Did he get his knighthood while we were away?

No, but were the rumours of him being given chairmanship of OFCOM and a peerage around before or during The Quiet Time?

Planning a new career move, most people at 72 would happily cart themselves off to the Costa Blanco for sun and sangria until they could move no more.

You underestimate the motivational power of vindictive spite.

Alastair Campbell reporting that Cunty McCuntface has pulled out of the Ofcom carve-up.

And he's not happy...

Great news, if true! Does Campbell know why?

Edit: Sorry, cross posted!.

The phrase boo hoo fucking hoo springs to mind. If I have one wish in this world, it's that this spunktrumpet, this latter day Lord Haw Haw who despises this country, is held responsible for all that he has caused.

Dacre trying to pull the old "they didn't like my private sectorness".

You didn't have experience of broadcasting or regulating, and your own standards were atrocious.

Maybe Nadine Dorries could appoint him as Andrew Marr's replacement?

I genuinely cannot think of someone more unsuitable: Ofcom isn't just about TV - people forget that.

Maybe he'll become Lord Dacre of Arnos Grove instead.

They'll probably try and appoint Richard Desmond next.

It's about time we had those rotten lefties being bawled out and called cunts on a Sunday morning. I am all for this. I would happily go on while he is still trying to get his eye in.

Meanwhile, what's this I spotted on his Wiki entry?

In November 2021, Dacre resigned as chairman and editor-in-chief of Associated Newspapers.
