British Right-Wing Pundits

ah I don't think it's group Liz w/the right-wing pundits, she's clearly far too schizophrenically demented to be closed down like that.

uh, fair to.

Amazing article... I'm forwarding it to my girlfriend right now.

- Jonathan, H-Town, USA, 3/8/2006 22:46

If anybody lives in H-Town could you run over to Jonathan's place and suggest that he not do this?

By the way, I note that this article is from 2006 and the couple broke up again a year later. For good? What is this guy up to now? Oh, this:

"All that is best about India - its tolerance, freedom and engagement with the world - has flourished due to the structures and ideas it inherited from British rule."

He is a source of much amusement.

almost needs her own thread, really

I deplore the decline in morals that allows a man liike this to be potential Prime Minister. Fifty years ago a scandal like this would have ruined him - and rightly so.

This is one more indication of the way this country has descended into the gutter.

Oh god.

Possibly that one was a parody, much LOLs to be had by commenters noting Odone's Good Divorce Guide makes her just a peach of a commenter on this subject.

Godwin's law in action:

I'm sorry but I don't understand how people think this is not a matter of issue.

For me everything stems from a person's beliefs and their commitment to them - ideas underpin all actions.

To take an extreme position: do we think Hitler's internal thoughts about the Jews were broadly rosy or dark and sinister? The industrial death camps were imagined somewhere and the nihilistic morality which justified it was the product West European professors.

Our country is on a destructive spiral downwards because the fundamental beliefs of the people are steadily declining. People are less wholesome, less moral, less humble and less - for want of a better word- spiritual.

I think there is a blatant link between increasing dissatisfaction with our own lives and our country with ideas and beliefs which are ever increasingly: impure, selfish, proud and material.

So how a person behaves, the choices they make - is a product of their fundamental beliefs and morality.

So for me a guy who denigrates by his actions marriage or thinks its ok to get women pregnant and offer them little more than hope is not a man I would consider moral or trustworthy and by extrapolation worthy of high office!

I’d rather people strived to be good and fail occasionally than not even bother in the first place.

xp yeah although one of them goes on to boldly say

Just another example of how awful women can be and why feminism and lesbian feminism have been among the most [self-] destructive movements in recent decades.

My internal thoughts about Cristina Odone are dark and sinister. Soz.

Above commenter showing Godwin's Law in action is obviously Roger Scruton.

I spend so much time getting agitated about Guardian commenters that I forget how vicious and loopy the Telegraph ones can be. There's a rump constituency of immigrant-hating, climate-change-denying, Miliband-is-a-Marxist wingnuts on there, and a lot of the talking points are coming from the US right. It actually makes me miss the clueless Colonel Bufton-Tuftons of old.

Re: Global warming Nuremburg

I hear book burnings are quite good for this.

But that post can't be egregious bollocks, because as the heading to his blog says "James Delingpole is a writer, journalist and broadcaster who is right about everything."

:D

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2011/jan/24/james-delingpole-tv-interview

I don't believe many of his views are sincerely held, or that he has thought deeply about AGW or 'working-class comedy' (harking back to this morning’s nonsense on R4).

Uh, working class comedy?

the mail on sunday was manufacturing outrage over a bbc controller saying they should have more shows in working class settings. allo, allo creator blamed that for his latest not getting commissioned.

lol @ this linked in the comments:

... surely not Jeremy Lloyd!

It was a discussion on Today about whether BBC comedy was too middle class. Delingpole had no useful opinions and just took the opportunity to witter on about the license fee and Hampstead liberal elites as per fucking usual.

xp afraid so: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1349704/BBC-controller-Danny-Cohen-wants-blue-collar-comedy-How-patronising.html

Lollingpole, , advocating setting the people free by not only headquartering businesses in low-tax countries, forcing employees to drop their union memberships and ordering staff to take unreasonable paycuts, but by providing a shitty service and ignoring competition and advertising laws:

One of the greatest advances for personal freedom in the last twenty years was the rise of the low cost airline. Suddenly, thanks to Ryanair, Easyjet and their many imitators, European travel was transformed from the rare luxury of the few into something almost everyone could enjoy, often two or three times a year.

[...]

One of the key tenets of Conservatism is a desire to set people free: free of the shackles of the state, free to forge their own destiny, free to spend their money on as many exciting new opportunities as a burgeoning market is prepared to offer them.

