Louise Mensch and John Lydon on Any Questions

[David Johnson]

Blimey!!!!

I'm only teasing about you having the hots for her, you know?

I note you make absolutely no comment whatsoever about her apparent ability to come across as extraordinarily dim at times which you appear to have accepted.

"Still, I think Mensch has got far more publicity out of being on the Parliamentary Panel that grilled the Murdochs than her cover shoot for GQ."

Agreed and she has milked it to the full as all "publicity mad MPs" do with far more appearances on TV than any other member of that panel as far as I can see.

You are concentrating only on TV appearances. From a publicity point of view, you do not mention all the other stuff like twitter arguments with Joey Barton, Piers Morgan, my drugs horror, my twitter haters, my twitter business etc etc etc which are all part of the publicity mad thing.

"but if Louise Mensch is a publicity whore, like you accuse her of being"

That is wrong. You are getting mixed up with Jim Slip who was banging on about something completely different as per usual. I described her as a "publicity-mad airhead".

I regret to say that your work on numbers of appearances on Question Time is largely meaningless from your point of view. As you partially imply everyone else on that list has either been a leader of a political party, or a shadow or government cabinet minister and had on the whole loads more experience, apart from one person. Yes, you have got it, Louise Mensch. So in short, your list highlights that Mensch is punching above her weight.

But hey this is nothing to have an endless debate about in the scheme of things. I think she is a publicity mad airhead. You don't. C'est la vie as they say in Blackpool.

If I had easy access to all articles in print, online discussions and TV appearances I'd have used them before making up my mind. Unfortunately I only have HIGNFY and QT lists to go on and the available evidence doesn't point to her being overly publicity-hungry.

I've not heard anything about these twitter duals with Joey Barton either. I bet they're interesting!

Yeah, imagine 2 kids in the third form having an argy bargy at the back of the bike sheds. That kind of level. Apparently he called her "fame hungry". Can you believe that? How deluded? !wink!

ANd I haven't even mentioned her argy bargy on twitter with Lord Sugar.
