Brave new world
I see Guido is using once again more tittle tattle of a sexual nature as a battering ram against the gates of the ‘mainstream media elite’.
All fair enough, I suppose, if you get a rise out of that kind of thing. You know, dragging a kid into your self-promotion.
Except. There are gatekeepers of the new media elite who are also reluctant to open up. People with long memories will remember, a while back, a group of bloggers attempting to ‘dish the dirt on their own’ thinking ‘it would be of huge interest to the public’.
Across blogs, in London and Brighton pubs, it has been common knowledge for years. This blogger is at the heart of the politico-media nexus that constitutes the new disintermediated class.
The blogger who’s skeleton from his past the group attempted to ventilate ran for his lawyer and threatened them with legal action. When attending an interview to talk about the matter, the blogger took along his daddy[1] for moral support (the blogger is 40).
Can anyone remember that blogger’s name?
[1] Update: Or was it granddaddy?. Maybe Guido could clarify for us.
Also, this is from Guido’s ‘about me‘ blurb:
Any kind of reference to Guido’s family [...] is deleted without hesitation.
Couldn’t you just slap him?

There’s a reason why it hasn’t been reported – no one gives a fuck about political journalists shagging each other. No one cared much about Boris’s numerous conquests, nor when it was revealed that Simon Hoggart had been another of Kimberley Quinn’s fuckbuddies did anyone outside of Hoggart’s family raise an eyebrow. The only reason it ever should be reported is when it affects government business our our lives in some way; such as when Blunkett’s affair with Quinn started to. Prior to that the newspapers that didn’t report it were quite right not to. Guido is clutching at straws as ever.
No doubt someone will along shortly to tell us we’re just jealous of Guido’s readership and advertising revenue.
Resentful is the word rather than jealous. And I wouldn’t resent a single reader or penny if he wasn’t an unmitigated and irredeemable cunt who built his shitty little empire on the backs of other people’s faults and misfortunes.
