That's not right, I work for the Mail on Sunday

You work for the mail and you work one day a week.

I think he’s trapped himself on a bitter, hateful rag churning out sub Alf Garnet rants for pennies to pensioners and bigots, because they’re the only people left who see him as some sort of intellectual.

Trailblazing rentagammon Jon Gaunt said his audience were people who thought Peter Hitchens was a weirdo but liked the views. At least Hitchens still has paid gigs. Life’s become too serious for Gaunty or Ferrari’s callers to worry about the NT’s woke stately homes.

Looks like we have a soapbox for Peter to denigrate those not worthy, i.e those that ask questions that brings his “intellect” into question

What, like any questions on University Challenge that aren't about who wrote what book or what's the capital of Tanganyika?

Stumped on that one, there must be something I’d like to ask Peter Hitchens. Seems not.

How can you believe in an ever bountiful god when your brother obviously inherited all the family brains?

Hitchens disapproves of Nick Robinson interviewing Sunak ("the King's first minister") in - horror of horrors - an open necked shirt. Whatever next? Asking him difficult questions? Holding him to account? Also, Robinson has some stubble. Ha ha, he looks like a tramp. Does he work for the Big Issue?

Just to remind you, Hitchens regularly and repeatedly refers to a former prime minister as "the Blair creature", effectively dehumanising him.

Anyway, he thinks the election is all sewn up because the BBC has said so. Apparently they pay far too much attention to polls, rather than what the country thinks.

In another bit of crap, he has a comedy moment with a computer going all sorcerer's apprentice on him in that manner which only afflicts bored journalists and sitcom characters. Except it doesn't, and he's not awash with unwanted milk, because someone fixed it. Thus proving all technology is rubbish.

A stubble faced Boris Johnson has also been taunted for looking like a tramp who lives in a hedge. That’s because he does.

[Rosvanian]

The legions of whiny right wing gobshites are completely losing their shit over the BBC at the moment but how these people think they are in a position to judge bias is anyone's guess.

If the media is leftist, how come Farage gets more airtime than every other minor party leader combined, why is Katharine Birbalsingh the only headteacher ever quoted anywhere and where's the demands to sack Sharron Davies?

Hitchens beard isn’t much to write home about.

We've not heard much from Pete lately but he's found some new moral high ground to occupy in his endless fight against those dastardly liberals and lefties who destroyed the beloved England of his youth:

I can imagine Mad Mel jumping on board with this as well.

[davidjay]

What was the point of that?

[Bones McCoy]

What was the point of that?

Think of all the jobs for stock's keepers, hangmen and gibbet makers.


The idea that prisons were developed by liberals is easily disprovable bollocks.
We have written records of lords, kings and emperors maintaining extensive dungeons and jails.
All long before the liberals took residence inside dull Pete's head.

King Minos maintained his labyrinth 4,000 years ago.
I don't recall Minos aligning with Hobbes, Spinoza and Voltaire.

Half a dozen paragraphs of ramblings about pre Beeching railways could be bolted onto any article to fill space.

Proper ink pens and joined up handwriting in primary schools.

That was a fucking absurdly long bit of waffling to attempt to hide the fact he'd like to see people beaten and killed as soon as convicted, regardless of appeals and the small matter of potential innocence.
