British Right-Wing Pundits

using that risible Scott Tobias piece on Shrek as an example of critics being silenced by the twitter mob is quite unworthy of a quid a word!

To mark 20 years since 9/11 Brendan has provided us with an extra-specially-stupid take, I mean this one is going to be really hard to beat.

How can there be so little brain lurking within Brendan's massive noggin?

and LOL I just discovered that Spiked have blocked me on Twitter. Such snowflakes.

i'm not saying Brendan isn't a 5 watt bulb, but he also knows what he's doing with stuff like the Osama piece, who he's playing to, and how he's shaping the long term background music

not sure how this one is playing (he has long ago blocked me) but surely this take is so ridiculous that even his usual fans will be going "nah"

One of the best things about the pandemic is that Brendan O'Neill has disappeared from our TV screens, the only Spiked person you regularly see these days is Ella Whelan but, to compensate, she is on everything.

baldlisted by the UK establishment because they just can't handle the bald truth

I obviously love to hate her, but I gotta say, “reporting” news in this way (the teaser, the emojis) is gross pic.twitter.com/YAShb5eAV0

they wouldn't dare use them crass emojis if it was a report on Alec Baldwin perhaps, but when it is soldiers killing civilians it's fine.

If I could get just ten per cent of the population to understand the actual effect of clock-fiddling, it would be a major triumph. I doubt one in a thousand grasps it. But this does not stop them having strong opinions such as ‘I like the long evenings’. Crikey.

probably one of his more harmless talking points, but it's more and more becoming impressive that he hasn't managed to bore himself to death in these recent years as he advances into premature senility.

A spat over a piece by an ex-ilxor, who is reviewing a book by another ex-ilxor.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.

Here's a liberal commentator who likes to pontificate on the left's moral indecency, suggesting The Spectator soft soaping a fascist is somehow novel.

What do you know! He's been repeatedly commissioned by them!https://t.co/IE4ASH4MUM pic.twitter.com/iMAKbyY959

"My problem with this reaction is they pay for my holidays"

my problem is i think it's ok to take money off fascists

It's only on the odd occasion, btw.

I know the intention is to be a sanctimonious prick but my very occasional book reviews have never stopped me from calling them out.

Not to give their fash rags the veneer of moderation they’re using you for though.

The reason The Spectator commissions centrists is so it can go "yeah fine we publish white supremacism and neo nazi apologism but we also publish liberals so that's balance, checkmate critics!"

OJ is running rings round both DL and Helen Lewis, you love to see it

DL "I may not have referred to The Spectator by name when I have criticised them countless times"

how do you do that?!

he used the code phrase "Jeremy Corbyn"

DL also published this today (posted on the JFK thread earlier) on the cow blog and you can see all the rooms in the racism factory by following this dickhead:

https://unherd.com/2021/11/oliver-stones-seductive-conspiracies/

I know it's another "if Corbyn had won" but if he had I wonder whether the likes of unheard would exist or employ liberals to write for them when they'd need the stronger stuff.

It doesn't take Poirot to work out why liberal journalists might not zealously monitor your output so that they can make sure you feel sufficiently supported in your pet causes. Not least because maybe they have their own pet causes, which you in turn don't get involved in.

— Helen Lewis (@helenlewis) November 29, 2021

Also most of these people were conspicuously silent when OJ was physically attacked by racists, when those racists were caught, and when those racists were convicted, despite all of these things being top news stories at the time.

lol

if i was so pitifully bad at taking it i would simply ensure that i never dished it out

DL has only just calmed down now, don't let him see this!

Dickie Canine!

Gladstonian liberalism = the O.G. woke bullshit!

Is it April 1st?

By the way, Lyn$k3y's quite a regular in the library I work, I've never actually had any direct dealings with him myself but I've seen him around and, Jesus, what a miserable looking, joyless cunt. He used to mostly read rock biog stuff but I noticed the other day he had a whole lot of books on comets and asteroids and shit.

It'll be pictures of dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving meteor next.

lol that's his next project

the dinosaurs gazing haplessly at the arriving brexit podcast was top stuff

dinosaurs meltosauruses

Errr, some of us do have resting bitch faces, you know. I've been drinking with DL a few times in a former life, and he was thoroughly affable and easy-going company.

maybe working towards normalising fascism for two different bigoted far right-wing media outlets has taken it's toll on the poor dear.

Ok..

A Tory peer has spent boxing Day going at a 21 yo Leninist. Mad to watch.

Hi Daniel. I think Leninism is invidious. A murderous idea. So I think it worth countering. It’s definitely worth my time.

I don’t regard myself as anything of the sort, Daniel. As someone who suffered under the austerity you helped inflict, who saw people’s lives destroyed & cut short, I’m simply committed to ensuring that can never happen again and for everyone to have a dignified life https://t.co/v8LkyRkdHr

Incredible content from Aaro to round out the year, this.

By the way (and here’s a complication) why is Prince Andrew ‘privileged’ over, say, me, when I envy nothing about his life or upbringing?

— David Aaronovitch (@DAaronovitch) December 30, 2021

As a person paid to write for a living why would he understand what words mean?

it's tough at the top, eh? what a fuckwit. when he had a regular 10 minute opinion slot on R4 he said that women that talk about the inequities of western patriarchal society need to grow up because "they sound like students". Total fucking dickhead.

I see Giles Coren is at it again

I am not surprised. Most people who report on politics in this country do not understand the subject, lacking the Marxist training which I had in my distant youth. They call Sir Keir ‘moderate’ because he is not Jeremy Corbyn. A fat lot they know.

Jeremy Corbyn is, of course, a wild Leftist, a man of clenched-fist salutes, street protests and red banners who probably dreams of storming Buckingham Palace at the head of a detachment of Red Guards.

But he is one of the obvious, old-fashioned sort, steam-powered, coal-fired. You can see him a mile off and defeat him with ease. Sir Keir is much more dangerous. His fanaticism is as smooth as the moisturiser he applies daily to his handsome face. It is designed for the age of the internet.

P Hitchens in 2020 on Starmer. I don't why he's linked to it today other than he thinks it is a very prescient observation that has aged very well. At least he is funny like a clown.

That quote can't be real I must be hallucinating it.

"Corbyn was so easy to defeat" -- actually he has been far nearer having power than Starmer. He'd be shitting himself if Corbyn was still leader. The argument for re-nationalisation would be overwhelming.

The political class is very lucky that Corbyn had the EU problem to deal with.
