Crumble in the jungle as supermodel Janice is a Bushtucker flop
this is our mother tongue?
least comprehensible british headline of the week, so far

Yes, it is one “mother” of a tongue…
Sorry, I had to go there.
Marko, as one of your Brit buddies, can I point out that we pretty much disowned the Daily Mail as a source of news, truth or anything good about twenty years ago. It seems to pitch itself at Middle-Class female fascists. Although, quite frighteningly, it sells well over a million copies every day.
Oh and Jeff: No Royal Family, no opinion. God Save The Queen!
Martin, have we even disowned the Daily Mail when it comes to information about ‘I’m a celebrity…’ ( http://www.itv.com/ ). Surely the immigrants and asylum seekers aren’t trying to take Ant & Dec’s jobs too?!
Too speak in tongues (mother tongues that is) you must need an interpreter. I looked at the article and still don’t get it.
Take your point about the asylum seekers Jeff, but did Ant and Dec have something to do with DIANA’S DEATH: NEW EVIDENCE SHOCKER!!!?
DEC-SPICABLE ANTICS!
SHOCK: NEWCASTLE DUO EXPOSED AS EASTERN EUROPEAN JIHADIS!
EXPOSED: 18 YEAR PLOT TO SUBVERT WHITE MIDDLE BRITAIN!
SHAME: BROWN WHITEWASHES BLACK EVIDENCE!
