It seems that you can't offend a group of people who are not defined as anything in particular, or at least that's what IPSO have decreed in the case of Katy Hopkins comparing migrants with cockroaches. If the migrants were e.g. Syrians than she would have been in hot water, so as long as you generalise you'll be OK. I guess I'm OK if I call a publicity seeking nobody a publicity seeking nobody.
Meanwhile, in other media news, the '24 - The Northern Daily' (or similar) will stop being printed tomorrow. It hasn't done too well, lasting 5 weeks as it lined the bottom of bird cages and cat litter trays. One of my Facebook acquaintances (I refrain from using the word friend) posted an update where they had to resort to a sock when they realised that toilet paper had run out. This is a direct consequence of the drastic reduction in printer reading matter over the last few years.
