British Right-Wing Pundits

Which reminds me that we haven't seen anyone smirking about how birth rates supposedly spike 9 months after a blackout. (They actually tend to go down.)

microwaving tinned spaghetti hoops from the foodbank before you run out of power is a hell of an aphrodisiac

Ye gods, could Irish right-wing pundits actually be worse? You won't be able to read this because it's paywalled but you really don't want to anyway, believe me.

The Daily Telegraph in general seems to be maniacally fixated on two subjects: "woke" and the SNP/Nicola Sturgeon.

... and to prove my point, this absolutely insane column by leading Brexit bonehead David Frost. Again paywalled but, take my word for it, the SNP should be printing this up and dropping from aircraft over Scotland come the next referendum.

sure I guess

the tories will be fixing to defund journalism degrees next, you could earn more being a floor layer or a shit shoveler (same skillset) so what's the point ... etc.

old enough to be unconvinced journalism degrees have been at all good for journalism

(not that the previous route up thru the office from local paper glue-boy to multinational editor-in-chief will ever be accessible again either)

People who had safe reporter jobs in local rags up to late 20th century, like doing the match reports for local football team or roving reporter on the crown green bowling league or whatever. And getting a comfortable wage for doing it. Shit, it must all seem like an impossible dream now.

come on guys, don't be down, there's absolutely a future for journalism in the UK, as part of a revolving door buddy system with finance and the conservative party

the editor at my local rag - Wayne Anker probably doesn't have a safe job. But nominative determinism and all that, he has a big future in the game.

just realised i had somehow been recently unfollowed from the shropshire star on twitter, another grim sign of decline

improve the quality of UK discourse with this one simple IED

Darren Grimes uncancelled I see?

Not quite a pundit, more a right-wing fantasist/grifter, I suppose.

remember when his views were like oh my god can you believe anyone thinks like this and not semi-mainstream

Hate that twitter makes me aware of worms like Lee Harpin..

a) this call didn't happen b) rejection by friends/family/your community is the single most painful thing about being on the Jewish left, and has brought me to my lowest ever moments. Is pointing that out supposed to be some kind of gotcha? https://t.co/q8WYFej4Hi

Lee Harpin used to be an Edgy Style Mag contributor. Always a total bell-end.

Yeah in a crowded field his behaviour has been particularly disgusting these past few days.

he's got a very *colourful* cv

There’s quite a bit I could say here…

Really needs to be a 77 version of this thread

It's not about age, that's someone who grifts.

Madeleine Grant is the daughter of Sally Jones, and mum’s a Tory too.

You probably won't be able to read this but it's a Telegraph writer waxing nostalgic about growing up during the Troubles and having lots of friendly British soldiers patrolling the streets. Great bunch o' lads, so they were.

imagine watching Mark Dolan present Balls of Steel in 2005 and someone telling you that it would actually be the least worst thing he was ever involved in

A Celebration of Dissent hosted by Marc Bolan.

the god-given right of any Englishman to drive their Mini directly into a tree

I'm too sexy for my steering

He wasn't driving, in a situation which acts as a kind of metaphor fro the plight of Prince Harry, he was being driven by an American woman of dubious ethnicity.

Never quite sure if Sir Christopher Chope is real or a Twitter pretend thing

Right Said Fred still on the anti-vaxx thing I'm assuming? Those types get sadder every day, everyone else has moved on...

its becoming clear that Andrew Bridgen is making moves for that post MP career as a GB News presenter.

Climate change seems to be the next big battleground.

Whatever else happens, half of this treehouse meeting will be spent chastising Harry and Meghan for dissenting.

When chatting ignorant and dangerous shit gets you the most attention you've had in years it must be very hard for some people to give it up

just a shame that Brendon O'Neill and his massive forehead were unavailable

The forehead is always available.

got some front on him that guy

right said forehead
