Paper Monitor

11:20 UK time, Tuesday, 13 December 2011

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

The Ghost of Christmas Past is hovering over the Daily Star this morning. The "miserable" Mancunian, Liam Gallagher , we learn.

The article is headlined: "Liam's Ranter Clause!" Apparently, the musician launched a "foul mouthed attack on Christmas" after being asked by a fan in a hotel bar in Los Angeles what he had planned for "the holidays".

The paper's opinion page features a cartoon with Gallagher depicted as Scrooge shouting "bah humbug" to a crowd of cheeky carol singers, who reply "calm down Liam - keep your eyebrows on!". A short item in the comment section reads:

"If he's talking about fighting with relatives, drinking too much and singing songs loudly then he's probably right!"

The comment goes under the headline: "On Repeat." Indeed. Now let's rewind to last Christmas. "All Liam Gallagher wants for Christmas is 'peace and quiet... man' was a headline in the Manchester Evening News. "Liam Gallagher plans Christmas stuffing" - a story about him eating, drinking and generally not much else, peppered with a few expletives was in the Evening Standard.

We conclude that Christmas Past was not a joyful occasion in the Gallagher household. But, you know what Liam mate, don't look back in anger.
