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

Even I am taken aback at the new and surprising ways these people find to insult the public’s intelligence and make it more clear the only operative professional standard in force is “LOL fuck you”

Badenoch said: "So I want to be very clear, and I think people can look at me and know that I'm not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis to the Conservative Party. "Joshua Bonehill-Paine is someone who actually has been certified by the Home Office to train police officers on anti-Semitism and on countering extremism. "Yes, he is somebody who had been previously convicted for this, but he is someone has shown contrition for his crimes, has been rehabilitated and is spending every day working to solve the very problem which he knew he had caused previously. "He's going up and down the country training people and the Conservative Party believes in second chances. "This is not just someone that we've picked up who's a convicted criminal, this is somebody who is actively working to help communities, especially Jewish communities and this is what I want to see. "I want second chances for people, for people who've learned their lessons, for people who are showing that they know what they did was wrong. "What I don't want to see is early release of people who have no contrition whatsoever, who don't care, and who are going to be out on the streets actually harming people.

I remember one time when some journo cunt died (who had literally killed his fucking wife) and all the other journo cunts on twitter started eulogising him like he was a great and lovely man, even when it was pointed out he had killed his wife. Now to check the reaction to Rod Liddle dying

“We’ve recruited a Nazi who is well qualified to teach the police about combating extremism and antisemitism” is maybe the most 2020s British politics sentence I have seen so far this decade

Rod Liddle nearly got the Spectator prosecuted for contempt of court for saying the trial of two of Stephen Lawrence’s murderers would not be fair. They were convicted. The Spectator was fined £3000 a fraction of their annual garden party drinks bill I bet.

In November 2011, Liddle wrote a Spectator article that claimed the trial of two men accused - and later convicted — of murdering Stephen Lawrence would not be fair. The piece was referred to the Attorney General by the judge in the case for possible contempt of court. The Spectator was prosecuted for breaching reporting restrictions and plead guilty, paying a £3,000 fine, £2,000 in compensation to Stephen Lawrence's parents, and £625 in costs. Liddle sailed on unaffected.

The Mail, call him 'brilliantly funny'. Kemi Badenoch calls his death 'heartbreaking' John Humphries calls him 'wonderful to work with'. Editor of Sunday Times says he had a 'wonderful way with words'. He wrote he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" if he was a teacher

This “more old and/or disabled people should’ve died of Covid so young people didn’t suffer as much” is real Thatcher “there’s no such thing as society” wrapped up in therapy speak. Really grim stuff from some millennials. Thatcher would’ve been proud

The British Press: “He was simply an inimitable wit and raconteur, who lit up the pages with his silver-tongued prose.” The raconteur in question: “I am a paedophile.”

as we saw with Charlie Kirk it’s extremely notable that no fans of Rod Liddle include any of their favourite quotes from him in their tributes

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?
