Noel: The meltdown…?
Watch it if you can bear it.
Is this the moment that Noel Edmonds's TV comeback hit the buffers? Sure, everyone knew that Noel's HQ was a pile of steaming shit, but this is something more - almost a Partridge-style meltdown live on TV. Frightening stuff.
Maybe he just needs a big nice holiday somewhere. God knows he can afford it.

Thank you Anton, the whole blogosphere owes you a huge debt of gratitude for the link you have shown to these intertubes…

Yes, it’s like the moment Alan Partridge sacks the keyboard player he’d discovered when playing jazz synthesiser.
The frightening thing is that I actually think the council involved are being a bunch of arseholes but I can’t stop myself laughing at Edmunds. Truly priceless!

Mindless, manipulative tabloid TV at its worst. It is utterly disingenuous and needlessly emotive to suggest that by applying planning legislation Wealden Council are personally attacking Joe and the armed forces in general.
The statement Chegwin read out was on the face of it quite reasonable and certainly appeared to give some scope for the situation to be resolved. Why, then, would the press officer need to make further comment? What Edmonds appears to have taken issue with was his show being snubbed (and, in the process, his ego being offended). Edmonds’ rant appears to have entirely vindicated the press officer’s decision.

That whole show has the whiff of the show-trial about it: unpopular populism at its worst.

That’s the most gut-churning display of smug, self-righteous, manipulative, self-important, self-aggrandising, parasitic, and generally reprehensible bloviation since my last blog post.
My main objection: he has no mandate to judge. He hasn’t been democratically elected or qualified by any agency. If there has been a case of discimination or unfair treatment against a disabled person there will be a legal process.
Really makes your skin crawl…

I love the bit where they all kick off about it being labelled as light entertainment by shaking their giant Gladiators-style foam hands about.

It’s only a matter of time.

Who’s Noels’ scriptwriter? Jeremy Kyle?
I fucking hate that ‘I pay your wages’ line.
