Remember the Daily Mail stoking up the fire of complaints and controversy surrounding the whole Russell Brand/Jonathan Ross/Andrew Sachs affair? Well, the "Wail" doesn't like it quite so much when the shoe is on the other foot, does it?
I was going to add my vitriol to the torrent that is currently swamping the Mail, and its columnist, Jan Moir, but I won't.

So to make sure you know what has triggered all this, read the original article... albeit with a sanitised, less offensive headline.
