Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

Rod Liddle

A teenage girl, a maths teacher and a righteous tabloid fury

From magazine issue:

Why I went east
THE

SPECTATOR

I never found out because the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids. It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there, on day one. We're talking secondary school level here, by the way and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called. I just thought we ought to clear that up early on. At my old comprehensive school a few teachers were known to be schtupping the pupils; one of them, a female teacher who was extremely foxy in a Pot Noodle scuzzy kind of way she copped off with some fifth-form lad, and another teacher (a man with a guitar and aGuardian

Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography?

I wanted to look at some pictures of child pornography from the internet this week and then tell you all about them, but I couldn'tHow absurd the law is. But at least it is an appropriate reflection of our collective neurosis and confusion about paedophilia generally. The one laudable and necessary aim - to protect children from abuse - has become warped by our consuming, obsessive hatred for those who find children sexually attractive. There is no causal link between viewing child porn and abusing children. And even if there were, it would not be sufficient, within the philosophy of our judicial system, to simply assume that an unpleasant penchant for the former

The GCs are uniting in their grief over Rod Liddle's death, a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend and said he couldn't be a teacher because he'd rape the kids. He was also a vicious racist, long before it was so profitable. He hated trans people, so, to these 'feminists' he's a hero.

We just lost someone I would never in a million years have been expected to be friends with, or probably even to have made peace with... 
A larger than life 'Marmite' character, controversial, sometimes infuriating, but terribly witty, sharp and fun.
And capable of extreme

Gutted about Rod Liddle, he was a great man. I take huge pride in having been regular contributor to his show, and I appreciated his support for my writing very much. I know full well what the online sisterhood think about this but I don't care in the slightest.

Oh no! I really liked Rod, had a drink with him a couple of times, and did his show every month. He was always so kind about my work, and we had a total laugh every time I was on the programme. Awful news.

I don’t need to acknowledge the opinions of those who don’t care autistic and learning disabled people were given do not resuscitate orders during the height of covid.

All I’ll say about this COVID revisionism from The Sensibles is they conveniently forget 227’000+ died in the UK. Every iota of that statistic was someone with family, friends, dreams, and a life (no matter how long or short) abruptly ended due to shocking incompetence and corruption from the state

covid is important because it was a concrete lesson in how far the state would go to protect its citizens (not very far), and which populations it was willing to sacrifice in order to prop up business owners (the elderly, disabled, health workers and every part of the informal economy)

What if capitalist social relations forced us into false binaries we wouldn’t have to choose between if we actually sought to change the system itself?! What then?! Also, don’t make Covid the ‘Brexit of Education’. It’s been a long time since educational success led to social mobility.

(I get that Bluesky is very obviously the Wow We Loved Lockdowns website but I think it's absolutely fine, five years after the fact, to wonder if we got the balance right between
"protecting older people" and "making sure younger people weren't getting entirely shafted", arguments are allowed)

it’s all so fucking stupid, these people believe everything is a zero sum game, and the only way to improve outcomes for one group is to make it worse for another, when the actual answer is always “why didn’t we do the thing that is better for everyone”

Sensibles love to bullshit themselves that their both siding & just asking questions is some kind of ideology free neutral truth seeking. But we've seen exactly how this plays out for eg immigrants, the racialised, & trans people: every time, it strengthens the hand of far right crackpots

yeah l'm already getting replies defending lockdowns as a concept when that's obviously not what I was getting at -a lot of people out there with a fully black or white thinking on the issue, it's really frustrating because....e may get another pandemic in our lifetime! it's good to discuss this!

Question for Amnesty. Trans rights have regressed in the UK. That’s undeniable. The organisations you are apologising to have celebrated these rights being eroded. Are you really that weak that you can’t in good faith defend calling them anti-rights? Because they very clearly fucking are.
