Now, this is a tricky one, George, because it’s a subject on which my opinion has altered violently. And this is a disaster! My God, everyone knows that newspaper readers cling to the opinions of columnists like passengers on the Titanic fastened on to the few lifeboats there upon the chopping, churning sea.

What are the rules about wearing one’s hat indoors?

BY Hadley Freeman

I was never one to toot my own horn, but I think we can all agree that, in this world of desperate uncertainty and political upheavals, where Russell Brand is trusted by more people than politicians and it turns out football is full of corruption, the one thing people can turn to is the opinion of newspaper columnists.

And everyone knows the most trusted of this breed is, of course, the fashion columnist. Where on earth would the people be without the fashion columnist there to say whether skirts should be on the knee or just below it, whether one’s chunky high heels should make one look like a frail fawn learning how to walk or like a dominatrix? They would be utterly lost, I tell you, wailing in the streets, rending the burlap sacks they wear as they have no idea what else to don, beseeching the skies above them: “Oh for God’s sake! Please! Send us a guru from whom we can learn what to wear, when and how!”
