I always thought Kilroy's ignorance was feined for TV...
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... BBC News Report...

I think that there will soon be something else on BBC 1 at 9 every morning.

Kilroy-Silk is a failed Labour MP, minor Z-list "celeb", piss-poor TV presenter and nobody gives a flying f**k what he thinks anyway.
What's the circulation of the Sunday Express? 1 million? Of those probably 20% of people will have actually read & understood the inferences of the article, and of those possibly 0.01% will feel moved to actually do something. So, like 20 people are affected, on this island of 57 million. Hardly worth the fuss really. |

kilroy
What's bothering me is why the fuss now?He said the same things 8 months ago.The man is a prat anyway.The real problem is the millions of people who agree with him.The BNP lap this sort of thing up.We might end up with a BNP MP.Not just a few local idiots.What would happen if the press started to surport this sort of stuff.Does anybody remember the SDP.Nothing would surprise me with the British public.After Maggie and the miners(the enemy within)I lost all faith.

The bbc probably dug this story up as an excuse to axe his show or something.
Has anyone read the original article? It would be interesting to find out how much were the quotes were taken out of context. |
