Charlie Brooker on Jan Moir

Charlie Brooker's responce to Jan Moir's homophobic article in the Daily Mail has been causing a stir in the 'bloggosphere' today (good word, or bad word?..I just can't decide).



The Mail published a pretty abhorrent piece pinning the causes of Stephen Gately's death down to his homosexual lifestyle. I won't say much more about the content of the article becasuse Brooker is better with words than I am.

My responce to this however is, why is everyone so surprised?

That being said, I do hope that the Mail gets sanctioned by the Press Complaints Commission about this. The Guardian really should set up a political party, what a conundrum that would be.
