[Marcus538]

ooooh I have a thing for Ladies like that, the bob cut is just the start of it,

[tantotonto]

Isabel Hilton - brilliant journalist, in paticular on China. And she looks down on all this absurd wrasngling in fleet strret with wit and well deserved contempt.

[LegionX51]

Does anyone know the introduction music?

[Freshhhhh1982]

Birchill is a disgusting fat cunt and I hope that she sees the other side of free speech, it has consequences.

[MrCFCarePOO]

@Freshhhhh1982 Priveliged son of a Lord,Toby Young is a vain yet ugly bad-cycling ~ run over on HollandParkAvenue 'cos he answered his mobi,dopey wazzock ~ elitist-school-promoting MateOfDave Tory twat.All for a free press,he is made up that Shami Chakrabarti,Elinor Goodman & George Jones are on the #Hackgate inquiry panel because they won't promote statutory press regulation.Ah yes Tobes is all for the status quo ante seeing as the press is doing such a responsible job of self-regulation.

[edmund184]

This always was one of the funniest programmes on television.

Never take it seriously, it's about the appalling press we have in this country.

[zia685]

burchill is a fat racist bitch that needs a knife up her ass

[sirreghead]

Burchill is a fat obnoxious,hateful cow.But,worst of all she is a lover and defender of child killers.

To David 552 yes I plead guilty on all counts I am being myopic in my

observations.However the Matrix Churchill affair was of primary

consideration at the time.

[MBHD153]

I am pleased to say that What The Papers Say has made a welcome return, in audio form at least, to BBC Radio 4 on Sunday night at 10:45pm.

I think Julie Burchill is a fantasist, who seems to think everyone wants her and is just hateful and hateful. Though Toby Young is also a complete and utter arsehole. Burchill maybe controvesial but arrogance isn't attractive and neither is her self obsession.

I love this presenter, she is very, very funny and better with words. Burchill once claimed to have run the Modern Review by supplying the staff with coke, if anyone believe it to be remotely true, why was she not done for supplying? 

[mogwali1]

This presenter has Julie Burchill down to a T: A self regarding contoversialist - a self important nobody.

[TheSparkle7]

oh i was reading that burchill in the sun today moaning about chris moyles slagging off beth ditto wot the fucks it to do with her? stupid feminist slag

[balmullo]

I agree Scotty, her writing is brilliant. Makes you irritated, offended and laugh, just as it should. She was/is amazingly talented

[scotty123123]

Julie Burchill is the most talented journalist of our generation - her old NME and Guardian columns are small-scale works of genius.

[Kraal7718]

Well, its interesting seeing this here, as i found it by typing julie burchill into the search bar.  I knew nothing about her till 2005, when she made that stupid documentry defending chavs, and had very misinformed and deluded views that were easily flawed. This woman is a complete idiot, how does someone like this get allowed to suceed in journalism, is beyond me

[Spamhero]

There seems to be a hidden agenda here.Lord Scott was investigating the

churchil-matrix affair. Why would that offend Isabel Hiltton? Nothing except it

left a considerable amount of egg on the

faces of the conservative front bench

at the time.

[david552]

@Spamhero she was being sarcastic, genius....

[RobinCarmody]

God, I miss What the Papers Say.
