This edition is a bit meta. Consider it a sequel to yesterday's Rod Liddle obituary.

The "in real life" part suggests that his career nastiness was just a persona. I'm reminded of Vonnegut's "Mother Night" - "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."
Western Sahara is not 'disputed', most of the country is occupied by Morocco which invaded its southern neighbour in 1976. Morocco has blocked the UN-run referendum agreed in the 1991 armistice ever since. With support especially from USA & France, and now also from EU and UK. War restarted 2020.

Rod Liddle played the politics of hatred - we should be honest about his legacy
Tributes praised a 'great journalist', but very few touched on the fact that he was also a racist, a bigot and an Islamophobe

To be fair, Liddle waded in so much shit that cleaning his boots would be a highly skilled professional job.
I know she's incapable of ever admitting she's wrong about anything, but even I'm surprised that Kemi Badenoch has chosen this particular hill to die on
Can confirm that @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social ’s Left Wing agitations followed me home, knocked on my door, woke the kids and forced me to buy his (excellent) book.

To put this in terms the Telegraph normally feels more at home with: Workshy scrounger invites WHOLE FAMILY to my dinner party, expecting ME to pay for his failures in providing for his own family.

Guys, The Telegraph are at home crying into their gilets that you pointed out correctly their dead friend Rod Liddle was a wife beating racist self confessed paedophile, I hope you're proud of yourselves

Congrats to everyone who got a shoutout in the Telegraph today, although I don't know where they got the idea that Bluesky is a place where people are kind to each other. This is site is not kind. This is a PvP server where you get randomly matched with an American who has misunderstood your joke.

@paulduane.bsky.social's Barbaric Genius, a film about John Healy - the vagrant turned memoirist turned international chess whizz - is one of my favourite documentaries of all time. It's having a rare full screening at the IFI in Dublin on Monday 17th August. You should go!! ifi.ie/film/from-th...

“All they know about Rod is what they’ve read about him. Which is a series of despicable beliefs and actions he proudly reported voluntarily.”
It's always been this. The pig people are talking back! That's 100% of it, and the change is really that they're just not lying about it any more.
Mic Wright@brokenbottleboy.bsky.social · 13h agoWhat’s amazing about the Telegraph crew is how thin their pretence of believing in ‘free speech’ really is.
It’s sometimes hard to follow the complex web of leftist networks, so I’ll try to keep it simple when I say that the ‘Be Kind Mob’ is a breakaway tendency that formed in 2024 when the Real Anti-Bedtime Left had a falling out with Hoonists4Peace over the design of their mascot

Brb, just making you a "left-wing agitator with a book to flog" t-shirt to match my "fairly outspoken left-wing academic" one.
"Liddle's work"? As if he'd written 'A la recherche du temps perdu' rather than a selection of bigoted middle aged rants.
And how unequivocally willing they are to declare someone whose whole schtick was almost literally doing the "Price is Right racism dial" meme to be an insightful genius.

A great obituary, the eulogies for him from the media class condemn themselves.

I saw someone walking a strange dog in the distance. It took me longer than it should to realise they were wheeling a grey Henry the Hoover.
