The whiff of hypocrisy has become a stench - not so much Rusbridger's, more the utter hypocrisy of man of the people Piers Moron, sorry now multi-millionaire "celebrity", and then Independent editor Simon Kelner jumping on the bandwagon too, conveniently forgetting his secret massive salary, million-pound flat, aristocratic friends and chauffeured car. This hypocrisy club is getting large ...

Oy vey! There's no force like market force. He subjects himself to an S&M session in GQ even! Proof, were any needed, that there's no humiliating depth to which Harry Potter and the Berliner Ensemble will not stoop in their ever more desperate pursuit of the ill-identified yoof market. Only possible explanation for such touching masochism. It brings a tear to the eye.

Is the Caribbean not quite the safe haven for bloggers that we might believe? Or do you have friends to protect?

2007-04-02T22:55:00.000+01:00

Piers Morgan has admitted an affair with Marina Hyde of The Guardian: if his diaries are to be believed (and, believe me, the ex-post editing of these journals appears substantial), they were at one point living together when he was separated from Mrs Pughe-Morgan.

The nudge and the wink from Guido, and Rusbridger's reluctance to comment, clearly suggests that Ms Hyde has bedded more than one national newspaper editor.

Morgan has in the past been obsessive (to a degree bordering on the vindictive) about protecting his own privacy - witness his long-running feud with Ian Hislop after Private Eye had a crack at aspects of his privat life - so for him to try to stitch Rusbridger up as a hypocrite is, ahem, a tad hypocritical. But perhaps the release from the cares of national newspaper editorship has mellowed him.

What was Stephen Fry's definition of the word "countryside"?

2007-04-02T22:20:00.000+01:00

Did anybody manage to read more than a few paragraphs of that greasy nonsense? Yeucch. Nasty people.

But even greater bollocks is this: "Strangely they didn't discuss Rusbridger's private life in much detail, which is odd when you consider what him and Piers have in common."

Nudge, nudge.

What the hell is the point of this anonymous offshore persona that you pretend to have, Guido, if you can't actually say what you're commenting on?

Some of us haven't spent time in the London/Westminster/Fleet St swill, so don't know what you're alluding to. And don't know why we might care.

Spell it out, if it's important.

re previous post - I have now looked at the article and I see that Rusbridger does have offspring and won't comment on where they go to school... By his own standards (cf his view of of Dave and substance misuse)this is an admission that he has braved the wrath of Polly and Fiona Millar and eschewed the state's offering.

2007-04-02T21:36:00.000+01:00

Does Rusbridger have offspring? If so, it would be interesting to know where they go to school given the Grauniad's habitual vilification of independent schools.

What a pair!That Guardian editor and his sidekick who was on the TV with you.Do they ever have an original thought unless approved by the Guardian Committee of Public Safety headed by Citizen Toynbee?You should be editor and give a few cushy jobs to poor right trash who think Starbucks is a greyhound's name and the best thing to do with Cotswold villages is to drive a 38 ton Volvo through them flat out.

Good interview by PM BUT why didn't he ask Rusbridger if the reason for the Guardian's poor coverage of the Jowell/Mills imbroglio was really due to his personal friendship with the couple and is this not rather a corrupt act by a national newspaper editor?

We all pay Rusbridger's wages. Millions in taxpayers money goes to the Guardian every week to advertise thousands of public sector diversity-officer type non-jobs.

No wonder Alan is rolling in it and always looks so smug.

2007-04-02T17:28:00.000+01:00

Piers appears to be very well-informed. Do you think he has a mole?

Re the Grauniad, people tend to find this posting informative. Red-blooded capitalism powering the Grauniad Media Group. Couple their 9 figure losses over the last two years with the fact that the Tories are planning on pulling the £100m pa public sector advertising from under their feet, it's hardly surprising that they are panicking. This includes slurring the Tories when possible.

Damn, I never thought that I would like anything done by Piers Morgan, but that interview had me laughing out loud as I read it. My co-workers must think I am mad!

2007-04-02T16:44:00.000+01:00

Guido, how come the bastards get away with advertising all those public sector gravy train jobs in a small circulation non-specialist rag like the guardian ?
Surely there are rules that say public sector jobs must be advertised to the general public. After all, this is an equal oportunities issue, so there must be a commission with responsibility for seeing that the guardian don't get a disproportionate share.

But no mention of the fact that they both like riding around in a Marina?

2007-04-02T16:36:00.000+01:00

Presumably what Alan and Piers have in common is a taste for Marina Hyde. Who can blame them? I can't get enought of her. In fact, I can't get any of her. Ten grand a week might help.
