Default LittleJohn's Britain

For those of you who are not in the UK, "LittleJohn" is a tabloid journalist from the "Englands going to hell in a hand-cart" / "Send em all back" far-right DailyMail camp.
Despite being widely read in the UK, his writings often inspire utter loathing.

This loathing has inspired a fantastically funny outburst of sarcasm in the Amazon Reviews!
Well worth reading a few pages of the reviews! :rotfl::rotfl:Although things slacken off a little on the last page.

Quote:
The American academic Harold Bloom writes in 'The Anxiety of Influence' of authors continually struggling to break free of the influence of their literary predecessors; a struggle that can never really be won (in the sense that all writing is ultimately derivative). Richard Littlejohn has effortlessly freed himself from the burden of the literary tradition, contributing to the world of words a work of such startling originality and insight that if influence can be traced back to the titan that is Shakespeare, who in turn is the literary 'father' of Keats, who then begat Wilfred Owen, it seems proper to view Littlejohn as starting an entirely new, and better, family.
