This is purely curiosity.
I didn't think this belonged in TVF because the people who are in the know are over here and it has nothing to do with TV presentation.

I never really get a chance to read the papers, i skim through all the papers at work, yes even the Sun - for Bizarre i'll have you know, ok!
It just dawned on me today, what with it being a Tuesday, that i have not seen Littlejohns mug in there for a while. Also what with his absence from Sky. He has gone a bit quiet, if that is possible.
Where has he gone?

Straight to hell, where he belongs, with a bit of luck

You couldn't make it up....

at least he's back where he belongs!

from the bits and pieces i've read, he's not really that controversial and his writing isn't even done with the wit of barry beezlebub.

erm ... have .. you been stalking me?!

At lunchtime whilst thumbing through the usual tripe in The Sun today I rhetorically asked "whatever happened to Richard Littlejohn" ... hadn't realised the MetroMic was switched on!!
Weird!!! Your lunch wasn't about 1ish was it?!

I'll not forget that confrontation he had with that arrogant uni student about his column and something to do with racism. Instead of answering the arguments in hand he just resorted to calling the student a "silly boy". Granted he'd been a prick but just exposed Littlejohn as a racist.

Monkey in MediaGuardian reports...
Richard Littlejohn wasted no time getting down to business in his new Daily Mail column today: "I like a good health story as much as the next hypochondriac, but the idea that a bird flu epidemic is heading for Britain is about as credible as Tony Blair's 45-minutes-from-Armageddon warning in the dodgy Iraq dossier." You don't need Monkey to tell you what his new employer, the Daily Scaremonger, splashed on this morning, do you? "Bird flu: Is Turkey safe for holidays?" with an inside sidebar claiming: "The steady march of bird flu towards Europe has raised concerns that Britain is wide open to infection by the deadly virus."
Speaking of the Daily Mail, I also like this story...
The Daily Mail loves a good book serialisation, and was especially keen on buying up bestselling Christmas stocking filler, Is It Me or is Everything Shit?. A diatribe against all that rankles about modern life - Ikea, Kate Moss, Tony Blair etc - it must have sounded like classic Mail material, only for the paper to pull out at the 11th hour. Could it have anything to do with the four pages which authors Steve Lowe and Alan McArthur dedicate to an excoriating critique of the Associated paper, summed up by one critic as an "under one-roof demolition of the Mail's overt support for fascism in the 1930s"? Hint: if you want to serialise a book, make sure you read it first.
