This blog is dedicated to the dribble-spattered lunacy of BBC “Have Your Say” discussions. Part of me thinks that the right-wing “blogosphere” of America is encouraging its slow readers to get over to the BBC and add their ill-informed opinions… but another part of me fears that the sample is actually more representative… perhaps the majority of people in the world really are this awful and stupid.
This is possibly a better description though, from an avid reader: “I just love the way you’ve appointed yourselves as the moral arbiters of what is posted on HYS, as if you have something significant to contribute. That and your self-satisfied sanctimonious attitude…“. Bang on, bitch.
If you have any feedback or suggestions for inclusion, please contact me.
As a long-time observer of the “have your say” car crash, I have to thank you. By filtering out and re-publishing only the choicest rantings you’re providing a great service.
Good work here. Highly enjoyable.
It is to laugh. It is also to cry. Keep it up.
I think you’ve just cured my hangover…
So glad someone has done this, so disappointed it wasn’t me. Hilarious!
Would you mind awfully teaming up with Charlie Brooker and some nice shiny guns? We need a stupidity massacre. I think a good test would be asking the victim to spell ‘weird’, then spraying his fairly limited mental matter all over the surrounding area (one benefit of slaughtering the stupid is, of course, minimal spray-age on cull).
Obviously it might mean the end of your utterly hilarious, yet also hideously depressing website, but it’d be a small price to pay. I’ll volunteer to follow you with a mop, some Cillit Bang and bin liner. Oh, and can we start with John Reid?
It’s a dirty job. Thanks for doing it.
Scary, but fookin’ ACE.
Splendid site sir
Ignorant cunts the lot of them. Well done.
Public service. You should be getting some of the licence fee.
I regularly read HYS to ’spot the nutter’ - which I realise is pretty sad. I’m so glad someone has made it all so much easier
Thankyou
Page bookmarked.
Top stuff!
Spent bloody ages going through this site for the “best” bits to send. Came to the conclusion it’s all solid gold: http://www.reallyworried.com/
You can bet not one of ‘em has left the house in days.
re: http://www.reallyworried.com
Hello. I’m really worried Mel. I don’t get what you are saying about the site. Please explain.
Fucking brill site. It’s an ideal work site, filling the gap that’s been left since grouphug.us was banned about a year ago at work. Well done sir!
After getting sacked from her job, being locked up and threatened with all things horrible, the woman says, “Don’t be put off visiting the Sudan, it’s lovely”. The poor old dear is obviously into M&S (NOT THE STORE) and probably wished she had been lashed. Sick, sick, very sick!
Excellent stuff!
This site makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time, and you know what? I quite like it.
I salute you, Lord Nelson, for your utter genius.
you are my perez hilton.
The UK average reading age is 12.
The HTS average thinking age is 7.
(obviously HTS = have Their say.)
Everyone on HYS needs a good kicking, especially the moderators who allow such a load of shite to go through unhindered.
The worst/best thing is, I’m fairly sure one of The Regular Twats is related to me.
great stuff. a shining light of clarity in amidst a thick fog of idiocy.
I’ve just read your entire website and my mind has caught on fire.
Loving your work.
newssniffer.co.uk is even more worrying. It keeps a record of every HYS comment that’s been removed, and it’s even worse than HYS (if that’s possible).
For example: http://www.newssniffer.co.uk/bbc/threads/show/8173
Haven’t laughed this hard for ages - loving it, keep it up!
We are told that it is cruel to mock the afflicted. What we are not told is that it is also funny. This is no doubt down to the BBC’s army of islamo-fascist communist mind-controlling, erm, people.
You should try and have a look at Comment is Free on the Guardian website. Ernest liberal discussions interspersed with knee-jerk, reactionary redneckism for some of our friends from across the pond.
Great blog btw. I used to comment on it until I realised all comments could be googled!
^^ Comment on the BBC of course not here! ^^
This is brilliant!
Very entertaining indeedy!
Thankyou for this useful service. While the comments make you feel embarrassed despair at … well… everything, your insults and notes are perfect and hilarious.
We have a game in our office - how many comments will go past on HYS each day before immigrants, gays, single/working mothers or liberals are blamed (or even liberalgaysingleworkingimmigrantmothers)?
It’s never very many…
Top site, sterling work, keep it up.
[Sadly I think a lot of the people you highlight have recently taken to emailing/phoning the Victoria Derbyshire show on Radio 5 Live thereby spoiling what used to be a fairly interesting/informative station.
Every other caller/texter on there bangs on about immigrants, gays, single/working mothers or liberals and how they are to blame for the imminent collapse of society]
*sighs*
Keep up the good work! No doubt you will be highlighting some of the scary shit on HYS relating to the sharia law ‘debacle’ which I got really angry reading this morning.
A friend passed on this link as an antidote, and it’s great stuff!
It’s been more than a week since I read you comparing some poor chap’s writing to that of a ‘diabolical machine’ and it still makes me burst out laughing at entirely inappropriate times.
I think I love you.
I saw your link reading another blog last night, and spent the next 2 hours pissing myself stupid.
I’ve now bookmarked this page, and look forward to more of the same.
Thank you.

