Right-wing scum try to set neighbours on Billy Bragg

The tiny, tiny brains of the absurd right-wing, forever spinning in mostly empty skull cases looking for someone to blame for imagined slights, have started to point at Billy Bragg. One of them has apparently learned how to write, and started sending hate letters to Bragg's neigbours:

The mail urges them to drive Bragg out of the village, where he owns a £1.5million mansion.

It claims “Billy Bighead Bragg” has “shunned the poor embattled English he was raised amongst to bask in celebrity style.”
You've got to love the idea of someone writing to a person's neighbours to criticise the sort of people that Bragg has chosen to live amongst - "dear rich snobs, please evict Billy Bragg from amongst the rich snobs he's living amongst."

Still, the green inker has a point - how can Bragg have shunned the people of England to live in Dorset, eh? That's virtually France, that is.

Robbie Williams is not even that famous here anymore

The Sunday Mirror is suggesting this morning that - oh, joy - Robbie Williams might be trotting back to Britain. But the real gem at the heart of the story is this:

"Contrary to what most people think, the one thing Robbie craves is a quiet life. During his stay in Swanage he and Jonathan played tennis on a local court and were virtually ignored. Rob was stunned at how little attention they got from locals.

"He is desperate to find somewhere where he will be left alone - and was asking Jona than loads of questions about the area. He sounded very impressed."

Yes, Robbie - the number of places around the country where you will be left alone, untouched, unnoticed, is growing by the hour. And don't worry too much, a delayed swing album isn't going to do much to raise your profile.

Did anyone else hear the words "and a little disappointed" after that "stunned", by the way?
