Sometimes Axegrinder mourns the passing of Oscar Wilde when in need of his wit and guidance.
Yesterday, for example, there was a Twitter spat between Jeremy Clarkson and Piers Morgan over which of them is the most objectionable person in British public life.
Presumably, if dear Oscar was not currently residing in a Paris cemetery he would have a bon mot along the lines of “the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible”.
What a monumental twat this man is. I cannot wait for the day he goes to prison. pic.twitter.com/d3mU6j0mdK

Morgan responded with the equally juvenile taunt:
I'd like to apologise to @JeremyClarkson – my mother always told me never to pick on little girls > pic.twitter.com/5A0uzJGDDM
