Donald Trump has banned several newspapers from his presidential campaign. Our own dear Hugo – after copying him with Twitter spats with other MPs see earlier posts – has now copied him again, this time severing all ties with the well-respected local Express and Echo newspaper – again announcing it on Twitter on 5 August:

(“Severing all ties with Express and Echo newspaper due to consistently biased and inaccurate reporting. Enough is enough”)

It seems that he is highly sensitive to criticism these days (again like Trump) and is dealing only with those newspapers which give him favourable column inches.

It cannot be too long before we hear in one of those rare visits to a Sidmouth shop (almost certainly Waitrose) those (in)famous words “Do you know who I am?”

Yes, indeed we do, indeed we do.
