    I'd have had a pop at it wherever it appeared, tbh

    Even if it's 100% true, it's wildly unnecessary and reeks of axe-grinding.

    I would class you as a hatchet job lover b so why the chagrin about this one? Did you like Hughes or is it your odium toward the Gruaniad?

    However you class me, I'm not, so your premise is flawed.

    I don't believe that, in the the week someone dies, it is appropriate to publish a piece that smears a man who can't answer back with snidey hints and unsubstantiated allegations about his character. Why would you do it? It's not like he was Jimmy Savile, ffs! He was a man who clearly had a variety of human flaws - like most of us. Why would you decide to publish a piece rubbishing the man in the press the week he dies?

    Absolutely - I apologise for my initial reaction. It's rank poor journalism - and regardless of your views on Hughes (who from what I know was actually a highly regarded and liked figure even in the bitchy world of comics) as you say totally unecessary

    Oddly no comments allowed. Despicable **** deserves some **** for this alone

    "I shall go to his funeral on Monday, and I will still be asking myself: who was my old friend? And why did his life turn out this way?"

    Would I be wrong in thinking that most peoples' lives end up with a funeral?
