Replacement theory. The Nazis, and for that matter Ceaucescu, were quite keen on promoting patriotic fucking. In the latter case one of the things leading to those orphanages.

This'll be the Tom Harwood currently advertising biscuits, yes?

Gammon Broadcasting News (“Bacon’s News Channel”), has been splashing the cash in order to assemble a singularly unappealing roster of generally right-leaning hosts and pundits

Now, I wouldn't necessarily have used that epithet against Simon McCoy myself?

Those matters aside; surely a gradual reduction in planetary population is a good thing?

Around a million people of working age have left the UK since 2016. But not sufficient enough connections to the Aryan race for Tom’s liking.

Well, we live and learn. See also Neil Oliver.

Note what Harwood actually says.

Developed countries, where the white people live, are facing population decline and attendant problems.

Other countries - the ones where the black, brown and yellow people live, are experiencing population growth.

It's about white supremacy on a global scale.

I'm waiting for the bit where Adrian Edmonstone whacks him on the noggin with a cricket bat.

I only watched a few mins, skipped for another few, then another few.

Never ceases to amaze how dumb some clever people are. There is so much conceit here.

Edit: was a little hasty and hard. He says a few things that make sense, in a very general way. Everyone can be bad. History is not properly about pride or shame.

But he's talking to a regurgitating Sun journo who's asking if teachers the medja are to blame for putting us all in gulags, and he's not critiquing any of it. It's simultaneously informed and also bizarrely naieve.

And it's so tedious.

URGH, yeah, maybe I wasn't too hard on him...

Watched Neil Oliver presenting a gripping series on BBC4 about the Scottish clan wars. It reminded me of a fascinating documentary on CH4 about sign language development with Noam Chomsky. The connection being that academics can be like pub chain owners who should stay in their wheelhouse and stop embarrassing themselves as political pundits.

I see it as a symptom of the need to fill space, which combined with a) a lack of actual reporting resources, and b) a desire for controversy to fuel ratings, means that producers will just get anyone the viewer may have heard of on. Hence you get the surreal scene last year of former model Caprice debating lockdown policy with an actual epidemiologist.

While it's true that many smart people have expertise in more than one area, it's also true that many famous people have expertise in none.

I believe that in the common parlance that's

There’s a difference between Neil Oliver on rentaquote speed dial and celebs who are campaigners or know their subject; Hugh Grant on press intrusion or Patrick Kielty and the NI conflict for example.

[Andy McDandy]

Oh absolutely. But for every stalwart trouper of stage and screen who paid their dues and came up the hard way (TM), there's an out of touch luvvie with their head in the clouds and no idea about the real world (TM). All about perspective.

[The Red Arrow]

Dunno where to leave this, might fit in here...

What's that sound like hundreds of gammon spurting tea all over their devices I can hear?
