If you’d like your day to be lightened up with a giggle or two, check out Rhetorically Speaking, where you can read Bookdrunk’s ticklish deconstruction of Melanie Phillips’s tirades in the Daily Mail against watering cans and Alan Johnson, the UK’s latest Education Secretary lambaster of marriage, parenthood, childhood, romance, responsibility, freedom, Christianity, morality, common sense, and - what an outrage! - ‘frilly pinnies’.

The Daily Mail claims 5.5m readers per day.
