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:

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.

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.

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

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.
― "Taste's very strange!" (stevie), Tuesday, 12 December 2017 12:09 (six years ago) link
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.
