AS WITH VIRGINIA WOOLF ON ULYSSES ('THE BOOK OF A SELF-TAUGHT WORKING MAN') I DON'T THINK FORGIVENESS IS POSSIBLE IN THIS INSTANCE

-
I know many people have already pointed out the outrageousness of Ms Lily Allen's recent comments as regards class, but I shall rehearse them one more time for good measure.

Responding to what are in my view entirely justified recent attacks on her mockney accent in the masterly musical satire that is 'LDN Is A Victim' (see article below), Allen states:

'So what if we're middle class? Just 'cos your mum was too lazy to get her fat ass up off the sofa and make some cash. I shouldn't be able to make tunes, yeah?'

.....
JESUS

FUCKING

CHRIST
.....

Sometimes a person will make a comment so spectacularly reprehensible on every conceivable level, that you begin to wonder whether anything they ever say or do can make amends.
