British Right-Wing Pundits

DL "I may not have referred to The Spectator by name when I have criticised them countless times"

how do you do that?!

he used the code phrase "Jeremy Corbyn"

DL also published this today (posted on the JFK thread earlier) on the cow blog and you can see all the rooms in the racism factory by following this dickhead:

I know it's another "if Corbyn had won" but if he had I wonder whether the likes of unheard would exist or employ liberals to write for them when they'd need the stronger stuff.

It doesn't take Poirot to work out why liberal journalists might not zealously monitor your output so that they can make sure you feel sufficiently supported in your pet causes. Not least because maybe they have their own pet causes, which you in turn don't get involved in.

Also most of these people were conspicuously silent when OJ was physically attacked by racists, when those racists were caught, and when those racists were convicted, despite all of these things being top news stories at the time.

lol

Dorian helpfully picking this moment to remind us that he writes regularly for TWO far right publications https://t.co/g7T9gYnM8K pic.twitter.com/0EoduuadwJ

DL has only just calmed down now, don't let him see this!

Dickie Canine!

Gladstonian liberalism = the O.G. woke bullshit!

Is it April 1st?

By the way, Lyn$k3y's quite a regular in the library I work, I've never actually had any direct dealings with him myself but I've seen him around and, Jesus, what a miserable looking, joyless cunt. He used to mostly read rock biog stuff but I noticed the other day he had a whole lot of books on comets and asteroids and shit.

It'll be pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving meteor next.

lol that's his next project

the dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving brexit podcast was top stuff

dinosaurs meltosauruses

Errr, some of us do have resting bitch faces, you know. I've been drinking with DL a few times in a former life, and he was thoroughly affable and easy-going company.

maybe working towards normalising fascism for two different bigoted far right-wing media outlets has taken it's toll on the poor dear.

Ok..

Someone I knew once went on a date with Sathnam and she was horrified when she returned because he spent the entire time talking via a puppet. https://t.co/8pxQZORInl

Darren Grimes is set to join GB News in 2022 following the departure of Andrew Neil and Simon McCoy.

He'll be hosting a weekend show called ‘Real Britain'. https://t.co/iLj4Gbn7g9

A Tory peer has spent boxing Day going at a 21 yo Leninist. Mad to watch.

Hi Daniel. I think Leninism is invidious. A murderous idea. So I think it worth countering. It’s definitely worth my time.

Day 3:

I don’t regard myself as anything of the sort, Daniel. As someone who suffered under the austerity you helped inflict, who saw people’s lives destroyed & cut short, I’m simply committed to ensuring that can never happen again and for everyone to have a dignified life https://t.co/v8LkyRkdHr

Incredible content from Aaro to round out the year, this.

By the way (and here’s a complication) why is Prince Andrew ‘privileged’ over, say, me, when I envy nothing about his life or upbringing?

As a person paid to write for a living why would he understand what words mean?

it's tough at the top, eh? what a fuckwit. when he had a regular 10 minute opinion slot on R4 he said that women that talk about the inequities of western patriarchal society need to grow up because "they sound like students". Total fucking dickhead.

I see Giles Coren is at it again

I am not surprised. Most people who report on politics in this country do not understand the subject, lacking the Marxist training which I had in my distant youth. They call Sir Keir ‘moderate’ because he is not Jeremy Corbyn. A fat lot they know.

Jeremy Corbyn is, of course, a wild Leftist, a man of clenched-fist salutes, street protests and red banners who probably dreams of storming Buckingham Palace at the head of a detachment of Red Guards.

But he is one of the obvious, old-fashioned sort, steam-powered, coal-fired. You can see him a mile off and defeat him with ease. Sir Keir is much more dangerous. His fanaticism is as smooth as the moisturiser he applies daily to his handsome face. It is designed for the age of the internet.

P Hitchens in 2020 on Starmer. I don't why he's linked to it today other than he thinks it is a very prescient observation that has aged very well. At least he is funny like a clown.

That quote can't be real I must be hallucinating it.

"Corbyn was so easy to defeat" -- actually he has been far nearer having power than Starmer. He'd be shitting himself if Corbyn was still leader. The argument for re-nationalisation would be overwhelming.

The political class is very lucky that Corbyn had the EU problem to deal with.

also that he was only a thousand + votes away from forming a minority government in 2017 is something that seems to have completely bypassed the Hitch brane. But I think he's going senile tbh.

Really amused that Peter H thinks men applying moisturiser is some kind of tell in 2022.

well these handsome male politicians "in the age of the internet" (like Kieth lol) can't be having dry skin issues!

perhaps it's more about the age of HD televisions

that's not moisturiser it's glaze

Peter Glaze

i have no wish to know whether he does that

he seasons his face with a teaspoon of smoked paprika

hence his somewhat goulash appearance

lol

also that he was only a thousand + votes away from forming a minority government in 2017 is something that seems to have completely bypassed the Hitch brane.

It has bypassed many brains to be fair.

the Marxist training which I had in my distant youth

this is interesting (mildly) (very mildly) (to me alone)): back in the day i seem to recall PH denied he'd ever been a member of whichever marxist groupuscule it was

(it was the IS = the international socialism group, which became the swp and which his brother was also in, and i see that wikipedia now includes PH's membership as a fact, so either i'm misremembering the disavowment lol or he was feebly fibbing back then)

he's forgetting that he was on the trot wing. But some of the claims he makes about the where on the political spectrum of Blair/Starmer/Cameron suggests to me he has some form of dementia. And I don't mean it facetiously.

I didn't know he'd denied his Marxist heritage but his broken binaries very much indicate that you can't take the boy out of etc

Also anybody wanna buy a copy of Socialist Worker?

I think I've internalised that he's slightly different in some mysterious way to other right-wing conservative commentators, probably cos he often criticises NATO and takes alternative positions on post Soviet Russia. But he's still basically a very horrible idiot and often completely clueless!

it was the IS = the international socialism group, which became the swp and which his brother was also in

... as was Garry Bushell.

indeed

(tho i don't think he's ever denied it)

doing Sun columns and nazi-monikered oi compilations keeps one honest, guv.
