And speaking of, the disco goth is suing Toby Young:

This is self-evidently absurd. But it is also defamatory. I will be taking legal advice tomorrow morning. I shall make no further comment.

Apologies Philip. The suggestion that “speculators” are controlling the govt could be construed as an anti-Semitic trope if “speculators” is being used as a euphemism for Jewish financiers, as it sometimes is. But you evidently didn’t mean that and I’ve deleted the tweet.

it was a useful exercise if he did intend to publicly explore his own Antisemitism and incur a libel case for slander!

I'm seeing this "criticising the city/bankers is antisemitic" trope more and more these days. I've even seen people saying being "anti-capitalist" at all is antisemitic. even centrist music journalists are at it

surely assuming capitalists/evil city types are predominantly jewish is the actual antisemitism there but what do I know

Colonel Poo, Monday, 30 September 2019 09:12 (four years ago) link

one things for sure, it’s a great way to avoid engaging with anticapitalist ideas

Jews getting the blame for both Capitalism and Communism, that's an old favourite.

it's *strange* how old AS tropes like protocols of elders of zion/the Judeobolshevik myth sort of cancelled each other out whilst many nazis were still happy to preach both of them

Did Boris Johnson go to Wakefield just to mess with the SEO for Jacob Rees Mogg's Andrew Wakefield comparison

my febrile Brexit brain believes this, and that his studiedly awkward bus nonsense was too

I'm predictably doomy about the spread of Q-Anon type nonsense to this arena

I asked my right-wing cousin if he thought this to be the case, but he wasn't quite there yet. There was definitely the wanting it to be true but couldn't quite do it. I think probably a year or so away

I came to Manchester for #CPC19. I had every intention of proudly representing millions of students across our country. However, as President of @nusuk and a Muslim woman I cannot in good conscience participate in a Conference that openly denies the existence of Islamophobia.

BBC News has just broadcast a clip of Boris Johnson responding to a question about whether he squeezed Charlotte Edwardes’ thigh at a Spectator lunch 20 years ago with a long and rambling reply about his plans to improve bus services.

Buses again, I swear there's something Freudian going on there.

Then tells crowd: “If any of you read the Guardian I advise you on health grounds to leave the room”.

ooo, scandal

Mary Wakefield, the Spectator journalist who is married to Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson’s chief of staff, has denied being the second woman at the lunch attended by Charlotte Edwardes 20 years ago who was groped by Johnson. There was a rumour that she was the second woman referred to in Edwardes’ Sunday Times column but not named.

Nah, she’s not the other woman but I have it on very good authority that she had good cause to stay out of his reach.
