To: The Telegraph Editor of 'scare quotes'
Re: 'scare quotes' in your headline

Dear Sir:

Reading recently your or some other you-name-it European cool-to-Israel medium headline, such as, Mass stabbing on Tel Aviv bus by Palestinian 'terrorist' ‏I thought I might suggest some edits to incorporate your rancid anti-exactitude as well as benign anti-Semitism and more closely comport with your target demographic:

Generalized poking with a sharp, steely object against unworthy-to-live though innocent victims on a [nameless city because we dislike Israel so much it hurts to mention a major Israeli city, especially in our headline] moving public vehicle by a [splendid individual who happens to believe in the slaughter of innocent Jews, Christians, Hindus, Baha'i, Zoroastrians, tourists and random others as well as muslim [sic] cults other than from his own blood tribal and feudal sort - but no judgment, okay?] male person who lives on disputed land claimed belatedly by people who came late to a tiny plot of sandy earth inhabited millennia earlier and currently by [namelessly guilty and probably disreputable Jews chased out of virtually every country because it's just so much fun to hate those guys, right, especially if one is British, paranoid anti-Zionist and overall a genial bigot] and held a not-articulated but worthy beef against these interloper types who happened to get in front of his steely object, repeatedly - but is not a bad person, everyone in these editorial offices would be bound to admit, with a rueful and righteous grin.
That way, you could avoid the blasphemous and obscene scare quotes you vilely included in your headline around the consummately apt term terrorist.

Cheers.
Your faithful correspondent

How many beets did Comrade Red Square give you to join the Collective from the American?

Dear Editor,There are often times when I have nothing to add to a brilliant blog entry, but am so overcome with admiration, that I instinctively look for a "like" button. Have I become just another one of "those" who has spent too much time on social media and comment sections below news articles, or should there be some sort of "hear hear" or "amen" button for great blog entries like this one?

Yes, brilliant entry and award you with the Order of the Golden Samovar

Or Comrade Punk can wait for the People's Plot to be finished. It will be done for Next Tuesday.
