Plagiarsim is alive and well

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, etc:

Help me out here.

On 5th March 2006, I wrote a piece on this blog entitled "God Resigns in new Blair Iraq Row".

On 8th March 2006, Terry Jones, former Monty Python, wrote a piece in the Guardian entitled "God: I've lost faith in Blair".

Now, I leave it for you to judge whether Mr Jones owes me at least 0.1% of his fee.

If you're with me on this one, you can make your opinions known by writing to politics.editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk, and perhaps Cc it to reader@guardian.co.uk and terryjoneswebsite@yahoo.co.uk

Thank you for your support.

Edward

  1. To get the ball rolling, here is the letter I have fired off to politics.editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk, reader@guardian.co.uk, and terryjoneswebsite@yahoo.co.uk

    Dear Sirs,

    Much though I respect Mr Jones and all that he stands for, I would like to point out that on 5th March 2006, I wrote and published a piece on the 2wheels blog entitled "God Resigns in new Blair Iraq Row". (www.2wheels.org.uk/blog/2006/03/god-resigns-in-new-blair-iraq-row.asp)

    This morning, I log on to the Guardian and find that Terry Jones, may he live forever, has written a piece called " God: I've lost faith in Blair".

    Such blatant plagiarism I have not seen since I handed in my History GCSE coursework

    I leave it for you to judge whether Mr Jones owes me at least 0.1% of his fee.

    Yours in outrage and horror that a Python would stoop so low,

    Send your letter, expressing your outrage, disgust, or the fact that you couldn't care less, to politics.editor@guardianunlimited.co.uk, reader@guardian.co.uk, and terryjoneswebsite@yahoo.co.uk - and why not copy it here on the 2wheels blog, too, for the entertainment of the masses.

    Peace.
