This ought to have been a a godsend. Especially since God is good at abominating things. But it was my Mum's birthday yesterday, and having spent a lovely time with the family, I'm not full enough of bile and hate to abominate anything.
Yet. Let me get worked up.
It's a strong word. It sounds like a religious Dalek, rolling through life screaming out its disapproval in a harsh, hate-filled voice, a bit like a Jan Moir column. Speaking of which, the PCC's response that although effectively letting the Daily Scale off the hook, is a moral slap in the face for a newspaper that regularly attacks the right of comedians to say what they like about topics in the public eye. The PCC is essentially defending the right of journalists to say “uncomfortable” things for no good reason because the alternative is censorship. Perhaps the Scale will remember that next time it tries to generate a lynch mob against someone for trying to make people laugh.
They won't, of course.
We will probably have to endure many more examples of the disgusting little green mutant steering its bonded polycarbide shell through life, trying to squeeze the faces off random targets with its plunger of outrage. And we will put up with it, because the alternative is censorship, but that doesn't mean we can't shoot back. Aim for the eyepiece.

Update: this is now about 5 views off from being my most popular entry. Why? Is it the picture of a Dalek with flowers? Do feel free to look at other posts. Most of them are better.
