For those of you who have the pleasure of never knowing the smarmy nature of Mr Robert Kilroy-Silk (could you be anything other than smarmy with a name like that?), I'll let you in on the fact that he's a British morning TV presenter.

He hosts a chat show, imaginatively entitled 'Kilroy', where all manner of witless ignoramuses gather and debate a particular issue - you know the sort. Anyway, he's renowned for acting like an arse on his show by making unbelievably stupid remarks, misquoting statements or accusing people in order to prompt a debate in the studio, with all the subtlety of a Monty Python sketch.

But here's the catch... I always thought his misplaced populistic attitutes were there to appeal to the weak-minded but that he laid the feined ignorance on a bit thick. Ultimately, I considered him a dickhead for those reasons... turns out I was wrong...
