Back at the start of Summer,
I posted about Alexei Sayle becoming a motoring correspondent with The Daily Telegraph.
I think I don't particularly like his motoring writing -
his latest piece, on the Paris Motor Show, is quite short and quite vague. It does, however, really wind up a small number of Telegraph readers who like to vent their spleen in the comments section. This amuses me very much and I enjoy their annoyance. I have made the point myself in the past that the better motoring columns tend to be found in the more obnoxious right-wing media - Fox News, The Telegraph and The Mail. But, then again, I hadn't really looked in the left-wing media. So I took a look in
The Mirror. I did find two of my favourite correspondents, Richard Hammond & Quentin Willson. But overall, it is quite a disappointing site and very rarely updated - it's had the same couple of stories including one about an electric car called "The Lightning" on its header for at least three weeks now - and some very intrusive advertising. Socialist Worker doesn't appear to have a motoring section. I think they should.
Now, who on Earth could they possibly get to be their star guest motoring correspondent?
