Top Six - April 12

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 house maintenance stuff to do later. So there.

6 Ed Miliband Is Now A Sex Machine Andrew Pierce’s lame Daily Mail hatchet job only served to make the Labour leader more human, and to demolish the paper’s caricature of him as weak, weird and useless. Bad move, Dacre doggies.

5 Daily Mail Non Dom Hypocrisy A paper that regularly bashes the French turns out to be owned by someone who uses his, er, French ancestry as a means of obtaining “non dom” tax status. Yes, you really couldn’t make it up.

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