Some People Just Don't Get It

The Eye is apparently 50 years old. Happy birthday. I'm not a regular reader but I regard Ian Hislop as something of a national treasure - certainly more worthy than Stephen Fry. This is what Roy Hattersley thinks of Hislop's organ,

"public schoolboys laughing at the world outside the dormitory… at the expense of the peccadilloes and pretentions of lesser mortals".

It does strike me that earning the opprobrium of so arch an inverted snob as Hattersley is a mark of greatness. Roy mate, I didn't go to public school (though some of my best friends etc) and I find it funny. As we say round these parts, get over yourself you knob.
