Like Sally I hate Twitter too, mainly because I am a wordy so-and-so and I can't stand brief, scattergun ideas devoid of any true meaning. Actually, that's also why I hate Sally's columns. Nice post.

She's so bad at her job that she makes that other vacuous, bland and 'I-can-only-state-the-obvious' HS columnist, Robin Riley, actually look like a journalist.

I'm still trying to work out what the fuck she's on about. Is she suggesting that once they stop relying on the public purse, they should go and get a "real" job? Aren't people who work in the public service "relying" on the public purse too? I can't understand this stupid woman!!! What “certain age” did she have in mind, John?

She used film funding as an example, but, not surprisingly, ignored Andrew's beloved opera which dreams of audiences in the double figures, yet sucks millions of dollars from the government.
