Griffin

Hilarious story from today.
An aged, a very right-wing features writer wrote an opinion piece on Nick Griffin, of BNP-fame.
She wanted to call Mr Griffin odious followings his victory in a recent high profile court case.
Unfortunately she got his name confused with a fellow reporter in the newsroom who's name is similar to the British National Party leader's
A reader spotted her blunder and wrote this letter.

After browsing through the menopausle rantings of, 'top journalist', Jane xxxxxx article, 'Its time to get tough on loathsome rabbles', I was amazed to learn that one of your very own reporters is the leader of the BNP. "The odious Nick Griffxxx and his BNP" she fumes!(I can only presume she means Nick Griffin) Is this the same Nick Griffxxx who has the centre page spread 'Supercop on the beat' in the same edition? Before the queen of the coffee mornings is allowed to submit future articles in your paper, I strongly suggest that she is given a rundown of who is who before she starts spluttering on about events & people of which she obviously has little or no knowledge. Keep up the good work Jane, & mine's two sugars please!

Caused much hilarity.
