Grace Campbell - Alastair Campbell

[BlueLegume]

If I have missed any threads already started about this then apologies.

I am literally lost for words on the post she added to her podcast along with Charlie Craggs.

My own daughter has been lost to this cause. I am hoping I get her back. How utterly vile can a young woman be - Grace Campbell - towards women who have worked so hard to give her such privilege. I might be ugly and a freak Grace with awful hair. But I am not a mean girl.

So his promotion of this podcast on X was just to drive his income?? Wow, wow

Sick to the back teeth of it...

I love how you've put this. Goes to the core of the issue.

Hm. The link via Campbell's X account goes to an unpayalled version. Maybe he's graciously donated a free watch to everyone? IDK, I checked earlier and several videos said 'members only', but they don't seem to now.

I expect he asked his daughter

That's even worse than when I noticed his ratioing yesterday.

Just a thought - isn't the whole selling point of the Leading podcast that they use their contacts to get interviews with big names who normies might have heard of - Hillary Clinton, Jacinda Ardern, Mark Carney and similar?

Isn't this recently elected Congressperson from a tiny state... well, a bit low rent by comparison?

Would they have even thought of interviewing McBride if he wasn't trans?

Would they have even thought of interviewing McBride if he wasn't trans?

Of course not. And by interviewing him, and not Helen Joyce, or Kathleen Stock, they show exactly where their bias lies.

BTW, for fans of Dr Stock, Double Jeopardy interviewed her last week on their podcast, about the Assisted Dying bill & her book on State-sponsored death, Do Not Go Gentle.

They don't agree with Stock, but it's a bracingly robust & good-natured discussion/disagreement.

It made me reflect on the Venn diagram of feminists critical of gender extremist ideology and women opposed to State sanctioning of killing people (or euthanasia if you want an easier word). I'm in that overlapping bit, and I'm interested in how many women are: I think that women & girls are particularly vulnerable to State-sanctioned transing, surrogacy, and euthanasia.

I dread to think what'll happen to me in 25 years when I'm nearing for 90.

I semi-regularly check if Helen Joyce has done any recent podcast interviews, for I always learn something from her or have an angle to think about. It's not just that Helen is an exceptionally good communicator - you can't be a senior writer at the Economist without those skills - but you can see her constantly honing her arguments, listening to the interviewer, thinking about points that maybe she hasn't considered.

But it's not just getting lots of practice. It's also that she might be on a recognised podcast, but she'll just as often be talking to a random young woman with a small YouTube channel. She's got a real democratic spirit.

The Campbell and Rory show, with them coaxing pearls of wisdom from the grand thought leaders of Sensible Centrism, always reminds me of the old times on Twitter when all these smug celebrities were air-kissing each other and feeling like they were doing the plebs a massive favour by letting us look through the window at their fabulous celebrity lives, like an online version of Hello! magazine.

Even before they went mad over trans, I can't say how many celebrities I used to like who I ended up having absolute contempt for, just by way of following them on Twitter and seeing how they behaved.

If I weren't already radicalised against our political class, hearing Campbell and Rory go "tonight we're joined by the Foreign Minister of Australia, who's going to tell us all about Net Zero and disinformation" would do the job. It's Pravda level stuff.
