This tit being more fair-minded and consistent than your average Sensible Moderate is IMO quite telling news.sky.com/story/jacob-re…
Well, we can compare it to those horrible Guardian columnists flouncing off to other papers while wailing they are victims of totalitarian thought control or whatever, then start drawing conclusions.

The redefining of class from a material power-relationship status to a completely superficial but somehow immutable, inherited trait is probably the most annoying bit of intellectual vandalism the political and media class(!) has inflicted on this country lol

One of my favourites, it’s great
Even more incredible since the UNRWA story was, essentially, a conspiracy theory. We now have parliamentary meetings run by murkily funded groups peddling conspiracy and this will rather miserably barely create a ripple.

The one accurate part of this is that the real threat to UK economic growth is aggressive rent seeking across the private and public sector, now, to see what Frost thinks about preventing that

@flying_rodent Minor point, but it was John Major that massively expanded the Universities after 1992, not Blair. These people just have no fucking clue about anything.
@flying_rodent Reading G*by Hinsliff’s piece today, I think I can predict the next Guardianista to go off like a Catherine Wheel. A piece ostensibly about woke culture that segues off into three paragraphs of spittle flecked fury about the ‘transes’. Strong waitress-correcting energy, that one
@flying_rodent Find it quite amusing where the headline in the link cuts off on the feed with JRM looking like the Demon Headmaster #EasilyEntertained
@flying_rodent they're so dumb they don't know how transparent they are when the flop to the ground for Jacob but not for, say, Zarah, even though they're supposedly on Zarah's team
Also starring Kerry Condon, Ciarán Hinds, Colm Meaney and Niamh Cusack?!?
@flying_rodent "Just have your say and express your views at the ballot box!" "Ha ha suck it cranks you'll vote for what you're given! Your views should have no presence in public life"
@ejhchess @flying_rodent and there really is a problem with these people heading towards their 50s and beyond because both in their professional and personal lives, they stop garnering respect from "The Kids" because that is how life works and it drives them insane
@flying_rodent I am being unfair to a degree, but she's someone from a very well-off background who does not expect to be contradicted or have other people get in her way, and that's the story of a fair proportion of what passes for our political commentary
@flying_rodent and as you know, they aren't "fighting" they're just killing, which they can't ever stop doing apparently
@flying_rodent Cracking film with stars a-plenty, and Thelma Ritter is indeed a scene-stealer par excellence.
@flying_rodent Them: They shouldn't be at university they should learn real skills and get a job. Me: And join the union. Them: No Me: Night school at the Working Men's Institute
I think the delulu that the political system in the UK even verges on democracy is exactly why you get scenes like this.
Now I don't like JRM. But this is a vile scene in a democracy.
@flying_rodent It's like something out of the Cultural Revolution *if* the subject of the struggle was completely safe and grinning smugly throughout.
@Mr_Considerate @flying_rodent Not that they care, but that seems to me to be some serious breach of journalistic ethics right there
@flying_rodent These people hate Britain. They hate its universities. They hate its young people. They hate its freedoms. Why do they the UK so much? Possibly because they are utter wankers?
@flying_rodent Also wholly unsurprised that the Times decades long campaign that students must be forced to hear ideas they don't like at University to encourage critical thinking and combat indoctrination is only concerned with a particular brand of unpopular ideas.
@iammightor @flying_rodent This response is so common and so ridiculous "Oh you say we're welcome at the protest but what if we're against everything it stands for and also want the cops to beat them up? Would you want us there then? So much for the tolerant left"
@flying_rodent Doesn't matter how self serving and corrupt someone is, doesn't matter how many they drive into poverty, doesn't matter how far they reduce living standards, you still have to be very polite to them and never protest. Reasonable centrist 101.
