Book of the Week?

I see Jordan?s latest ghost written masterpiece is still top of the book charts this week.
So, just who is buying this weighty tome? Who are the culture vultures that are keeping this masterpiece of literary creativity and navel gazing at number one in the charts? I haven?t bought it. None of my mates have bought it. So who could it be?
Private Eye isn?t impressed. I quote- 'Jordan may well go down in history as the first 'author' to have 'written' more books than she's actually read.'

As a thoroughbred capitalist of the proletariat, I'd have thought you would have been all for a working class lass earning herself a few bob?

Nothing wrong with working folks getting ahead (is there?) - but one must weigh that up against the cultural damage Miss Price's literary endeavors might be doing to the nation's charva (OMG!)

Well, you have a dilemma, Officer.
Stick up for a working class girl that's earned a crust with the limited talent she has, in a capitalist society (she's only supplying demand), or deny working class people any credit because their prose doesn't live up to your standards.
It'll not be something I'll rush out and buy, but I say 'good on her!'

"or deny working class people any credit because their prose doesn't live up to your standards."
You haven't been keeping up, Sam. Our derision is largely due to the fact that Katie Price does not write her own books. They are ghost written.

"Our derision"
Have you become plural, Dibbs? Royal we?
