Toothless Miliband Urges Replacement of Toothless Press Complaints Commission With New Toothless Press Complaints Committee

Leadership indeed

The toothless leader of the toothless Labour Party, Ed Miliband, today issued a toothless call for the toothless, self-serving Press Complaints Commission to be axed in the wake of the dramatic closure of the News Of The World, and urged Britain’s newspapers to set up a new and equally toothless Press Complaints Committee in its place.

“Blah blah blah,” droned his toothless hole, as he toothlessly pointed out that self-regulation was a toothless safeguard against media excesses, only to suggest self-regulation as a particularly toothless solution.

He went on, toothlessly, to add that David Cameron had made a bit of an error of judgement in employing former NotW editor Andy Coulson as his director of communications, and toothlessly called for an apology from the prime minister.

Observers noted that Mr Miliband appeared desperate to avoid even the most toothless reference to Rupert Murdoch or his son James, both of whom are thought to have very active teeth.
