The Banned List
I like banning things. It makes me feel important. The following people are banned from my house.
- George Galloway
- Robert Kilroy-Silk
- Richard Dawkins
- Ken Livingstone
- Anne Robinson
- Julia Hartley-Brewer
Chief crimes are arrogance and general offensiveness. Catherine thinks we should ban Fern Cotton. I don’t think she understands how important my list is. Any other suggestions?

Remember that Kilroy was my idea. How about Bob Crow and Ken Livingstone?

I didn’t notice Ken was already there. I think you might want Jeremy Clarkson too, but I’m afraid that I would have to veto.

Oh Yeah Bob Crow and Jeremy Clarkson are definitely going on, plus Michael O’Leary – the most odious man in the world. Not sure you can claim credit for Kilroy Tom, I think he’d appear on most people’s lists.

Weird, in my house Richard Dawkins is on the ‘always welcome’ list.

I’d reply here but my objections to Richard Dawkins deserve a blog entry of their own.

That’s fine – he’d be welcome at my house any time. It’d be a sad day if the folks like Clarkson were forever silenced by the people without a sense of humour.

Who’s Julia Hartley-Brewer? That’s the only name I don’t recognise. I’f ‘arrogance and general offensiveness bothers you, consider banning people who write for the Daily Mail.

Please can you add me to your band list of people, as a precaution. I am very opinionated and have the tendency to offend.

11, I think JHB does write for the Daily Mail…..( looks ) Actually she writes for the Express. That’s even worse!

Catherine Tate. I find her offensive. She’s annoys me with a passion.

Hmm, I think the Jeremy Clarkson rant is going to need an entry all of its own too… Julia Hartley-Brewer is an awful woman who writes for the daily express, she’s been on Have I Got News For You a couple of times. If you think about crossing Polly Toynbee’s sense of righteous outrage with politics only slightly to the left of Nick Griffin and you get something close.
In fact maybe Polly Toynbee should be added too. I’m rejecting Catherine Tate I’m afraid, she’s in a different class of annoying.

Go for it – I’m ready for some debate :)
