Go James!

James' comment about Harrop is worth the subscription alone

Great article.

This is genius.

I enjoyed that.

OF course, this is the day that I discover that DH made a mess and switched out a bunch of our passphrases without telling me what they are so I shall have to wait until we get home tonight to read this. Gah!

However, I trust the this shall be another Kirkup classic.

Excellent. I do hope Adrian Harrop reads it.

Fantastic!

Especially on WPUK ("sometimes they have biscuits") and the odious Harrumph.

OK, I crack, without quoting, can anyone paraphrase a classic sentence about Harrop?

Excellent!

You excelled yourself again, James. You make that snivelling toad Harrop look like the pathetic creature he is.

Basically, the Harrop account has to be a spoof, because the alternative is too troubling to contemplate The words 'stupid' and 'awful' crept in too.

To people with a slightly firmer grip on reality

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, thank you James for everything but that little throwaway in particular. There's precious little to laugh about at the moment so any snigger opportunity is received with gratitude!

But James phrases it so much better.

In the same issue a great piece by Lionel Shriver too
"In the guise of suffering and woundedness, the overriding emotion in call-out culture is a sensation of triumph"

Something's gone weird with my password too, so will have to read it later :(

Brilliant! Highlights the absurdities of it all.

The Spectator are offering a free trial on subscriptions at the moment - I may just take them up on it.

Sometimes they have biscuits too.

DH does this all the time - makes a mess, changes the passcode/phrases, and then only tells me when I can't log in!

This is like Airplane - This is not a good day for me to be without my subscriptions.

The TRAs demand complete capitulation or the dole out utter decimation. There is no grey area.

They are fools; the entire world is grey.

That is an excellent article.
I admit to being a bit naughty and copy and pasting it onto Facebook, but I want people to read it. I’m sorry James, but I think it’s worth it. One of my Facebook friends is the chair of a local Green party, not sure what her opinion is of all this but hopefully she might read it.

bet it's not

Excellent article. It is laughable in an awful kind of way that the TRAs hate dissenting voices so much that they block the leader of the most pro-trans mainstream party out there for even contemplating debating with WPUK.

Howled with joy at this

Well done lad

Good article by Lionel Shriver. She never takes any shit.
