The fact that, despite your inaccurate assertions, I didn't mention envy last time, Jim, doesn't mean that I can't mention it on this thread if I want to, does it? Not too sure what you on about there. It just seems to me that a fair bit of that unworthy emotion does seem to me as rearing its head in this thread.
The point also needs making again, as always on this thread which we are repeating for the umpteenth time, that papers print what their readers want to read, or they wouldn't sell any copies. If you don't want to read those bits, you can just turn the page over -- just as I do when I get to the racing page, coz I don't happen to be interested in racing. But the page wouldn't be there if there weren't a lot of readers who do want it. So turn over the royalty pages if you don't like them, and just leave them to the readers who do. I just love [let's say it again] the way all you self-proclaimed 'democrats' spend so much time & energy denouncing what so many of the δεμος actually want.
