o god the thought of siding with the Spiked massive might drive me to vote "Stay" after all

Golly, Spiked on the same side as the hard right, what strange bedfellows.

Have noticed a female journalist (don't know her name) from Spiked has been popping on telly lately, just saw her discussing International Women's Day on Sky News... I think you can guess what she thinks of it, in fact you could probably guess at every single word that comes out of her mouth.

She was hugely in favour of celebrating feminism and campaigning against all the very real inequalities that women throughout the world are still subject to?
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 8 March 2016 12:04 (eight years ago) link
Not quite.

Damn I thought I had it
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 8 March 2016 12:08 (eight years ago) link
tbh she was thrown when the Sky presenter pointed out that not every woman in the world lives in Zone 1 (some live in Zone 4), paraphrasing somewhat there. Not very impressive all round.

Another day, another 12 year old from Spiked arguing the toss on Sky News, this time about the statue of Cecil Rhodes that some students want removed from some Oxford college.

o man the so-called politically correct brigade are censoring our glorious history which shd totally be celebrated
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 10:53 (eight years ago) link
waging a culture war of words against misanthropy, priggishness, prejudice, luddism, illiberalism and irrationalism
k I reckon supporting Cecil scores as misanthropy, prejudice, Luddism and illiberalism at least
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 10:55 (eight years ago) link
Seems like programme makers have discovered Spiked, so expecting more appearances from these twats.

― Gaz upon my works ye mighty, and despair (Neil S), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 10:58 (eight years ago) link
found an old Graun piece by intellectual heavyweight Will Hutton of a similar stripe to the Spikeistas equating "not having monuments celebrating dead imperialists" with "re-writing history" which seems a bit of a stretch tbh
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 11:17 (eight years ago) link
"remember when they pulled down that statue of Lenin and then everybody forgot what happened in Russia in 1917?"
― Szechuan TV (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 9 March 2016 11:18 (eight years ago) link
maybe there's something to be said for leaving shameful effigies in place as a reminder of the more hateful episodes of our history?

Claire Fox, talking about people on the left posts overreacting to Trump's tweets, "... and I'm from the Left". Hard to follow that one.

Brendan O'Really? putting on a fine save-a-Trump performance right now, what with the campaign against the President by the liberal mainstream media and Hilary not exactly being squeaky clean either, dontchaknow. Time to forget Hillsborough too btw.

I'd love to see Brendan getting beaten to death by a gang of Scouse football hooligans! But let's not forget he is friendly with some 90's ILM indie counterculture heroes, who are apparently beyond criticism.

― what's wrong with being centre-y? (Noodle Vague), Friday, 23 August 2019 18:21 (four years ago) link
These popped up again on the main thread but I'll ask here instead of derailing.
I still don't really understand where these are coming from. I could understand if they were Strasserite/Nationalist but they just seem to occupy the same space as the Spectator. I guess they're sort of a UK equivalent of Rave Dubin / Pim Tool but they aren't organic in any way, and Spiked seems like it kind of is and has a real audience? Identity politics for people who hate identity politics? (but thats kind of centrists, though I guess thats for people who are blind to the fact they have an identity)
Is Nagle one of them yet?

It makes sense to think of them primarily as an astroturfing exercise / extension of a libertarian think tank, rather than a media outlet with a significant popular following.
