Is it me just wondering if the producer had looked like Adam Fogarty we'd not be hearing this story? I suspect we'd be reading that Jeremy was quite happy to eat a plate of cold cuts after a hard day filming!

That story could actually appear on the Daily Mail website and you might be reading it but no one else would.

I see the baboon-eating man of the people AA Gill has bravely leapt to Jeremey's defence. Apparently no-one works harder & under more stress. Not under-paid nurses or junior doctors or teachers. Not those on minimum wage or zero hours contracts living in squalid conditions. Not single parents. Not social workers. It's time we admitted Jeremy is the victim in this.

All those jokes and that banter are not off-the-cuff wit.

You don't say.

I have to wear special asbestos gloves when holding it as it's apparently produced by the same reactionary right-wing rag that I cannot bring myself to type.

*And I would only ever give money for a proper paper.
