British Right-Wing Pundits

the most normal paper on normal island

At the time, when Julie Burchill was sending me abusive and defamatory tweets, I tried to contact her editor Allister Heath at the Sunday Telegraph both on Twitter and via email.

He never replied.

God, Allister Heath, that guy is a horror.

weird how these things just keep happening to Julie through no fault of her own

Amazing 48hrs for Julie Burchill. pic.twitter.com/i26rHCiEmy

can't wait for the book about the book

still haven't got over hearing Julie's weird voice tbh

wouldn't be a good "narrated by author" option for audible

Not a journo more of a twitter grifter being utterly deranged

A very lovely man and a brilliant journalist.

astonishing that a published obituary or various commentators on twitter would omit to mention that his "lovely guy" murdered his wife

He was a kind man though and he murdered his wife out of kindness - how could she have wished to live without him after his subsequent suicide (which he failed to accomplish at six times of trying)? Good thing they didn't have children! They'd have been murdered too. What a vile fucking misogynist, as is everyone tweeting about what a wonderful fella he was.

She’s definitely a journo for the Mail but ISTG spends most of her time on FB journo groups pretending she’s not part of Gnasher.

Very sad news. I had the pleasure to work alongside John as he made the world worse to enrich an awful Australian billionaire. I remember him once joking at the Wapping St canteen: “this reminds me of that time I held my wife’s head under water until she died”

One of the replies to that gives you the warning message: "The following media includes potentially sensitive content." It's a gif of a black football player saying something innocuous. Keep on, Twitter.

I had no idea who you were talking about so had to google - I wasn't going to look at either of those tweets - and wtf?!?! If nothing else it shows why Boris Johnson's serial infidelities and fathering of children willy nilly is no biggie to these cunts.

Yeah everyone above otm, it’s so awful that I saw Jeet Heer pick it up because the rationale is just off the charts

What a lovely, sensitive tribute you have written to this man. As he helped a lot of young hacks do u fancy following in his footsteps and helping me???

Nice try! Maybe on another day.

tbh, the problem is less that they would show kindness, empathy and a belief in rehabilitation in relation to someone they knew, it’s that they would actively deny and work against even a fraction of a percentage of the same being shown to anyone they don’t.

mic wright's piece good on this:

I have always maintained that Mathew Parris is the absolute worst of this group of terrible people.

This is disgusting and just the latest example of The Times attacking GRT people — a minority who are never given a voice in the national press and are endlessly vilified. pic.twitter.com/hHOuIkr77i

didn't he grow up in Southern Rhodesia? Vile man. There probably were identical articles in that 30's party's house newspaper

he's very polite though

I find his "polite reasonable sensible thinker" shtick deeply fucking sinister.

BRWP just love telling you things have "gone too far" when what they mean is someone disagrees with them.

It's time we stopped pandering to commentators. Indulging those who claim to be journalists by giving them designated sites and verified account status has gone too far.

you get some horrific guest/nominee combinations with this creep on Great Lives, but lol I still listen to it. I can't remember if the true nadir was Timothy Mallet doing Richard The Lionheart or Al Murry choosing Monty.

Woke Soubz says this piece is spot on, what exactly was "woke" about her? That she was friends with Chuka maybe.

I cannot listen to a minute of Great Lives, it judt seems like an exercise in MP setting himself up as an arbiter of worthiness, second-worst thing on R4 after The Moral Maze.

I have always maintained that Mathew Parris is the absolute worst of this group of terrible people.

OTM.

I feel quite attacked when one of my heroes is featured on GL, but yet still I listen and know it isn't doing me any good!

@michaelrosenyes The Tory Party has been a party of the left since it adopted Blairism under Cameron. One day you might get it. https://t.co/Ll2UjvqKT4

— Peter Hitchens (@ClarkeMicah) May 30, 2021

Hitchens is having a heated discussion with Michael Rosen!

his completely addled version of recent history includes: that Blair was a Eurocommunist, so was Cameron and the BBC amongst many other British institutions has been infiltrated by the left. Some proof of this is that the BBC don't often invite him back these days.

cancelled again, too racist even for the Torygraph.

still trying to edgelord in your sixties - that is beyond tragic.

lol, jfc at both of those. It's such a shame cancel culture never fucking sticks.

oh she'll still get plenty of work in the UK media. It's slightly surprisingly that the Torygraph actually have a line on racism that you can't cross, probably a difficult line to define but it's obv there!

you've got to do polite racism like Parris does.

you can do all the racism you like in the telegraph but you can't say that a ROYAL baby named after HER MAJESTY and PRINCESS DIANA OF ALL OUR HEARTS should instead be named "Georgina Floydina" - she should have saved her shit fucking joke for the baby of a musician or an actor, her editor would have loved it.

she probably thought it was open

season (that fucking couple) and no rules applied.

fuck giles coren

if you've lucked into the job of going to fancy restaurants for a living you'd think you'd count yr blessings and try to be a somewhat affable presence

he's deleted the tweet, the disgusting little weasel

people rightfully hated a a gill but he never did anything even 10% as vile as this cunt.

yeah A A was a decent human being next to this disgusting little piece of shit

what did he say

He didn’t “sign into the wrong account”. The left was his first draft and the right is what he genuinely thought would be fine pic.twitter.com/nO6YeOUNXo

Lol

I'm used to terrible people thriving but if there is no sanction for Coren's obscene cruelty, then that will be a moral failure even by the standards of the columnist circuit.

— Dorian Lynskey (@Dorianlynskey) July 20, 2021

I'm guessing the Coren comment was about Dawn? So the follow up guess is that DL probably called fuck out of her for most of her politics throughout her career

But maybe this is the non-liberal bit of my brain being illiberal

one of my fave Dawn memorial anecdotes of the last few days was that she got quite drunk at some Graun do and made some pretty rum comments to many of them, including calling Will Self a nonce! I'm sure DL was completely up in arms when his employers sacked her whilst she was in hospital.
