British Right-Wing Pundits

can't get over this photo of Peter Hitchens from 1969

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!

I could imagine a grizzled + ageing (i.e. looking past getting ID'ed) Owen Jones being more right wing than Hitchens in the future.

Long hair and sideburns, but still looks like an arrogant twat who knows what's good for you.

Having that smug type of countenance that silently says "your'e wrong and I'm right you fucking pleb!" is probably quite a burden! Or is it something you just naturally grow into?

I listen to Radio 3, and occasionally they get this cunt on to talk. Here's your smug patrician countenance:

As if Anne McElvoy on Free Thinking wasn't bad enough.

I am ashamed to admit I was once in a lift with that cunt and didn't stab him. Not that I had a knife on me at the time.

that's truly a horrible old england face

Think I've come around to Peter Hitchens a little in so much as I still think he's wrong about almost everything, but is at least operating from what appears to be sincerely held beliefs and is at least courteous (if not respectful) to his opponents (which seems to be basically everyone)

On the other hand my dislike of Matthew Parris, who seems to be treated as one of the good uns, knows no bounds.

Man alive...

Beyond The Facts

I am not sure JRM is especially conservative. https://t.co/qVNsEvCETC

As you must be aware, true conservatism is now the counter culture, so you and Rees-Mogg are slowly gaining rockstar status here in the US

This Paperchase pearl-clutching is all very amusing

Day 1 of the RW Columnist Paperchase anti boycott boycott. Rod Liddle has had to burn all of his tropical fruit scented pens. His hair smells of molten plastic & mango. Tim Montgomerie is suspected of owning a cactus print A5 academic year planner & is hung as a witch.

— Then he went 'eurgh it's me really' & stabbed me (@Scriblit) November 21, 2017

Quite an amusing New Statesman article yesterday pointing out that Paperchase presumably know their customers and in any case *this is how the free market they usually love so much is supposed to work*. But I suspect most of this is primal fear of more advertisers following suit and their columns/paycheques disappearing.

the hypocrisy would be breathtaking if I hadn't lived with it for 40 years

I'd find this all more amusing if I didn't know its all going to kill the conversational vibe at family Xmas dinner this year.

when you reveal your wrapping paper was from Paperchase?

when you reveal your wrapping paper is the Daily Mail?

when you reveal your rapping granny is chasing paper?

when you reveal paper granny wrapping frozen elsa pregnant spider man?

fped you all FYI

British journalism is in a healthy state I see.

the envy of the world

Coren counts as a right-wing pundit, no? literally can't imagine a less appealing front page splash than this:

Jfc. Coren's insufferable.

Another one of those "writers" making money over their baby's back.

*dad's

aye

yeah he's the one thing that puts me off marrying Victoria

He's a troll. That's all he is. On some level he must know it, and I hope it causes him deep, profound and insurmountable displeasure.

ha, I always thought he came across as oddly thin-skinned and hurt by criticism for someone whose whole schtick is trolling? I sometimes get the impression that he is someone who genuinely has these thoughts and opinions that he knows are considered beyond the pale and is troubled by this, so he tries to exorcise the anxiety by expressing the thoughts/opinions in a faux-trolly way, but his heart is not really in it - imo Coren doesn't actually enjoys riling Libs a la Rod Liddle or Toby Young, he wants to be liked too much.

giles coren is so london

every generation gets the samuel pepys it deserves

giles coren is so london

this is slanderous upon London imo

manchester offers ample scope for a reprisal tbf

"giles coren is so london" is so manchester

nowadays I suppose Samuel Pepys would be regarded as sexual harassment in our politically correct Airstrip One

lol at the idea that London isn't Ground Zero for this particular type of cunt tho

tru

North London tbf

where else could forge a giles coren

xp very, very tru :D

enjoy wembley btw ;_____;

where else could forge a giles coren

Oxford, where he studied?

i'd never have imagined such a paragon of london-awfulness might have gone to oxford
