Top of my list
I have a new Life President of Rory’s Most Hated People On Earth Club.
There was a programme on Radio 4 today all about ‘The Dunkirk Spirit.’ They were discussing what the phrase means and how often it gets applied to different situations, and of course they looked back at what happened at Dunkirk in 1940 and why that time has come to encapsulate a certain kind of heroism and determination.
One of the guests - a woman who sounded like she would be more at home on one of those wanky self-indulgent arts shows that makes me want to boil my own blood and pour it in my ears so I don’t have to listen - was asked about ‘The Dunkirk Spirit’ and what it might have meant to different generations. This woman; this repulsive, self-absorbed, lower-than-puddle-dwelling-scum-bugs daughter-of-darkness; actually compared the plight of soldiers in France in World War Two to the fame-chasing, self-serving efforts made by the pop group One Direction, and she said it with pitiful conviction.
The host of the programme even gave her a chance to backtrack and talk her way out of the stupid position she had put herself in, and she turned him down flat. Her voice got louder and even more self-assured as she said “Yes…. I am making that comparison.”
I didn’t get the lady’s name, which is probably just as well because I think I would have looked her up and located her by now and found a way of locking her in a confined space somewhere so no-one would ever again have to suffer her misguided, ill-informed, ego-driven, narcissistic, mock-Millennial bullshit spoutings.
What a ****.
