I see Rod Liddle has died.
Frances Ryan@francesryan.bsky.social · 2d agoAs 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.

Oh. This is a very bad one indeed. Glen Hansard being the kind of thing you point to (with pride) when people ask you to show them an example of being Irish.
