A small man enters. He looks a little like a monkey. Slowly he climbs onto a soapbox.
Right, well I was watching Celebrity Atrocity (or whatever it was called) last night, and I became enraged. One, they were such babies. Make a decision! Two, now I don’t expect much from Amanda Platell, but arguing that you shouldn’t shoot down an airliner because “women and children are onboard”, is a bit much. Is that how you measure human life? By gender and age? If it were a plane full of men, would it be OK to sacrifice it? And another thing, this child worship… If you have to pick between a five year old and an eighty nine year old, then fine, save the kid. In general though, children are much of a muchness. It takes twenty, thirty years to make an adult, you can have an infant in four. Therefore grown-ups are more valuable. While I have this platform I’d also like to draw attention to Celebrity Fit Club, surely the best programme on television. Yesterday had Jonno Coleman jogging in Vanessa Feltz’s swimming pool. You don’t forget that image in a hurry. Priceless. Right, well, thanks for listening. Have a good day. Bye.
