Just went on Spiked for the first time in many years. It's almost sweet the way the layout has made no concession to the last 5-10 years of progress in web design. It rigidly and steadfastly takes up the left-hand 45% of my modest monitor. Is it symbolically clinging to the left? who knows!

hi sir
is it that they're taught conflicting disciplines of empathy to all and crude managementkult self-actualisation in their formative years and can only find resolution through picking fights with strawman nannystaters against whom they seem (to themselves) bastions of free thought and levity
because that, as they say, is having your cake and fucking it too

That is what modern Leftists think of the masses – that they’re cruel, dishonest, immoral, violent, and apparently these tendencies must be tamed by depriving the oiks of their daily fix of tabloid titillation. This is the true story behind the modern Left’s enthusiasm for more state interference in the world of ideas and news: the Left once believed in people; now it despises them.

If Morrissey's autobiography is crap, how will Penguin recover from having released it as a classic? Actually, even if it's good, still some very serious questions will have to be asked about Penguin's ability to be the gatekeeper of the best of human knowledge and writing when it is willing to publish a pop star's musings alongside the greatest literature of all time. Penguin is effectively using the word classic in the same way young people now use it – not to mean a work of art of recognised and substantial value, but rather to mean "wicked, dude".

Independent going in hard on this too.
. How do you wreck overnight the reputation of a global brand that, since 1946, has built up its worldwide trust on the basis of consistent excellence, expert selection and a commitment to pick and sell only the very best? Easy, really. You chuck 67 years of editorial rigour and learning out of the corporate window and kowtow to the whims of a petulant pop icon.
Though without the dated youth speak.

That is a Modern Classic, rather than a Classic.

i thought Moz is going in Modern Classics? either way, one could argue that a section of both lists is the pulp/genre fiction of its day, lent dignity with time
― I like to tackle hard and am crazy (Noodle Vague), Monday, 14 October 2013 10:55 (ten years ago) link
It's going to be a black-jacketed Classic according to Penguin's website. There's tonnes of pulp stuff on both lists but they're mostly notable / important books, even if they are't, strictly speaking, any good. It's bad brand management, i think, but it will probably boost the Classic imprint's revenues about 1000% this year.
― Inte Regina Lund eller nån, mitt namn är (ShariVari), Monday, 14 October 2013 11:00 (ten years ago) link
it is bad brand management but i never have to own it, so.
it wd be less bad brand management if Morrissey was half the writer his devotees think he is.

Yes, i'm just annoyed that it puts paid to my plan to own every Penguin Classic ever printed.

Have noticed a female journalist (don't know her name) from Spiked has been popping on telly lately, just saw her discussing International Women's Day on Sky News... I think you can guess what she thinks of it, in fact you could probably guess at every single word that comes out of her mouth.

tbh she was thrown when the Sky presenter pointed out that not every woman in the world lives in Zone 1 (some live in Zone 4), paraphrasing somewhat there. Not very impressive all round.
