My Arch-nemesis
I lived in fear of a Darth Vader-esque school dinner lady who stood me perpetually at the naughty table for refusing to eat mushy peas. An ordeal made worse after I was caught spooning the accursed veg into her wellies. Who, we ask, has wrecked your life?
Thanks to Philly G for the suggestion

I agree with you completely...
But...
Opinion columns in papers are supposed to be written by people with no real knowledge of subjects, otherwise they would be articles.
The only difference between him, and the average, half-cut chap in the pub, is that he has a national paper to vent his rantings to, not just some losers in the pub. And he is loaded. And he has a cool job.

I realise it's an opinion, and a highly ill-informed one at that
Melanie Philips, on the other hand, clearly doesn't. She has actually fabricated "facts" and exaggerated or falsified various claims in the past to back up whatever point she's rambling about.
The worst part is, people read these columns and believe what they're being told. These columns either need a disclaimer to point out that they are little more than an uninformed ad hoc "reckon" or some sort of quality control on the shit they're allowed to spout.
