British Right-Wing Pundits

_this is just antisemitism with extra steps_

wasn't she in some massive, stupid, indefensible row with her local Rabbi, accusing her of not being properly jewish enough, etc?

Reading her Twitter feed this morning I did think "yeah, she won't be on here long" but wasn't expecting it to be deleted a couple of hours later. I reported a very nasty anti-bisexual post she put up a few days ago which seems to have gone unnoticed.

i mean self-hatred blah blah etc -- plus she's weaponised identity as cover for bigotry all her life -- but htf is she not openly and self-declaredly bisexual herself?

She wrote a TV series about it! I do not get what she is about besides giggling and throwing poo, and she can't even seem to do that right these days.

She had a quite a high profile affair with Charlotte Raven, wasnt it? When she was married to the American who also wrote for the Times iirc

From wikipedia

She wrote of the joys of having a "toyboy" in her Times "Weekend Review" column. Fellow NME journalist/author Paul Wellings wrote about their friendship in his book I'm A Journalist...Get Me Out of Here. She has written about her lesbian relationships, and declared that "I would never describe myself as 'heterosexual', 'straight' or anything else. Especially not 'bisexual' (it sounds like a sort of communal vehicle missing a mudguard). I like 'spontaneous' as a sexual description".
In 2009 she said that she was only attracted to girls in their 20s, and since she was now nearly 50, "I really don't want to be an old perv. So best leave it".

quite staggering how a career in broadsheet media has basically turned her into a middle-aged man

How to get ahead in Fleet Street.

quite staggering how a career in broadsheet media has basically turned her into a middle-aged man

seems legit

a middle-aged man with a certain broadsheet-columnist cachet

cocaine and ressentiment

that's how i roll

wd read noodle vague's jeans-wearing thoughts on the culture wars

i am too old for blue jeans, that's about as much as i know

tho i wonder if it's the jeans per se or the jeans/tucked-in shirt combo that reeks

have another line and think about what you've just said

The latter definitely, there are jeans for everyone

i've not been mad about blue jeans for a long time tbf, prefer other colours

for the last 20 odd years I've wore little else other than .. ahem.. relaxed fit, black 501s, for the last decade usually 2nd hand from e-bay. The last ones I ordered they bloody well sent me w34 l32. I angrily messaged them: I wouldn't have even fitted into those 15 years ago (or 35 years ago if my name was Rod Liddle)

me neither calz, but yeah i'd go with black

Black fades so quickly though.

til things get brighter i'm the man in grey

this is the look to avoid

yeah that's been implicit

that's the spectre that haunts my age yes

I've got a shirt like that too :(

I have never wore a suit in my life, not even for court appearances or funerals. But I don't do leather jackets either. I remember once seeing Clive Anderson wearing a leather jacket and shades and thinking If I ever looked like that cunt I'd kill myself lol!

I wear jeans more or less daily. It's shorts that are to be avoided once one passes the age of...let's be extremely generous and say 25.

Damn my legs are the only part of me that is ripped, lol!

shorts are comfortable sometimes tho and tbf i'm not a fashion maven, only thinking about what i feel more or less of a twat in

I avoid shorts mainly because of a fear of getting bitten by a tick.

Left's photo reminds me there was a v mean-funny tumblr called "jeans and shoes" (or "jeans and sheuxs" or something)

xp

oh yeah wouldn't wear them anywhere where that's a possibility

I think my ego has been so thoroughly reduced in the last decade I've barely even got a conception of sartorial embarrassment any more. I'm probably just one stage away from taking a dump in a showroom toilet at B+Q!

comfort is the main motivator of dress it's gotta be said. maybe the cringe of yr Clarksons is that it looks like they're going for something beyond that?

xps to rob don’t know the tumblr but do know the twitter

omg an early Christmas gift!

Hachette have now cancelled publishing Julie Burchill’s forthcoming book The Woke Trials. @boozeandfagz after telling her to shut down her twitter.

HAHAHAHA

AND HEEEEEEEEERE COME THE THINKPIECES

Helen Lewis: don't encourage the plebs to write a book, jEz. And also getting books published is one of the inalienable universal human rights for all.

As hilarious as this is, you really have to wonder what Hachette thought they were getting into commissioning a book by Julie Burchill called "The Woke Trials"

willing to bet JB can trade up to a better publishing deal with this

(possibly with an even less discerning publisher)

well it must have been a business choice rather than artistic one, but jeez does her crap sell that much to make it worth the reputation damage?

she was literally a millionaire off of PLATINUM LOGIC etc in the 80s

(which lol i bought and read: not good even as a pulp roman a clef abt joan jett if she'd signed to motown, the very evident inspiration)

everything else merely sells p well within the UK media village i think

simon and schuster gave milo a million-dollar advance iirc!

then he started yanking the actually-paedos-are-good lever lol (also there was a terricially funny courtcase abt it where discovery included them trying to edit the actual manuscript) (JB in the old days was well known as diligent at filing copy that needed little editorial work if you ignored like fact-checking any of the opinions -- viz she can spell and write a good sentence and construct a workable argument)

in conclusion publishers don't know what they're doing either and everything is a stupid lottery

But Milo, at the time, was riding high on the alt-right/alt-lite wave. I can see how someone would think publishing a book of his would be very profitable. Burchill's time has passed, surely? If you want a FrEe SpEeCh islamophobia outrage read there's so many others to choose from.
