More fan mail

I think I must be on some sort of UKIP watch-list. I think as an unpopular, easily dislikeable, politically insignificant party, they must be going after the unpopular, easily dislikeable, politically insignificant pundits. In this case: myself.
As you probably know, considering the amount of times that I’ve mentioned it, I write a column in the Herald & Post newspaper – and last week, someone wrote in to the paper to complain about a column I wrote a few weeks back praising the European Union and the Lisbon Treaty… I think they might like me.
Well, at least it’s a bit politer than my previous piece of a fan-mail.
My first reaction is that it’s not exactly… dispelling any myths about the UKIP mindset. World War II is still ongoing, and we can’t trust the foreigns – especially the treacherous French. His authority on this matter seems to stem from the fact that he’s vaguely related to a lot of events that occured in the war. Bizarre.
My favourite bit though is the number of pull-out quotes talking about me. That’s right, even on issues as important as Europe, or, er, World War II, I’m still making myself more important:
“Mr O’Malley is an undemocratic ignoramus”
I’m also a “gaping cunt“.
“Still wet behind his ears”
“Perhaps [I] should try [being a WWII firefighter] or better still, but his brain in gear before he opens his mouth”
Because all of the best political commentators trained as World War II firefighters?
“Perhaps you should buy [me] a dictionary?”
I’m not sure what warranted this.
UKIP: Our calendars stop in 1943.
