Top Six – May 4

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 have correspondence to attend to later. So there.

6 Boris Lord Of The Rings Fail London’s occasional Mayor devoted his Monday column to a lame attack on Mil The Younger, demonstrating along the way that he hadn’t bothered to do any research beforehand. And then the anti-Semitic overtones of the piece were pointed out.

5 Toby Young’s £9 Million School Building The loathsome Tobes’ West London Free School was discovered to have shelled out £9.25 million on an office block, to house only part of the school. And that’s our money that’s being spent.

4 Food Islamophobia Takes Hold The scare over Halal meat was rather obviously not about animal welfare. And the stress on Islam rather than Judaism – both require particular and similar methods of slaughter – tells you all you need to know. It was, once again, about Scary Muslims.

3 UKIP In Charlie Bloom Meltdown Nigel “Thirsty” Farage was nailed by an audience member on last Thursday’s Question Time. So that audience member was then subjected to a barrage of abuse by UKIP’s paranoid fringe.

2 Max Clifford – Max Dacre Pundit Grovel There was no getting out of it – the Daily Mail wanted to blame anyone else for Max Clifford getting away with it, but they were just as prepared as the rest to accommodate him.

1 Toby Young’s School In Meltdown The loathsome Tobes’ West London Free School has lost several staff members. Now it has lost a headmaster in mid-term. And there is a lack of openness about what is going on.

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