Don’t be silly, he was deadly serious when he said Glastonbury should be nuked 🙄tallboy said:cantersaddick said:
I dont read that horrendous hate filled far right conspiracy rag, but was sent a screenshot of the opening paragraph. He actually suggests a small Nuke similar to those used in WW2 be used on Glasto and a couple of other places to "rid the country" of people who annoy him.Chizz said:
If you dont read it how do you know its a "hate filled far right conspiracy rag,"?
You really need to attribute less gravity and seriousness to Rod Liddles written words. He is a polemicist, you dont look to him for well reasoned, thought out, balanced debate but should instead expect a bit of shock, outrage and humour. I think what he writes is mostly funny and he rightly ridicules many subjects across the political spectrum. If the readers and targets of his "hurty words" get offended then thats their problem and they need to develop more resilience. If they dont grow thicker skins and claim they are outraged then I'm sure Rod Liddle will find a lot more else to upset them mainly because they are such an easy target and witnessing their outrage is in itself an amusing spectacle.7 -
Trouble is, far too many right wing, hate filled, less educated people take his, Farridge's, Yaxley-Lennon's, Littlejohn's etc spoutings with gravity and seriousness, and repeat and re-post it on social media and honk about it down the pub all the flippin' time.tallboy said:cantersaddick said:

Its a fairly well known rag thats been around for a while. It basically self promotes as the furthest right actual publication (most things further right are just nut jobs writing online blogs). Its promoted conspiracy theory for years. One recently I saw they were promoting was that the government is controlling the weather. Doesn't take much awareness of the UK press to know what that rag is about.tallboy said:cantersaddick said:

As for RL I put zero weight on what he says but its clear in this instance that what he wrote in that article is objectively worse than the chant at Glasto that prompted it.10 -
Isn't the article based on hurty words from the man pictured? Also wasn't their Hillsborough report some what of a right wing conspiracy?tallboy said:cantersaddick said:

It's a great publication, goes great with the cat litter. Mind you similar could be said for the rest of them.

Is it not the same as the chant at Glastonbury, both calling for people to die?cantersaddick said:

Why is what happened again Glastonbury not as bad?5 -

Why is what happened again Glastonbury not as bad?
1) who the target is - all festival goers (and all residents of Brighton) vs members of an organisation found guilty of many many war crimes
2) the likelihood of its target audience to actually come into contact with the people that are being called for to die. His audience are much more likely to meet someone who went to Glasto (or even who was at that stage that night) than someone in that crowd is to meet a member of the IDF.
Point 2 is a key one in UK law around inciting violence. Its why Bob Vylan probably wont be found guilty whereas people suggesting violent mobs of rioters already gathering should target local specific hotels where migrants are staying, ended up pleading guilty.15 - Sponsored links:

Like many others, I thoroughly enjoy Rod Liddle's amusing articles, and enjoy the newspaper he writes in (although I tend towards The Telegraph midweek and Saturday).
Great read.3 -

Rod Liddle must think his time has come. Unfortunately it's fast becoming one of the very worst times in modern history, whatever your political persuasion. And, of course he supports f***ing Millwall!1

We're in the age of freedom of expression. So Liddle should be allowed to print whatever he wants to.
Equally, we should be allowed to read what he says. And to make up our own minds as to what type of person he is.

Rod Liddle rhymes with piddle.
Enough said.
Please close the thread!2 -
If Pascal Robinson-Foster - AKA Bob Vylan - were given a gun and presented with shackled members of the IDF and told. 'Go ahead, kill them, no-one will ever know it was you'. Would he?
If Rod Liddle were put aboard a plane with a nuclear warhead that would be dropped on the crowd watching 'Bob Vylan' on his command and told 'no-one will ever know it was you.' would he?
Nah, it's all gutless, attention seeking narcissism and an affront to those truly affected by a war that no-one wants.7 -

Does he think he's channelling Jonathan swift with "a modest proposal" or is he just stirring. Can't be bothered to read his article to decide...0

If you did read the article you would know that his target is the BBC (an organisation he knows well) He condemns the BBC for not recognising the nature of what was being stated in Bob Vylans stage performance and for being blinded by their own entrenched set of beliefs into thinking it was all just "top bants". On his own initial (outrageous) statement of bombing the Glastonbury crowd he writes:McBobbin said:Does he think he's channelling Jonathan swift with "a modest proposal" or is he just stirring. Can't be bothered to read his article to decide...
"I am not saying that we should do this, of course - it would be a horrible, psychopathic thing to do. I am merely hypothesising, in a slightly wistful kinda way."
So, he proposes the unthinkable (bombing the Glastonbury crowd), dismisses this as 'psychopathic', asks where the line is on free speech and what should be done if it's thought the line of what is deemed acceptable is being crossed. He then challenges the BBCs ability to identify that line and how it is out of step with the mainstream view of the British public.
A provocative, entertaining article that gets the reader to think and question the subject.

So which right wing party would you vote for? The Tories support corporations fucking us and Reform want them to run the NHS?SporadicAddick said:
(For the record, Labour also appear to support corporations fucking us - but maybe just not quite as hard?).5 -
Except none of that is true sbout the BBC. They didn't show other acts at Glastonbury for risk of this kind of thing. They immediately said they made a mistake in showing it and in not pulling it as the chants started and have said they will review their risk assessments.tallboy said:

So your/his main premise that the bbc were "blinded by their own entrenched set of beliefs into thinking it was all just "top bants"." Is clearly a pile of crap.4 -

Well of course I have the opportunity to not vote for anyone...
But at the moment I'm looking forward to a Conservative return to government in 4 years time, unless Keir implodes earlier - as we know, stranger things have happened.3 -
