Well, for one thing, thank goodness David Parker is watching Fox News, because he might learn something, as opposed to that lefty stuff he seems to be embroiled in normally.

Why we should use the Oxford comma

bowtiesinthedungeon:

A direct quote from The Times newspaper, talking about a Peter Ustinov documentary and saying that:

 “highlights of his global tour include encounters with Nelson Mandela, an 800-year-old demigod and a dildo collector”.

A new side to Nelson Mandela Or is it the Murdoch Press trying to sensationalize again? What have they learned from tapping Nelson Mandela’s phone?

While most newspapers groups in Britain pay 30% or more in corporation tax, Murdoch’s News International (which since 1986 has made profits of nearly £1bn (£979.4m) pays virtually nothing. Thanks to the adroit but quite legal way in which Murdoch’s accountants have transferred profits and losses in his multinational company from one country to another, sometimes involving letterbox companies in offshore tax havens. It may be an embarrassing disclosure to both Murdoch and his new friend Tony Blair. It also explains how his BSkyB can afford to secure a virtual monopoly on all football matches played in Britain. And he can afford to wage a price war on weaker papers.

You just don’t understand the readers, do you, eh? He’s the bloke you see in the pub, a right old fascist, wants to send the wogs back, buy his poxy council house, he’s afraid of the unions, afraid of the Russians, hates the queers and the weirdoes and drug dealers.
Kelvin McKenzie, while editing The Sun, as quoted in P. Chippendale and C. Horrie: The History of The Sun.

I’m ashamed to be telling you this because we are supposed to be living in a free, democratic country but we are not.

We are living in a society where people are wage slaves and treated very badly and that’s the circumstance I found at the News of the World.

Steve Turner, general secretary of the British Association of Journalists, to the Leveson inquiry
