spiked - the independent online phenomenon

sorry for self-posting but it really is too easy

Hi @spikedonline Brendan O'Neill has a grotesquely distended forehead and also has bad opinions, do not block me as this is a free speech issue

lol

silenced4truth

I specifically told them NOT to block me, because free speech, and now look what has happened

Now you could say there are quite a lot of people living in his grotesquely distended forehead, rent free.

LOLz even though I kind of hate that this arse is famous enough to have the pish ripped out of him online.

I want to see him getting shamed about his appearance so hard that he is reduced to wearing a ridiculous bowler hat or a mark knopfler head band on the BBC or sky news!

Head band? He'd need a cummerbund.

How about setting up Gary Glitter to head a commission on child abuse next!

Extraordinary thread on how many cut-outs they have.

Spiked… idk, I'm always surprised it's still going - still chugging along, still pretending to be quite serious, still publishing 3rd rate cultural crit + ooh-contrary LM challops by men in glasses; no-one ever notices, though, from what I can see - maybe I move in the wrong bit of the internet, but no-one seems to give 1 sol. shit about them. What an odd place.

Is that actually real though or some fake Twitter shite?

Since when has Brendan O'Neill ever criticized Communists? That doesn't fit the Furedi narrative.

yeah probably fake, but he will write a dog-fighting piece at some point.

am all for Brendan getting naked in a barn and going toe to paw with a couple of half-starved Rotties

Brendan O'Neill is ridiculous enough as it is, so why so these unfunny Twitter cunts feel the need to make up stuff he didn't say?

Oh shit is that a fake?

Second one today.

apologies for sharing it.

I blame Twitter.

well the childish appearance shaming seems to be more effective than the attempts at satire atm! I'm not judging either though, but it's no doubt great that he has been pressured into wearing a hat at zoom chats.

If it is getting under the skin of his freakishly distended dome then it is good satire, who cares if it is childish?

I heartily approve of the giant forehead stuff, the other stuff is pointless and unfunny and it's perpetrators should be shot.

brendan o'neill pretending not to be on twitter - and not personally, obsessively trawling through each and every meme depicting his grotesquely oblong forehead himself - is very funny pic.twitter.com/BUVGuaubX8

"big Irish head"

might be better pretending he's from from Easter Island!

It's anti-Irish racism, you see, that's his only possible line of defence here - except that, through his slavish devotion to the teachings of Chairman Furedi, he's painted himself in a corner and there's really no way out for him. Sweet.

As soon as he, lol, pulls too hard on that thread marked identity politics, as a repressed North London posh 2nd gen Irish white man - big heads matter! Then as well as looking even more ridiculous, his whole world unravels and now it is he who has become the snowflake!

I mean yeah, very enjoyable fun and games, but I'm a little concerned this is coming across as bullying. Shouldn't we be fighting Brendan with facts? ie calling him a cunt?

The fact is he has a grotesquely distorted head.

facts don't care about Brendan's feelings

i have a beautifully shaped head btw
