season tickets, no over-priced strips, or players, or cops herding you like cattle…I realise that this is a slightly unpopular opinion to hold…

The increasing ­tendency for the BBC to interview its own reporters on air exacerbates this mindset. Instead of ­concentrating on interviewing the leading players in a story or spreading the net wide for a range of views, these days the BBC frequently chooses to use the time getting the thoughts of its own correspondents. It is a format intended to help clarify the facts, but which often invites the expression of opinion. When that happens, instead of hearing both sides of a story, the audience at home gets what is, in effect, the BBC’s view presented as fact.
