Littlejohn is scum. If he said the sky was blue I'd have to go outside to check. |

Guinevere we are all entitled to our opinions and I think that the piece above was well written, as many of his are. I will go and read what you have put up. |

I do think calling him *scum* is a bit strong to be honest. |

I would doubt that Littlejohn alone caused the death and whilst I disagree with any anti transgender comments, we all have to agree that they need to be stronger than us because of the comments they are going to get. |

I am not a Daily Mail reader, so therefore am not familiar with any of Mr Littlejohn's previous writings or opinions. |

'It is apparently an accepted reality that, when you say or do something that knocks a person’s self-esteem, it takes twenty positive actions to get them back to the level you toppled them from'. |

After the suicide of that poor woman, the coroner said Littlejohn 'sought to ridicule and humiliate' her. |

Interesting Dermot I didn´t know that, I always believed if somebody knocked me down I should get straight back up. |

It's interesting..... no not the article, been there, seen it before, nothing new in what he has written ( and I am no kinder to him than Guinevere and yes I have read his articles in the past) but this opinion that " Free speech is being eroded in the name of ‘celebrating diversity’ |

I don't read the Mail as it makes me spit feathers, but a little googling will highlight some of his previous 'churnalism' and the fact that the Mail has had to apologise for him on more than one occasion... |

I'm not keen on Littlejohn, but I wouldn't call him 'scum' because it's not a word I ever use, except when I'm cleaning my bath after being on the allotment all day and muttering with irritation to myself. |

In the days when words we no longer use, and when you routinely called the black dog or cat you devoted your life to by that name that begins with an N and that you may no longer use with any sense of decency, prejudices were aired publicly and everybody knew where they stood. |

I thought the article in the Op was, as Tecwyn said: Well written - thought provoking - the truth. |

Not all journalists lie, so not all are scum. Only those who lie, like Littlejohn. |
