I think it might be ironic?

Well... not really. The award was given by GQ Magazine. Have you ever read GQ Magazine? Its a publication specifically targeted at egotistical, preening, self-absorbed, sociopathic bell ends!

So actually its perfectly appropriate

Blair was praised by the editor of the magazine, Dylan Jones

A man even more punchable than Piers Morgan. A pompous, self-important, prancing cockwomble of the highest order. I can't think of anyone who's opinion I respect less. He also writes columns for the Daily Mail

No, never read GQ. If I ever do it will be because I've been sectioned and sent to Broadmoor.

So actually its perfectly appropriate...Dylan Jones etc

"Jones wrote of his support for the Conservative Party in an article in 2008, a political choice he claims caused his friends to treat him "like a man who had just admitted he not only enjoyed the music of Phil Collins, but also kept bound volumes of illegal pornography in his attic."

LOL. :mrgreen:

Be interesting to see if this is GQ's Ratner Moment...

One of the best things about social media is how much harder it is for media owners and power mongers to own the narrative... and so much easier for them to be ridiculed when they make blatant errors of judgement...

i.e. you're kidding 😯

This will really sex up your mantlepiece! Can be delivered in as little as 45 minutes!![/i]

Is it any more bizarre than Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize scant weeks after taking power?

Thery've not asked him to return it yet...

As for GQ, it's just a waste of trees.

Well I think that being morally bankrupt is a good characteristic in these dangerous times, especially when disguised with a thin veneer of religious piety.

The only problem is I haven't yet decided which party to present myself to for a glorious landslide in a safe seat. Do I go labour in a blue tie or torie in a red tie (I am of course predicting that libdem in a purple tie will be the wrong kind of landslide and even Jenny Agutter waving her knickers in the air on a flagpole wouldn't prevent that train crash).

He used to do a column for the MoS supplement. Guess who replaced him...
I'll give you a clue, his initials are PM...

Well personally, I'm outraged that he overshadowed Kim Kardashian's Woman of the Year award. Bloody raging I am.

GQ event blokio was on the radio this morning basically saying they only pick big name winners who will stoke interest/controversy and or make the whole event very A-list. S'all about the attention which fundamentally supports the statement made by a previous correspondent that "Its a publication specifically targeted at egotistical, preening, self-absorbed, sociopathic bell ends!"

Regrettably in this instance they got the attention otherwise none of us would've known anything about it.

Who live in London. I flicked through one in the barbers and every place (restaurant, shop etc etc) mentioned was in the smoke. Glad I don't buy that completely shite mag.
