Happy Find and Replace Day for tedious fucking columnists everywhere

1 / 2

Good spot. @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social has a good section in their book about how shameless columnists are. This is a great example.

Absolutely shameless.

In all the years of Times subs I never read that bloke’s column.

The Times, June 25, 2026 - "Why I miss Glastonbury" by Robert Crampton. The man who is the original Phil Space.

Robert, I want my £350.

It's like Clarkson and his A Levels.

He doesn’t realise he doesn’t have to pay £350 not to go - a fairly basic fact a proper journalist would know

Crappedon. Let me guess: Torongraph?

Times. But close enough.

Really odd! I am also not going to Glastonbury Festival and am paying absolutely no money whatsoever to stay at home.

They should take him up on his offer and invoice him full price for every festival he doesn't attend but writes about.

"beta male" makes chiles look like hemmingway

I'm shocked that the "No People Cannot Enjoy Things I Don't Like" grift is still going.

Funsponge columnists.

I'd happily pay £2.80 not to read this hack's drivel

Aged about as well as the byline pic.

Had a tough couple of years by the look of things; still hasn't been able to grow a proper beard

Let’s start billing the twat.

Crampton did a deal with the devil. He will get good money for re-hashing old copy. But every time he does so, he will age 15 years.
