De mortuis nil nisi bobortwo
The jailbird Wilfred Death (claims it's "De'ath" but I used to know a woman called Mrs Onions who declared in middle life that her name was actual O'Nyeons and nobody believed that either) writes in the Daily Express to traduce Alan Coren. Calumniating one's superiors -- in wit, intellect and achievement -- the moment they're dead; that I can perhaps understand. But to write for the Express? Hard to believe that even Death would sink so low.
