This is a question Inflated Self-Importance

Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

"Sir" Bob Geldof for Live Aid
QOTW over, second comes Piers Morgan.

*Edit* Jeremy Clarkson, an even bigger sack of shit.

Oh bollocks.

I thought I'd won with Bono.

Nope
"Sir" Bob's sanctimony goes back further in time than the be-sunglassed twat fellow "Oirishman", maybe next week.

Fair do's.

But Geldof probably made a rod for his own back for the best of reasons. It doesn't stop him from being a twat but at least he had a go.

Bono and Moron are just cunts.

But...
Cunts have a purpose, Bono and Morgan are not even good enough for use in Soylent Green.

Yeah.
Fancy having a bit of passion in the face of a human tragedy and turning that passion into millions of pounds and a huge amount of public awareness. And then adopting his ex-wife's child so that she could be raised with her half-siblings. And then quietly getting back to his life. What a pompous prick.

I've met one of those people and he was incredibly humble and easy to work with
Even when stopped by a security guard on the way into the event he was presenting - the ultimate opportunity for a "Don't you know who I am?" - he apologised and started rummaging in his pockets for his pass. Down to Earth and a thoroughly likeable chap.

Stephen Fry's Uxbridge English Dictionary entry sums up my feelings about Piers Morgan.
'Countryside - the murder of Piers Morgan'

And of course Julie Burchill nailed Stephen Fry perfectly
as "a stupid person's idea of a what a clever person is like."

Thing is, Stephen Fry genuinely is quite witty and erudite (just watch some of his live debates), whereas Julie Burchill is a shouty, underqualified hack.
