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 ā€˜I like the long eveningsā€™. 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

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 theyā€™re using you for though.

mardheamac (gyac), Monday, 29 November 2021 17:35 (two years ago) link

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!"

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:

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.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 29 November 2021 18:09 (two years ago) link

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



This is really desperate stuff, sniffily dismissing anti-racism as a ā€œpet causeā€ and implying you would need to ā€œzealously monitorā€ Jonesā€™s output to know what the spectator is. There is just no substance to these people

Nu-panique schnizzle (wins), Monday, 29 November 2021 18:23 (two years ago) link

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.

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.

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.

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 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 ā€˜moderateā€™ 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.

calzino, Sunday, 6 February 2022 09:06 (two years ago) link

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

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 6 February 2022 09:28 (two years ago) link

"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.

xyzzzz__, Sunday, 6 February 2022 09:32 (two years ago) link

also that he was only a thousand + votes away from forming a minority government in 2017 is something that seems to have completely bypassed the Hitch brane. But I think he's going senile tbh.

calzino, Sunday, 6 February 2022 09:36 (two years ago) link

Really amused that Peter H thinks men applying moisturiser is some kind of tell in 2022.
