To be fair, it's a well known fact that paps are utter scum who'd sell their own gran in to sex slavery to get a story. That they behave like rabid animals doesn't excuse people who should know better.

not wanting to be any way associated with Broccers, but do you think what he did was in any way even close to equivalent to what they are doing?

Both broke the rules. I am not attempting to draw any sort of equivalency or league table of stupidity.

To clarify we never associated near castles or public loos as Rich suggested.

Yes you did. Now are you going to get back to that point or keep ignoring it?

Stop deflecting Broccers.

I have previously stayed at the (now shut down) Jersey Farm Hotel in Barnard Castle which was owned & run by “Mad” Mark Watson - who raced in the fastest class of the British Rallycross Championship.

I thought you would all be interested to know this.

Driving your family in your own car to a separate property and not coming into contact with anyone else has a somewhat different effect on the potential spread of a virus to huddling around a braying bunch of 15 strangers on the street.

I doubt any of the media outlets they're representing trying to force dc to resign will be sacking them.

Most photographers are independent, they sell their pictures to the highest bidder.

With every passing day, the Tory approach to running the country is becoming ever more Trumpian.

I think we're a long way yet from BJ suggesting injecting bleach or shining UV torches up our arses.

Although Broccers is first in the queue if that's on offer.

I think the Tories haven't dealt with the situation well. What's your point?

I think this, on top of the last couple of years has made me seriously consider getting the fvck out of dodge to another country or downsizing to the point where I can live in a wee cottage in the middle of nowhere to be honest.

Which countries are less of a clusterfuck than ours?

stop being such a drama queen, IYRWTYWHA.

We had a great year in Holland. Mainly because I didn’t watch or read the newspaper for 12 months and just got on with life. I should’ve carried on like that.

There seems to be generally less arseholery north of the border, so part of me is tempted to let Nicola build the wall.

Failing that, Hebredean island, couple of dozen sea mines, and a .50 Cal with a really long scope - problem solved
