The Irony Meter Goes 'Spoing'!

A.C. Grayling, Humanist Godhead and author of the super-modern, urban sophisticate Bible, The Good Book, has been given a rather rude and unexpected comeuppance by those who should know to treat their betters...well, better!

According to the Telegraph, Grayling was engaged in a debate about cuts to the arts at Foyles bookshop when he was "verbally abused" by a group of protesters who were somewhat exercised by Grayling's plans to set up a new university which happens to be super-expensive and, it seems...elitist.

Prof Grayling, who will become the president of the New College of the Humanities (NCH) which will charge students fees of £18,000 each year, was heckled as he tried to talk about cuts to the arts.

Imagine! The mind boggles.  Unfortunately, the heckling was followed on by a smoke bomb which caused a rather hurried end to the evening's festivities and an evacuation.
