Summoned by the legendarily foul mouthed Paul Dacre to
contribute something in addition to her usual Wednesday Me-Me-Me-fest, Sarah
Vine, better known as the woman married to Michael “Oiky” Gove, has decided to pass severely adverse comment on Rolling
Stones front man Mick Jagger, for the heinous crime of enjoying a relationship
with a member of the opposite sex.
You wouldn't be jealous of her, then, Sarah?
“So crass and
disrespectful: SARAH VINE on THOSE balcony pictures of Mick Jagger and mystery
brunette... and how rock legend, 70, is too old for such behaviour” thunders
the headline, borrowing the Sun’s
tradition of using CAPITAL letters to tell READERS that some words are VERY
IMPORTANT and they should therefore PAY ATTENTION because IT’S WRITTEN, THAT’S
WHY.
What, then, has Mick done to upset Mrs “Oiky”? “It is just 11 weeks
since [l’Wren] Scott was found hanged
in her New York apartment ... at the time of her death he seemed utterly
distraught ... He’s clearly a man who gets over things quickly ... Even
if, as friends say, sex is a coping mechanism for Jagger ... there is no
justification for parading his young ‘therapists’ half-naked in public”.
There was a lot more, but hey, some of us have lives, Sarah.
And, as Jon Stewart might have said, two things here. One, there is no set time
during which men, or women, have to mourn a lost partner – other, of course,
than that dreamed up by the bitter and righteous at the Daily Mail. And two, Jagger was parading nothing in public – the photo
was taken with a long lens. That, Sarah, is called intrusion.
But Ms Vine has the inside track on Jagger: “anyone who has ever seen Sir Mick in action
should not be surprised at his behaviour ... I once sat at a table in a
restaurant and watched him”. Hello, the déjà vu klaxon just went off. I
wonder why that might be ... yes, we’ve
been here before, only the last man she observed in a restaurant – these blokes
get everywhere, eh? – was Hugh Grant.
Only that time she
got to sit next to him (my commiserations, Hugh): “He is funny, quick-witted and incredibly charming. Even when talking to
an old boiler like me, he has a way of making a woman feel like the most
beautiful creature on the planet. As
a friend of mine once put it: ‘That man can fell a pair of knickers at 100
paces’”. Bugger all use unless you’re actually there,
mind.
Why can't they cope with a little press intrusion, I mean, what's their problem? Er, hang on a minute ...
And what this is really about, although Ms Vine isn’t
about to tell her readers, is to put the boot in to anyone who takes a stand
against press misbehaviour and intrusion. Jagger wasn’t happy with his
treatment after l’Wren Scott died, and Grant supports Hacked Off. So both get
kicked. Meanwhile, the pundit who did the deed is ... whining about press intrusion
on Twitter. You really couldn’t make it up.
Sarah Vine is just another unprincipled hypocrite. So no surprise there, then.

Re Mick Jagger : no one's business but his.
Re the tweet: does she not have a back yard? Is she not allowed out on her own? Can she not walk past reporters? Time to have a word with Michael.
