Naughty
NAOMI Campbell is to be honoured at upcoming New York Fashion Week, celebrating her “storied” career. Wonder if the clothes horse’s “story” will recall the times she “telephoned” her assistants, on the head, and will it mention the head of Elite model agency’s description of her as being “Manipulative, rude, scheming and impossible”?
SIR David Jason reckons his Del Boy character would have backed Brexit, as “a nice little earner.” Wonder what Only Fools and Horses creator John Sullivan would have said about an actor determining what his character was likely to say?
NICE
BET Winston Churchill would grin at the realisation his grandson Sir Nicholas Soames has such a nice turn of phrase. After Nigel Farage Tweeted news of his Brexit tour of the Antipodes, Sir Nicholas Tweeted back “Nuclear powered, chateau-bottled t***. By the way, no need to come back.”
JAMIE Oliver has always been candid, but until now has never revealed he was once hated by men. “I got chased and punched a few times, I had loads of abuse,” he recalls. The reason? When men came home from work and said to their partners “What’s for dinner, women would point to the telly and say “If that 23 year-old can cook for his family so can you.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
