Will Self is absolutely right. We're left with a shopping centre.

[DrSpooglemon]

Will self really does cut through the crap. I like him...

:D

[Andy Best]

Will Self nails the whole thing in his first utterance, the rest is redundant.

she didn't stand a chance

[KapStuf]

Tessa Jowel waffling and lying as usual. Miss double-barrelled barroness just waffling.

And Will Self having to state the bleeding obvious.

Who remembers the Olympics, who cares? With that money invested you, could've sorted out the district and circle line because its shite! Cheers Tessa and Nu Labour you bunch of stupid moorons!

[stinker74]

Miserable bastard. Maybe we should of spent the money on wind farms.

[AlienPsyTing1]

... didn't he win an Olympic Gold for crap cutting ?

[v1m]

Self looks as if he is trying to stem a throatload of vomit as the pollyanna Jowell blathers on.

I wish US television had someone of substance like him, and not its usual dufuses.

Will Self.....a pseudo intelect.....a boorish fool

[TheMangoDeluxe]

Wow. Self owned here.

[Josh C]

We need people such as Will Self to pose as the antithesis of social normalities. This unattainable ideal of the world as some heavenly paradise where everything is perfect, where delusional distractions such as the olympics, give people a chance to avoid reality.
