[current list] total horses' backsides

Just got down to the serious task of my Top Ten Total Horse's Backsides.

Barry Humphries called this sort of person a "ratbag", a total waste of space, a useless person who nonetheless gets in the way and feels his/her position is of great importance.

You get the idea.

This thing needs to have some limits, some rules perhaps. For a start, they need to be living - you can't very well put in Messalina or Napoleon, for example. Nor can you put in Jimmy MacDonald of Strathclyde, whom no one knows from Adam. They don't need to be celebrities either but neither can they be total unknowns.

Another factor is if they are deliberate AHs or accidentally so and the level of damage they inflict on the world. Right, with that in mind, go to it! Here are mine [always reserving the right to add to or delete from the list, of course]:

"Total Horses' Backsides" Currently Inflicting Themselves Upon Us

1] Financial cabals leading us into the new feudalism and the next war [Well aware]

2] Pornographers and slavers financing the cabals [Well aware]

3] Spammers [Well aware]

4] Stock photo sellers on the web who put logos through the photo [Well aware]

5] People who waste your time or take the p--s [Often aware]

6] PCers and moral relativists who have destroyed education and society in general [Mostly unaware]

9] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [Totally unaware]

10] Paris Hilton [Totally unaware]

I couldn't quite fit in climate sceptics, humanists and a certain type of unreasonable girl [see post below]. Not to worry. Tomorrow, if the flat's still intact, I'll post the Top Ten Good People.

Who's on your list?
