The mighty reporter of the Snowden scoop turns out to be a vicious misogynist

I see both the woman have long blonde hair but I meant the one who gets a close-up

It's Sara Pascoe I think and presumably from Boyle's New World Order shows.

I'm always surprised he has a job still. He was accused of sexually harassing interns a year ago and put on leave but they must have let him back in for some reason.

He's well known for loathing women though. Glenn's never met a female co-worker, politician, or notable person he could stomach. It makes him very popular with his Libertarian brethren but the vast majority of people hate him, as well they should.

Does anyone recognise who the woman with the long blonde hair is in the Frankie Boyle clip and what its provenance is? She looks familiar.

He is just odious. I can a
understand if one were a trans person that one might disagree with what JKR said. I get that and it is possible to say so without being vicious. Paris Lees did.

But Boyle is demonstrating jaw dropping levels of ignorance, stupidity and sheer malevolence in accusing JKR of living in an ivory tower, being "I'm all right Jack".

She has lost her billionaire status because she has given away so much money. In April alone this year she gave £1 million to homeless and women's aid charities.

The links below aren't for the benefit of readers on here but if Boyle is vain enough to have a Google alert he might see them.

As for Frankie Boyle - I simply believed who he was the first time he showed me. Haven't troubled myself with his testerical drivel since.

Greenwald nearly missed the Snowden story through sheer incompetence and has been riding its coat tails ever since.

Ha, you can actually hear him paddling furiously round in circles, trying to get out of the dangerous snare of logical questions ans thought provoking comments. What a dick.

Wtf is that JK thing from Frankie Boyle? How can it be 'the best'? It doesn't make sense at all.

He's a bit confused isn't he. A failed collapsed former empire? Would he rather we hadn't ended the arrangement and kept it going? Would he have described that as a success?

UK 'pathologies'

That would be women's rights, Glenn

But Glenn, there are many reasons why the UK is pro women rights 'epicentre'

The question is, why should it be a problem for you?

Frankie Boyle is like Dominic Cummings - makes a living off pretending that he isn't part of the establishment, while completely being part of it. Oh and she's not a billionaire, Frankie. She's given away millions, and weirdly none of her money has been made from making young women feel shit about their appearance or making rape jokes about disabled kids.

If anyone needs another reason to despise Frankie Boyle - here you go. What an utterly loathsome individual he is.

He's an insufferable prick. If it wasn't for Laura Poitras, he would have missed the Snowden scoop and we all might have avoided his rantings.
