Ooooh! Handbags at 10 paces!!!
After that I had to have a read, and I have to say that they article makes a few valid points, a few invalid points and the buries the whole lot in great heap of similies, metaphors and sarcasm, disguised as wit. And yes, whenever "quality" journos write what is essentially a "tabloid" article they add all the extra polyfilla and pseudo-intellectual phrases to make it look better than it really is.
It pains me to say it, but I'm sure the Sun could have got all those points across in about four sentences!
