Caustic columnist Julie Burchill has announced an early retirement from her noteworthy career as an English journalist (for NME, The Guardian, Times Online) and author of several books. As a self-proclaimed chav and critic of all, Burchill burned many celebrities during her writing tenure, but none received her contempt to such a degree as David and Victoria Beckham:

Much as it pains a feminist such as myself to say so, [David] Beckham has been grotesquely, massively, pussy-whipped by his talentless, ambition-hound of a wife. In my defence I would point out that if a woman I’d previously considered strong and accomplished was being remade as a mindless booby by her male partner I’d think she was dick-whipped.

It is not hard to see why Beckham, however misguidedly, is going along with his wife’s empty headed game-plan; he is completely in love with the woman, and there is a long tradition in the English working-class of the gentle giant husband giving in to Her Indoors for the sake of a quiet life.

Why Victoria is pursuing such an ultimately destructive course for this formerly golden union is the stuff of darker motivation… By making him more like her - a transient, trivial flibbertigibbet, obsessed with the “bigger picture” of fashion and makeup - her own dismay at her blatant, growingly evident lack of simple talent may be less of a blot on the horizon.

Quite frankly, she had me at “pussy-whipped,” but I’m easy like that. Good luck to the chavtastic Julie Burchill in all her future plans.