I’m afraid I heard nothing here, but was obviously worried when I heard the BBC’s extensive coverage this morning. I am pleased to hear everyone is safe.
Well done to all the news reporters and their crews who headed right to the centre of the disaster area without any fear for their own safety to bring us such dramatic pictures.
This should silence all the people who moan about the BBC wasting licence payers’ money.

My friends and I used to (mentally) stamp each Letter to the Editor according to its particular brand of crackpottery:
Think Of The Children (won’t somebody do it?!);
Not In My Backyard (maybe in yours?);
Back In The Good Old Days (when people had *values*);
QED (local man solves global dilemma with common-sense idea that no one ever thought of before);
If It’s Good Enough For Me … (then it’s good enough for me to force on you).
Happening across it in the blogosphere (and with far more creative tags! Animal Fannies…) made me smile.
I’ve long been looking a site like this, a Mailwatch for HYS comments. And now I’ve found it, hurrah!
Now to group them with the DM comments.
THIS IS THE SEX
I’m utterly torn. I want to continue reading the crackpots singled out on here, but I just found the ’should they ban Xmas decorations’ thread on newssniffer. Solid gold. e.g.

This is Britain!!!
First and foremost, and if people come here and dont like it then go back to where they came from, pure and simple. For those minorities born here well good luck to you but remember this is a Christian country. If this offends then move out ( this will also solve the housing problem and cut greenhouse gases by not having so many foul smelling take aways).
Damn those brown faced people and their foul smelling take aways….
haha love the blog…it cracks me up!!
I’ve linked to this site on mine … xx
this blog is not funny and where are the bloody animal fannies you frauds?
go back to errr here.
Love this site! Keep up the good work. Thought I was the only one possed off with the insanely moronic and shallow-minded crap that gets posted on HYS!
“Possed” off and indeed pissed off too! I just passed a HYS spelling test
Excellent site - I came accross it after reading yet another “Lorna Pope” on HYS. Nice to see she has her own place on here. I will send you her latest.
I love this site. I only discovered it two days ago but I’ve spent more time since then reading the hilarious comments on here than working on my dissertation that’s due in in a week. If I fail I blame you all. I just wish I was witty enough to contribute my own insightful commentary.
Cheers for this site, it saves me actually having to read HYS any more. The madness all comes out here instead.
Thank you- you have restored my faith in humanity!
My own faith in humanity was destroyed. Thus is the universal total of faith conserved.
The average comment poster on HYS is 3.4 times MORE educated than the average comment poster on youtube. FACT!*
It would scare the bejesus of our me if it weren’t for the fact that I mostly survive by exploiting stupid people.
I say, let’s embrace the moronic masses. Profit from their weakness. Fuel their fear, their anger. Redirect their misfocused whatever in a misdirected unfocused way.
*guess
I salute you sir! Having to sift through the shite to extract the diamonds of moronic vox poppery so we can take the piss. Its a tough job but someone has to do it.
oh boy…
this is one of the funniest, most mirth-inducing websites I have ever seen. Proof if any was ever needed that reality is weirder AND funnier than fiction
Beautiful! I think you should expand into Amazon commentary, though - always a hotbed of morons. For instance, check out this -

Truly what the internet was invented\discovered in a damp cave for.
Ever since I started reading this site I’ve been discovering wonderful pockets of idiocy on the BBC website.
From a thread on suggestions for a cartoon about a referee:

Lovelly stuff, my new favourite website
this is great. the best part is my name isn’t even johan
If you think the BBC “Have Your Say” is bad, you haven’t seen the multiple mid-air Airbus 380 collision that is The Gloucestershire Echo “Have Your Say” here:
http://www.thisisgloucestershire.co.uk/haveyoursay
But yours is a top site - I had to stop reading as I’d woken the MD with my laughing.
Shameless plug: I write about idiocy in other forums on my blog:
http://rotwatch.blogspot.com/
I’ve just laughed so hard I think I’ve injured myself.
Thank you, thank you, thank you - for making me not be the only one who thinks everyone on HYS is a hate-filled loony.
Amazing. Funniest, scariest, most entertaining blog in the blogosphere. Good man/woman/animal…
a great site thankyou sir, more english entertainment
Bookmarked and kudos on its way
hi i’m master bates and it hurts me to tell you that.
an ANTI-whingey OAP rant post is top recommended today, couldn’t believe it.

