i took a look in that freebie of the Sun that they put out last week
the editorial said some guff about "loving your country used to be thought of as racist but not any more"
then every other page was full of snide little digs at other countries including a whole column of Liddle doing his "jungle starts at Calais" shtick
fuck every last one of them imo
― Kevin from Blechgium (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 22 June 2014 15:17 (nine years ago) link
There was some p. amazing trolling in that free Sun column, like a bit in the middle about "oh hey I'm just gonna use the words Britain and England interchangeably because that's what Britain is all about to me" just dropped in all casual-like
also a bit about how terrible it would be to live in Belgium, which distracted me from the rest of the article because I was too busy thinking "sounds p. good to me apart from the unpronounceable language"
anyway I was embarrassed that this got shoved through the doors of all the flats in this block as half of my neighbours are, y'know, not English

Dutch is closely related to English, or do you mean French?

I wonder if they bothered to deliver their garbage a mile down the road from me where the racial presence is about 90% non-white? The usual Ron Liddle bile + unrealistic jingoist crap about crap england team. No doubt most of that worthless shit was being used to line cat-litter trays within minutes.

I feel kind of sad about Dale Winton's unexpected heel turn. or had he shown inclinations of this sort on previous occasions, and they'd passed me by?

I'm guessing a celeb of Winton's stature hasn't lived in the real world for a very very long time.

Oborne? Is he still alive?
― Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Thursday, 26 May 2016 10:07 (seven years ago) link
Yiannopoulos is US-centric these days? That might explain why he's 10 times more popular than, er, Melanie Phillips.
― Larry 'Leg' Smith (Tom D.), Thursday, 26 May 2016 10:08 (seven years ago) link
Oborne came out strongly against Goldsmith recently.
Parris is one of the more sensible ones, though presumably considered a bit wet, and Hitchens seems to be winning friends on both sides atm.

Hitchens was on R4 last night, talking about his SWP days and his path to enlightenment.

oh it's true, Oborne has written some fairly decent things in vague memory. i'm sure he's also said some horrid things too but that's the nature of it

he seems to cleave to a sort of Peter Mannion-esque old-fashioned-Tory-decency shtick

just clicked that link to Hitchens' twitter feed, and saw this interchange (under his pinned tweet), ice cold:

His campaign for real Conservatism, the crusade against cannabis and for the restoration of the death penalty. They were just little acorns of thought in his mind at this point.

He makes me lol so much when refers to Blair as a Marxist. I mean you'd think someone who used to dress like that would know a Marxist when he sees one!