The ideological rot that is destroying English conservatism

N IS FOR… NIGGER

Perfectly acceptable, nay, compulsory if you are a rapper; no longer so if you are Guy Gibson in The Dam Busters (when the 1955 film is shown now, his faithful black dog’s unfortunate name is often bleeped out). Nor even if you are Huckleberry Finn: in a new version of his Adventures, the offending word – used in Mark Twain’s 1884 classic 217 times – was replaced by “slave”.

(when the 1955 film is shown now, his faithful black dog’s unfortunate name is often bleeped out)

probably no surprise to anyone that this isn't true

wish we could put delingpole in a sack and throw him in a river...d is for 'drowning'

Who, thanks to our failing education system's "all shall have prizes" ethos, believe that the world owes them not only a living but also three taxpayer-subsidised years of rutting and drug-taking at university. Tell them it is unaffordable, and they riot around the Cenotaph. This is the generation whose parents were too caring to say "no".

Poor James Delingpole, denied so many opportunities, told "no" so often by his parents :(

It is now many years since I last thought meanly of myself for not having been elected a member of the Buller. But looking at those pictures in the papers this week of Dave Cameron, Boris Johnson and the rest of the '87 gang preening and pouting in full Buller rig did bring it all flooding back to me: the shame, the humiliation and the abject misery I felt the day I realised that I would never be smart, rich, titled, decadent or popular enough to be elected a member of the world's best university's smartest dining society.

Quite.

Amazing insight from the Adam Smith Institute:

In most coffee shops these days, you'll find that the small, medium, and large coffee cups all use the same size lid now, whereas even five years ago they used to have different size lids for the different cups. That small change in the geometry of the cups means that somebody can save a little time in setting up the coffee shop, preparing the cups, getting your coffee, and getting out. Millions of little discoveries like that, combined with some very big discoveries, like the electric motor and antibiotics, have made the quality of life for people today dramatically higher than it was 100 years ago.

And it's people being paid a good living wage to notice and write about these little changes that keeps the world turning...

and, of course, an indenture in the head of the person who designed the cups in the first place for not thinking of it from the off.

That A-Z of Political Correctness and the comments that follow is just beyond belief. Thing is, the people who bang on about PC the most are the rightwingers - lefties really don't give that much of a monkeys about it.

And it doesn’t just happen on this issue but on so many others too. Consider how, for example, the left-liberal bully mob exploited the story about the snogging gay couple turned away from a London pub, or the one about the other gay couple who – quite by accident I’m sure – booked themselves into a Cornish hotel run by ardent Christians who insisted rooms should be shared by married couples only. In both those cases important issues of genuine concern to the wellbeing of our country – how far should minority “rights” be allowed to trump property rights and freedom of choice, for example? – were drowned in a sea of Twitterish name-calling. Anyone who tried putting the counterargument – even someone like me with almost as many gay friends as straight ones – was blithely written off as a homophobe.

This is the kind of moral and intellectual decadence that is leading once free and prosperous nations like Britain and the US into decline and ultimately towards ruination. And what’s really depressing is just how few people are aware of it, let alone fighting it. For example, I noticed several self-described conservatives in the comments below parading just how offended they too were by the NoW’s underhand techniques. Well, yes. Duh! Everyone was, you blithering idiots (except maybe the tabloid hacks and private investigators who were doing of it).

But here’s the thing, while the liberal-left (and its useful idiots on the alleged right, I fear) are busy demonstrating to the world how caring and nice they are, really bad dangerous things are being done in the name of caringness and niceness. I think of the environmental and economic damage which is being done behind a cloak of ecological virtue. [For myriad examples see my new book Watermelons] I think of the suicidal deficit which is being stoked for fear of offending public service workers (who, as we know, are so much more caring and nice and altruistic than anyone in the productive sector of the economy). I think of the freedoms which are being taken away and the unfairnesses codified and the further suicide bombings being invited in the name of being nice and caring to various minorities. I think of the jobs that are being lost and the recovery delayed by a government too scared to lower the tax rate lest it be thought insufficiently caring and nice towards the deserving poor.

Those minorities with their crazy “rights”.

Usually a sounds like a smug troll trying to wind up the left but here he sounds like a bona fide, frothing, Glenn Beckian maniac.

^^ ok so this is some sub taking the piss out of dely p, right?

I worry about him - as DL says he seems to be moving into real crazy territory. He's even having a go at his supporters in the first one.

worry about him in the sense that maybe he won't die in the next 6 months?
