Dear Richard Littlejohn, here’s some polish for that turd
What if one considers Littlejohn beneath contempt, but can't help feeling the other protagonist, whilst not deserving an unwarranted witless attack from him, still has some questionable traits?

That would be a reasonable position and completely unsuitable for CUK General.
And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
I think you will probably find that many of the lower income earners do eat what you call as "repulsive muck" than you think. This is the second time you have assumed that everyone is like you with the same income and the same values. Perhaps you ought to read a little bit more of what Littlejohn has to say.
If you're sort of implying that I'm an Islington type foodie sneering at pleb dietary habits, nothing could be further from the truth - I'll eat any old slop (I was at boarding school from the age of 7 after all). But I genuinely thought that the concept of boiling dried pasta such as spaghetti and making nice Bolognaise or something had by now spread over every corner of the British Isles, like mobile phones in recent years.

What has he actually got to answer? Or do you judge people according to which football team they support?
His lies possibly or his lack of journalistic integrity (*), not the first time though, and yes...Sometimes, but only sometimes I actually think that he's you but I'm pretty sure its not, it isn't is it?
In February 2011 Littlejohn wrote in his Daily Mail column that Haringey Council was using taxpayer funds for hopscotch lessons for Asian women. This was an urban myth first propagated by the former Conservative Party chairman, Brian Mawhinney in 1995, and the Hopscotch Asian Women's Centre offered "support services for Asian women and their families on a wide range of issues including domestic violence, benefits, housing, education, immigration and health matters [and provided] advocacy and support to people with learning disabilities".
In his column, Littlejohn regularly attacks homosexuals, meterosexuals, heterosexuals, gays, muslims, blacks (whom Littlejohn refers to as 'tulip-skins'), the French, French gays ("le boys"), the Germans, German gays, the police but not Sting, bum-boys, police bum-boys, Tony Blair, John Prescott, Gordon Brown, The Queen, The King, Polly Toynbee, liberals, socialists, the liberal-socialist King, pooftahs, the rich, the poor, the dispossessed, huddled masses yearning to be set free, the frightened, the brave, the greedy, the meek, the mild, the clever, the stupid, the "so-called" clever, the "so-called" stupid, you, your mum, your "momma", the Irish, recruitment agents, the Polish (especially those Gordon Brown has given all our jobs to), people with brown eyes ("When I look into their eyes I might as well be looking up their arse. They shame our Aryan brothers. Sieg Heil!"), Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub (who's certainly a chocolate-stabber), Postman Pat (a socialistic pawn of a communistic civil service) and above all the loony left. The only person he likes is something he calls "the ordinary man on the street," a hypothetical entity characterised, curiously and coincidentally, by having exactly the same political and social opinions as Richard Littlejohn.