You realise that this site exposes you as a Hypocrite and a Self-Appointed Censor don’t you? You claim to value free expression and variety of views but in fact you mock the intelligence and are downright offensive about anything that doesn’t meet your personal idiosyncratic values.
You (cont. P.94 Wankers’ Weekly)
I guess there was only so long I could get away with it. The dream is over, the empire in ashes. Sorry everyone.
Yeah. Shame about that. But he’s got you pretty good there. Time to pack it up. I can’t see how you’re going to wriggle out of … no! … wait!…
LOOK!…
He’s got shit for brains!
Phew! I thought we were in trouble for a minute there.
How ironic that you bollock up a perfectly simple sentence about your ‘intelligence’ being mocked
(I promise you, we aren’t mocking your intelligence. That would be impossible)
“How ironic that you bollock up a perfectly simple sentence about your ‘intelligence’ being mocked”
Yes that is ironic, but I find it more entertaining that ANYONE can be a wanker, regardless of their intelligence. Oliver Kamm is a good expample if you want to look for highbrow wankers. At the other end of the spectrum, Gary Bushell is (by his own claims at least) endowed with fantasic intelligence. But unfortunately everything he ever says or writes indicates that he’s just a cunt.
hi me again, theres 1 group you leave out on this site, and thats “ex-prats”..no pats.
they’re always “having their say” on HYS and its mind numbing to see immigrants bemoan immigrants, so lets see some ex-brat hate please.
Good call. Might add that one.
This is rather smashing stuff; you’ve kept me entertained all afternoon, when I should have been working. My policy to combat “crackpottery” on HYS has recently been to try to respond with an intelligent answer, even if my comment is rejected in preference to another rabid nutter.
But a collective shaming here might also help, bless ‘em. I wonder if any of them have noticed they’re getting reposted for a pasting?
:o)
Shouldn’t their be a section for those posts/people who have absolutely nothing to say on the subject but just need to post? The ‘didn’t know him, don’t care’ post on the obituary threads seems to have become a standard example of this. Or the ‘I have no interest in this thread.’ post. Are they being fiendishly existential and obscure, or nobs?
Also… Judging by the amount of time the real HYS hardcore spend posting (and it’s hours and hours a day, 7 days a week for some of them), I’d say it’s fairly certain they are genuinely psychologically addicted. They are trapped in there! … the horror!… the horror!
Yeah. Fucking ex-pats. Or ex-”bats”!! as I like to call them. Ex-brits more like. Or ex-parts maybe. Ex-perts they most certainly are not. (Except the ones that know a lot about something.)
If they like abroad so much why don’t they… No, hang on, if they *don’t* like Britain so much why… fuck, hang on…
Got it!
A section named ‘ “so-called” experts ‘ for those who attempt to drag up the smattering of science they can recall from junior school in order to disprove the opinions of the world’s scientific community.
Briliant, just brilliant.
I live amongst these people.
This place keeps me sane.
Great site, depressing yet hilarious.
Currently my favourite site on the net. The crackpots would be funny enough on their own but your comments (and other peoples’ as well) are just perfect. I’ve had to stop reading this at work as the snorting makes it just too obvious.
Thanks, and keep going.
I think this might just be the best site on the internet…
What rubbish this site is. As owner of the understand much about the laws of copyright or and much of what goes for blogging is potentially libellous. The law is moving ahead of you.
The fact that you hide behind anonymity shows that neither your views or categorisation have any real relevance, except in the fantasy sewer world that you inhabit.
In other words, by not identifying yourself, you have about as much relevance as a pimple, on the backside of a flea.
Has someone taken the piss out of your ill-conceived wittering on HYS then? Come on, which one are you?
(Update: Ah, found you. I’ll give you a top tip, if you *do* want to do the anonymous thing, googling your real name then clicking on the links is not a good idea).
By the way, the “pimple on a flea” thing is a bit weak. I’d have said something like:
“You pricks are just as closed-minded as the people you’re sneering at. I hope you tear your arsehole on a rusty nail”.
Watch and learn.
Was a good guess about the PhD wasn’t it?
So says ‘codabiz’. I assume that is your real name? Wow, even your parents didn’t like you, did they?
Do tell. Please?
“As owner of the understand much about the laws of copyright or and much of what goes for blogging is potentially libellous.”
This comment - particularly as it’s directed at someone who takes the piss out of cretinous comments - is just utterly glorious.
codabiz, if you like HYS so much, why don’t you go live there?
I do hope that the HYSers don’t start doing too much self-editing in fear of appearing here in your Twunts Gallery … because they do improve my world no end. Just not in the way they think they do.
I suppose a site like this had to come into existence at some point.
After all, the left wing f*ckwits who actually believe anything that the Government or the BBC says can’t let criticism of their scams carry on for too long or we might all start to realise what a bunch of losers they really are.
The only consolation is that you are a dying breed. Your brand of abject idiocy is now so obviously an evolutionary dead end that the rest of us can just sit and watch you wither away and die.
You will not be missed.
You don’t need to put an asterisk in your rude words on here, James.
Quick, Nelson, let’s breed.
