plasticbag : Vile Telegraph logo that rips into the people who came up with the Olympics logo... - Apparently the media are camped out around the houses of people who did the work. And can I just say that £400,000 is a reasonable cost for a medium sized team of people for a year doing skilled work.

plasticbag : The Telegraph and Sun misrepresent fairly neutral or positive stats about the acceptance of gay people in the Royal Navy and Royal Marines - It just goes to show that you can use statistics to prove anything - even, er, even things that, you know, the statistics very definitely don't, er, prove... And, er, you know, if you're a right-wing national UK newspaper...
