To be fair, though, it does contain the sentence "It’s my impression that nothing less than the imposition of Taliban-style governments worldwide will ever satisfy them" – referring to liberal critics of the government, note, not Islamists – which is ludicrous, argument-losing hyperbole worthy of Eric the blogger.

If it’s not the same one, perhaps they ought to meet up.

Andrew — It could have been sub-edited. But I still doubt it, it’s not angry enough and he doesn’t mention Dsquared

Altogether now…"My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all the morning rain clouds up my window and I can’t see at all. And even if I could it’d all be grey, but your picture on my wall it reminds me that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad"

Totally off-topic, but doesn’t anyone else think the Eric Thomas of West Sussex is Eric the Unread? Well, I would, but the Eric writing the letter to the Guardian spells fellow-travellors[sic] correctly.
