You can tell the passing seasons just by reading the regular TV fixtures that pop up in the Daily Mail news calendar. There's the "too many Christmas repeats" story, the "not enough religion on the telly at Easter" tale, and that perennial favourite, "outrage at presenters who don't wear poppies". This year it's Jon Snow's turn to take the hit. One person complained in the comments section on Jon's Snowblog about him not yet wearing a poppy. Four people posted comments agreeing with Jon's refusal to surrender to what he called "poppy fascism". One person then complained on Twitter, leading Snow to point out he has bought a poppy but will not wear it until Remembrance Sunday. And er... that's it. Enough to make page 3 of the Mail though. And it's only a month until the Christmas repeats story. Monkey can hardly wait.
