Carol Thatcher stands by her golliwog remark

After seeing her on The Andrew Marr show, I’ve concluded that Carol Thatcher’s gob lives in another era and her brain resides on another planet.
I’ve posted the video of her using the political correctness gone mad argument on the Andrew Marr show over on my Blue Blog – for once something/someone genuinely offensive on the new site.

You do someone a favour….

You subtly point out that a blogger could either make a bundle of money or he may have made a legal faux-pas in a post.
My comment:

I reckon your description of Adrian Chiles shows you have some evidence about him that the Nationals are desparate to get hold of.
I’ve only seen the odd insinuation but you’ve obviously got the evidence and the balls to say it outright on your site.
You should get in touch with the press pronto and make a bundle while you can.

He subsequently makes a stealth-edit and adds the word ‘allegedly’ before his description of someone in the public eye. Considering he used the word ‘alleged’ when referring to Carol Thatcher’s green room comments, it seems to have been quite an oversight (for someone who should know better) not to qualify his statement about Adrian Chiles in the same way.

A little later, I’m taken to task by one of his regular commenters for not understanding the meaning of the newly materialised word.

My later comment, made a few hours ago, pointing out there was an amendment following my ‘advice’ has yet to be approved and published.
Maybe the blogger’s a bit busy or maybe he’s a tad concerned to acknowledge the post in its original form was visible for between 5 and 7 hours before it was edited.

I’m sure he’ll do the right thing eventually.

Update – He has done the right thing and posted my comment.

Anyway, here’s another tart card I produced for the Mark Thomas competition. Much too subtle and you’d need to have an idea of a certain artist’s work to get it:
