Stupid journalist

[ladyofastolat]

From this week's local paper, in the "quirky and humorous" opinion column: "At Walk the Wight, how many people's spirits were uplifted by the constant jingle-wingle of Morris Dancers' bells, or - much more likely - did they vow to bring a pair of pliers next year to snip them off their stupid, stockinged feet."

I am far more annoyed by this than I ought to be. If the bells are annoying, you can get ahead, or drop behind. No need to walk in earshot of them. But it's the "stupid stockinged feet" that makes me cross. I am so fed up with the fact that Morris dance is so derided in its home country, when foreign folk traditions are encouraged.

Stupid man.

The desire of 'opinion-formers' in the press to enforce dull uniformity knows no bounds.
