Murdoch
MySpace just refused to accept a message I was sending because it contained apostrophes! Rupert Murdoch is clearly a cretin - though I think we knew that already.
The revolution has begun. No longer will we put up with dodgy speeling, misplaced apostrophes' or improper; punctuation? P.S. pointing out bad grammar in postings is banned. To justify this I'm applying a form of grammatical 'absolute privilege', as the public interest in publishing mistakes far outweighs the cost to the public of making further mistakes. Call me a hypocrite if you will, but it works in Westminster.
