Top Six - September 22

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 places to go and people to see later. So there.

6 Priti Patel LIED To Andrew Marr Our new Home Secretary claimed she had not advocated for the death penalty after becoming an MP. Not true.

5 Ben Stokes Nails The Sun The England cricketer responded with great dignity to the Murdoch goons digging up a story about his family from before he was born. Press misbehaviour never really went away.

4 Gareth Thomas Nails The Sun Hard on the heels of the Stokes story came the news that a tabloid had effectively blackmailed Thomas, threatening to tell the world that he was living with HIV. No prizes for guessing the identity of the paper concerned.

3 Bozo NHS Row - BBC In Fawkes Sewer The pointing out of the Twitter handle of the man who confronted our alleged Prime Minister at Whipps Cross University Hospital over lack of NHS resources - while telling the world he was a Labour activist - was not a good look for the Corporation.

2 Frances Barber’s Bigoted Meltdown Attacking brown people and Jews - what does that sound like?

1 Tommy Robinson - Back To Intimidation Stephen Yaxley Lennon went after a man with mental health problems who was not a danger to anyone. But grifters gonna grift.

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