Finally, Littlejohn’s crown has been taken

Yes, at last, dear friends, I've found someone more dismally ignorant, illiterate, venomous and vile than Littlecock. You don't believe me? Read on:

...After several minutes of this he snaps and slaps her with the back of his hand with the words: "Go away."
She doesn't and she continues to hurl abuse. At which point he draws his baton and belts her on the legs.
If anyone ever deserved a good slap, this woman certainly did.

Yes. A 5ft tall woman deserved to be slapped around the face and hit with a weapon by a police officer, because she said something he didn't like, according to the Yorkshire Post's Bill Carmichael.

Nice to see so many articulate takedowns of Carmichael's horrific nonsense underneath the story, by the way.

And some people still wonder why newspapers like the Yorkshire Post are haemorrhaging readers. Maybe because some of the people who write for them are nasty, unpleasant fuckers who offend those readers so they don't come back? Bonus Littlejohn points, by the way, for the use of

Poor love! She sounds a delicate flower, doesn't she?

to emphasise the misogyny. Why, it's as if the great man himself had hopped over from his Florida bolthole and taken up residence in Yorkshire, isn't it?

According to Carmichael, if someone says something you don't like, or annoys you, you should be allowed to hit them and strike them with a weapon. Lefty-Guardianista peacenik that I am, it would be nice to test that out by pulverising his stupid face into a bloody pulp to see how he liked it. Presumably he'd accept that he 'deserved a slap' and say no more about it? Lest he be called a 'delicate flower', of course.

Cunt.

  1. In case you missed it here’s Brian Coleman saying much the same:

  2. My favourite comment on the subject is this…

    “It was akin to finding the biggest guy in the pub, going up to him and informing him that you’ve had his mum, and she that she was shit, and then whining that the bad man hit you.”

    No-one deserves to get battered like that but she’s not the innocent bystander Max Clifford is making her out to be.

    She’s hardly Rodney King!

  3. Nice to have you back, I have missed your sharp, incisive and always correct stabs at the right wing press. With you all the way on this one.

  4. What an idiot this man is…

    Although I’m not sure calling a sexist person a cunt is the right way to go about things.

  5. @Joiliet68. I don’t think even Rodney King is “Rodney King”, if by “Rodney King” you mean “unblemished, blameless example of humanity beaten on by police”. Going through Clifford is irrelevant. Shouting at a policeman is irrelevant. The police are supposed to be generally against twatting people in the face and responding to verbal provocation (if that’s what you want to call it) with violence. Policemen, unlike the big guy in the pub, are meant to be hot for law and order.

  6. On the upside, unlike the the Mail articles you feature, the commentors are at least clued up enough to rip into the author. Maybe the newspaper will see sense enough to reprimand Carmichael and think twice before printing articles like this again

  7. Was a little disappointed no-one wheeled out an old miner to point our police brutality isn’t what it used to be.
    If she’d had done that 25 years ago she’d have been holding up her teeth in a bag for the cameras.

    Am I the only one to think that going straight to Clifford has somehow diluted what happened to her?
