Personally, though, I found the mob to be both remarkably attractive, and decidedly unled, despite what Jorge may think. Yours Minifig Malcolm,

Can I warmly congratulate you on being the first recorded leader of an 'ugly Twitter mob'. Personally, though, I found the mob to be both remarkably attractive, and decidedly unled, despite what Jorge may think.

Ya think?... really? But that would give the lie to your self-serving headline, and poor Jan is just getting gang-banged by an ugly Twitter-mob... apparently led, in part at least, by you. Uhh, self-generated news? You have the nerve to attempt to take the high ground over the gutter press but you've already been washed down into the sewer.

Her comments were spiteful, speculative, and unnecessary. To slate Gately in this way when he was hardly cold, is just beyond acceptable. I remember the press' "horror" when he came out, yet, that was the worst the gutter-press could find to throw at this unassuming and quiet young man:- That he was (sharp intake of breath, here) GAY!!
