Top Six – May 5

So what’s hot, and what’s not, in the past week’s blogging? Here are the six most popular posts on Zelo Street for the past seven days, counting down in reverse order, because, well, I’ve got a train to catch. So there.

6 Leveson – Littlejohn Shows His Support The Daily Mail’s unfunny and talentless churnalist Richard Littlejohn demonstrated the need for independent press regulation in style as he reeled off more than twenty whoppers in a single column.

5 UKIP – The Really Good News Nobody should be downhearted at the council seats gained by Nigel “Thirsty” Farage and his pals last week, and here’s why.

4 Guido Fawked – Routinely Rabid Racism The perpetually thirsty Paul Staines and his rabble at the Guido Fawkes blog continued their obsession with Labour MP Chuka Umunna, with an old and characteristically cheap racist jibe on the side.

3 Death On The Motorway Fatal accidents on the UK’s motorways are thankfully rare. There was one last week, however, and here’s some background and explanation of what may have happened.

2 Leveson – No Stopping It Now The rival press Royal Charter won’t derail a new era in press regulation, whatever the spin. The delay in taking the March 18 Charter to the Privy Council doesn’t stop it, either.

1 The Flying Scottish Industrial Estate The Mail tried to pull a UFO shock horror story, but the reality was more down to earth. Do not be afraid of getting on the plane, folks, whatever the Dacre hacks may dream up.

And that’s the end of another blogtastic week, blog pickers. Not ‘arf!
