Top Six – June 1

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’m back out in the garden later. So there.

6 Katie Hopkins – Don’t Engage Brain First Does exactly what it says on the tin. Motormouth in stream of consciousness jibberish no shock horror.

5 UKIP – Small Problem In Redditch Dave Small lasted just five days after his election to the local Council before the Kippers threw him out for racism and homophobia. No surprise there.

4 WLFS – Why The Head Had To Go: the story behind the sudden departure of former West London Free School headmaster Sam Naismith is starting to emerge, despite the efforts of the loathsome Toby Young to keep a lid on it.

3 IPSO And The Hillsborough Apologist The new and supposedly very wonderful press regulator appointed William Newman to its board. The former Sun managing editor who not only excused, but backed faithfully, then editor Kelvin MacKenzie over the pack of lies the paper span over the Hillsborough stadium disaster. And the press wonder why people don’t take IPSO seriously.

2 UKIP Win – What It Means So Nigel “Thirsty” Farage and his fellow saloon bar propper-uppers came top of the European election poll. That means 24 MEPs not bothering to turn up, using the EP as a place to have a snooze, and voting when they can be arsed to wake up.

1 Mail Joey Barton Story Backfires The Dacre doggies were so keen to kick the BBC that they found themselves out of step with the rest of the press, some of whose pundits praised the footballer for his directness and candour.

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