The rich aren't all merchant bankers/February 24th 2012.

Richie - Yawn! Hic! Burp! Fart! How right you are to pen yet another article defending the indefensible bankers and gin-sozzled spivs who have brought this great country to its knees! I was a tiny bit worried you were going to write a special tribute to Marie Colvin, the courageous and passionate war correspondent who was murdered in Syria this week. Ms Colvin upheld the highest journalistic ideals and in 1999 in East Timor she was credited with saving the lives of 1,500 women and children from a compound besieged by Indonesian-backed forces. Of course she never managed to scale the journalistic heights that you have, Lord Richie, with your crusading in-depth analysis of wheelie bins and the cut of elf n safety high viz jackets. And who can forget your withering, well-balanced articles about the Ipswich prozzies and vile nasty Japs! Well done Rich I say! Let the other do-gooder journos write solemn praise in Ms Colvin's memory. Here in Richie-Land it's business as usual. Support the rich and to hell with everyone else! Hic! Burp! Zzzzzzzzzzzz...
