Taking one's line from The Sun

As is to be expected, the kind of people who comment on the Daily Jail and related objects have replaced any attempt at thinking with sloganizing and a great deal of insults. I don't want to be drawn into this kind of thing, although I would notify any prospective opponent that where invective is concerned I'm the 500'kilo gorilla; but I do think that people might at least try to avoid speaking of countries and people of which they obviously know as much as I know of playing backgammon.
