British Right-Wing Pundits

A pile of free copies of The Critic has started to appear every month in the reception area of my work. Usual names on the usual themes. Woke agenda in universities/BBC/civil service. What is wrong with being elitist? Diary pieces that begin "To the theatre..." Cartoons of men on desert islands. Is there a bottomless well of this stuff? Like someone saw a gap in the market between The Oldie and The Spectator, to fill with more mid-brow right-wing STUFF, printed on paper with a nice cover. Who buys it? Who funds it?

Who buys it? maybe those who think of Private Eye as too woke thesedays...

lmao at "Cartoons of men on desert islands."

isn't the Critic funded by Jeremy Hosking? With the money he had left over after giving millions to Laurence Fox and Andrew Bridgen.

it always seems to me that the cartoons in the Spectator are better than the cartoons in Private Eye despite a lot of them being by the same cartoonists - I always wondered how many of the cartoons that appear in the Eye are ones that the Spectator has already rejected? Do cartoonists save their best stuff for the Spectator because they know the Eye's standards are lower?
