    Daily Telegraph Australia is owned by him (which is the one he is talking about). I don't know about the UK one.

    Not to say i'm defending his lack of humanity on the subject but you could read that as a back handed criticism of the rest of Australia's press rather than straight praise of his own. I don't read enough of his posts to know whether he leans towards praise or criticism.

    He doesn't give a crap apart from the hits and cash. A lot of his posts are like this.

    not saying he does. just that self praise is possibly more repugnant than criticism at an inappropriate time.

    Wonder why it has taken me so long to realise that Eamonn Holmes is a bumptious git.

    He obviously feels that if he'd been in Sydney he'd have taken the gunman out with a single head shot and all this nonsense could have been avoided. My television would have been at risk if I hadn't been wearing slippers.

    Obviously in a grump this morning...have now moved my ire to the woman on the sofa next to Eamonn. She is so lightweight she must need an anchor to stop her floating away. So far she has been amazed that Customs can open your suitcase, wonders why anyone googles 'how to draw' because as she says you can't be taught...you can either draw or not!!!, and the gunman was thought to have an explosion on his back.

    I think I need to go back to Sky Sports.

    I've always thought he was full of himself since he's been on Sky. Prefer the other guy who's usually on Steven someone. I was also amazed that they didn't know airport security can go through your suitcase- where have they been? I understand the other ladies fear of her knickers going around on the conveyor belt :emoticon-0111-blush

    This story emerging from Pakistan is absolutely horrific.

    Taliban showing what cowards they are, disgusting attacking a school.6 armed men with suicide vest stormed into a school of around 500 teachers and children. 126 now feared dead which includes up to 100 children, some people are just sick. Most of the others escaped but Pakistan army believe there could be some still being held hostage.

    RIP the poor people killed.

    Absolutely disgusted and appalled by the events in Pakistan. How the hell can a human do that to a child. These events make me more pro death penalty.

    But make sure it is a woman that kills them as they then believe they won't go to heaven. I'm sure a mother will oblige.

    Some fanatics think these people are martyrs, I don't think so, most religions would tell you, all you really have is another dead terrorist, the best kind.

    The trouble is that they don't believe in education (or thinking) other than study of the Qu'ran, and that being available to only 50% of the population. Hence why Malala was attacked too, so a school to them is a worthwhile target. It's.....well.....it's just indescribably barbaric on so many levels.

    It's very sad that a people who were once renowned for knowledge and education have turned their back on education. Not lumping them altogether, but how daft is it to bar one half of your population from schooling. I cannot even begin to imagine what it feels like to be intelligent and only permitted to read the Koran. I think I would go mad. And then they wonder why they are falling behind the rest of the world.

    Just this Fran. Exactly. It's terribly sad, and even sadder that sensible, moderate muslims get lumped in together with this nonsense too. It's the modern day fascism.

    ha, is that right? good idea

    though occurs that when we sent troops to the middle east we should have sent them in dresses and wigs. (not being sexist, just to camouflage the male contingent and make it more obvious)
