This is idiocy, of course, but it comes from an expected source. A rather less expected source is Stephen Malkmus, who, in the current edition of Index magazine, says it's nice to be in Portland rather than New York, then adds "But the west coast has a downside too, like the number of ridiculous leftists..." He then recounts an anecdote of wanting to shove one of said leftists up against a wall. So that's what "Pig Lib" meant!

Malkmus made snidey comments about "leftists" on "Embassy Row" years back. He's probably worried they'd make him get his haircut and stop mumbling.

er, except the two things don't contradict each other? obviously they need to end private education and level the field, unless we're to 'enjoy' the same kind of horrible 'affirmative action' debate (on class as much as race lines) here as they had in the states (obv this probably isn't the mail's view...)

While Dacre was known for retreating to his Scottish Highlands estate, former Tatler editor Greig prepared for the job by taking a holiday in Zimbabwe, which is being written up for the society magazine by his son Jasper – recently appointed as Tatler’s London editor.The Old Etonian, who has taken fellow Old Etonian Tobyn Andreae with him to be deputy editor, is happy to be photographed at celebrity parties and mixes in the same circles as the Rothermeres...

has Doreen Lawrence ever commented on the Daily Mail's "murderers" front page? Not that it makes a difference either way to these scumbags being scumbags, but I've always thought it very strange how it was the Daily Mail who took the biggest risk around the case.
