his Short History of Power is 160 pages long. Maybe read it for a hate laugh? No No No No No, not a good idea!

I feel like him and Tristam Hunt have much History bantz together, despite their obvious political polarity.

What, as in "That's you that is..."

Mark G, Friday, 8 June 2018 22:49 (five years ago) link

probably, but pointing at pictures of their own parents and cousins or cousins fucked by other cousins and so on - ad infinitum!

That Paul Dacre profanity filter story is on Page 9 of this week's Private Eye. Props to Mark G for the nudge.

Thanks, I'm well chuffed. I meant to submit that story years ago, but the timing was suddenly perfect.

it's one of David Cameron and Boris Johnson's Eton contemporaries Geordie Greig at the helm now, so you can be sure that a pivot towards socialism will now happen

Neil S, Wednesday, 24 October 2018 08:36 (five years ago) link

as if some posh cunt is called Geordie!

affectionate public school nickname because he visited somewhere north of Sandringham once

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...

Seriously, it's like the last hundred years never happened.

the last hundred years didn't happen for the rich iirc

Hope the cunts go bankrupt

Prince Harry, Sir Elton John, David Furnish, Elizabeth Hurley, Sadie Frost and Baroness Doreen Lawrence have launched a legal action against Associated Newspapers, publishers of The Daily Mail, The Mail on Sunday and the Mail Online.

I mean so far so British tabloid but genuinely poisonous and awful rag, does it ever produce anything newsworthy?

Hamlins LLP said the "unlawful acts alleged to have taken place include:
1) The hiring of private investigators to secretly place listening devices inside people’s cars and homes

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) October 6, 2022



2) The commissioning of individuals to surreptitiously listen into and record people’s live, private telephone calls whilst they were taking place
3) The payment of police officials, with corrupt links to private investigators, for inside, sensitive information

— Daniel Sandford (@BBCDanielS) October 6, 2022



They were also exposed during Depp v Heard for meeting with Depp, his lawyer (who was booted off the case for leaking evidence) and publishing selectively edited audio to sway public opinion, but nobody cared about that.

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.

boxedjoy, Thursday, 6 October 2022 16:49 (one year ago) link

The Mail became interested when it transpired that Neville Lawrence had worked for the Dacres as a handyman.

A reminder that the Daily Mail was about to do a hit job on the Lawrences then Neville who had done plastering work at editor Paul Dacre’s house rang him up & said it was his son and could he help & Dacre was reminded of their humanity https://t.co/iSSrp8agAR

I didn't know the Mail was about to go after the Lawrence family (not exactly surprising).

xyzzzz__, Friday, 7 October 2022 09:23 (one year ago) link

I knew about the Dacre connection but imagined they were just ignoring the story, rather than planning a hit-piece
