Alastair Campbell reporting that Cunty McCuntface has pulled out of the Ofcom carve-up.

I genuinely cannot think of someone more unsuitable: Ofcom isn't just about TV - people forget that.

Maybe he'll become Lord Dacre of Arnos Grove instead.

It's about time we had those rotten lefties being bawled out and called cunts on a Sunday morning. I am all for this. I would happily go on while he is still trying to get his eye in.

Meanwhile, what's this I spotted on his Wiki entry?
