Ex-PM Starmer said, in response to Raise the Colours terrorising people, ‘I am supporter of flags’, ‘I’m very encouraging of flags. I think they’re patriotic and I think they’re a great symbol of our nation’ and his family had ‘got St George’s flag in our flat’ www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

I remember this, it’s John Kay, who drowned his wife then drove head-on into a bridge to plead ‘diminished capacity’. The Sun kept a position open for him while he was committed, then in their obit called him ‘the greatest journalist of his generation’ and ‘everybody's mate’

Let’s just say that this phenomenon - Labour people being racially abused by Nazis, and that abuse then being dishonestly presented to the public in a manner intended to make them believe it was done by left wing colleagues - is not an isolated incident.

Incredible shit here: the guy Badenoch is defending was sent to prison for sending racist abuse to the MP Luciana Berger. Who then did a whole series of interviews and columns talking about her criminal harassment by Nazis, in a manner intended to make listeners believe it was done by Labour members

"Others were afraid to confess that they have a carnal, irrepressible sexual attraction to children, or call for child pornography to be legalised. Not 'playful genius' Rod. Like a paedophile Neil Armstrong, he took one giant leap for noncekind every time he submitted his brave columns."

After spending years dehumanising and vilifying Trans+ people unchallenged, the BBC has now started the "Are there too many Black and Brown people working in the NHS?" thing

"There's a real thing going on in the composition of the staff...does that not have to be looked at as well?" Nick Robinson, on Today, discussing this news.sky.com/story/nhs-st...

If you're worried about the willingness of people to publicly say nasty things to an audience of a few thousand on the internet maybe you should have said something to your mate who wrote abhorrent things in his weekly column read by 100,000s whilst he was alive?

What more fitting way to remember Rod Liddle’s life and work than by making nasty jokes about someone who can’t answer back

It might not have been a response you considered helpful or whatever, but Polanski literally called for a COBRA meeting on the current climate impact 3 days ago

The UK commentariat and political class are almost exclusively a wealthy, politically powerful and insular group, many of whom landowners/landlords, and almost every last one of them despises the working class, minorities, migrants, queer people, and disabled people. That’s why they love Rod Liddle

As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Rod Liddle vilifies disabled people. I’m tired of the hate. We all should be | Frances RyanWhether it is ME patients or another target, huge swathes of the media have normalised hatred of minorities for years, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryanwww.theguardian.com

Abhorrent but unsurprising to see the ‘defend women and girls’ crowd eulogising a man who - in between proudly espousing his racism, ableism & myriad other bigotries in print - punched his pregnant girlfriend & wrote that he couldn’t be a teacher because he would try to have sex with the pupils

That's insane. Journalists should only ever be the politician they're questioning's spouse or friend from Eton or an in-law or someone they met through a mutual friend at the Spectator garden party or a former minister or a fellow columnist at the same paper. But never an advisor that's too corrupt.
