I'm a little bit disappointed that they didn't say Kyle made a name for himself by monetising human misery for entertainment purposes.

I edited the entries.

But there's a risk of this degenerating into "People I don't like" list, including luminaries like Paul Burrell, Ant and Dec.

And that would be the only reasoning if you asked, say the Mail, to create a “shit list”; people we don’t like, but have no rational or evidence to support their view e.g Gary Lineker, Greta Thunberg

Just to add, Nolan's focus on the Robinson marriage was extremely handy for keeping the fact that the paper of them were as crooked as a dog's hind leg nice and low in the public memory.

I'm a hopeless, bleeding heart, leftish liberal (with a residue of Catholic guilt from my younger years thrown in for good measure), and I've spent years pondering the same question about the sort of people on the list whilst knowing full well that most would despise me. That is, are they 'bad' or just 'wrong'? I'm concerned that I lean towards towards belief in the former whilst knowing that contradicts my liberal sensibilities. Or am I just a complete wuss and accept that generally, they really are just a bunch of cunts?

*should accept

They have. Quentin Letts wrote a book called "50 People who Buggered up Britain*", while earlier this year the Mail ran a "woke list" (filler, just summaries of people they didn't like).

*James O'Brien has a similar thing but from a left/liberal perspective in the works.

50 people to wreck a reasonably ok country. That is little over 1: 1,000,000 adults and not even the ERG.

You'd need a NYT Sunday edition to document this cast of villains.

Coming out on 2 November. I’ve had it on Amazon pre-order since May.

Ditto.

My mixed faith upbringing - CofE mother, Catholic father - has left me free to enjoy myself but feel really guilty afterwards...
