The man about to make the fourth estate fifth rate

Columnist and ‘self-styled iconoclast’ Rod Liddle, who has been earmarked as incoming editor at the Independent, has been speaking to the Jewish Chronicle in defence of his on-line rant to the Millwall FC fan forum that he was not allowed to smoke during a visit to Auschwitz.

In a later interview with the Guardian, he stated: "All of these things [comments] are twisted out of context to make me look like a c++t. I may be a c++t but I'm not a racist c++t."

Well that’s reassuring.
