Littlejohn gaybashing again

Angry Mob has it here…

More rape fallacies from the right wing press

Melanie Phillips is now whining about rape and how the ‘feminist Sisterhood’ is responsible for the tendency of false allegations being made against poor, emasculated men. The specious nonsense she writes would be hilarious if not for the fact that The Daily Mail has a readership of nearly five million. M. Phil., like Ann Widdecombe, believes that a lot of rape cases are just drunken misunderstandings between couples or something similarly benign. Here’s a justification which wouldn’t look conspicuous in a radical Islamist’s marriage handbook.

Thus a woman is encouraged to claim she has been raped when, for example, with the benefit of hindsight, she may become aggrieved about what she voluntarily allowed to happen, particularly when she was rather the worse for wear.

This is disturbing.

The Babel of Richard Littlejohn

Perhaps the best way to penetrate the incomprehensible logic of a tabloid columnist is do to some translating. Using Google Translate I translated Littlejohn’s latest from English to Arabic, German, Hebrew, Chinese and back to English. It now makes much more sense.

Only 75 grams of blind guards in the Council did not clean up the mess, he’s a dog in the library.
艾 伯特麦克 Faure, from Renfrew, Scotland, were handed £ 40 fixed penalty, but he did not do anything Labrador gold, copper, and it is just a waste piece of work.
As expected, the knowledge, not to mention the mountains? He is blind, but why.
If the guide dog is a clue. Therefore, the dog must be registered Albert disabled permit use of headlights.
He said he did not call for his death. Although the disorder is a nuisance dog, but its soil and debris on the sidewalk or large children’s playground.
Albert said: “I know rules are rules, I did not then the next person’s address, but it is not true.
He said he had received a warning, but the guards were punished only interested in name and a fine version.
What old blind fool’s heart refused to provide benefits, even if they committed a crime, technically easier?
But the “rule system is a tyrant Brett does not make sense, in the centuries. Experience the complete line Albert dwarf” n’safety verify the identity of the madness to my readers sent me weekly.

Without the use of any information or common sense, anyway.
You did not think of a shop or evidence of the guidance idiot, “a book of Daniel plastic smell, but really wants to buy a large tub with glue, and this hole reform?

Now that didn’t take long, did it?

Less than 24 hours into the new government and the middle classes are under siege again. Business as usual.

What a pity that the Tories didn’t win outright

I am regretting slightly that the Conservatives didn’t win an overall majority. Can you imagine if Cameron were today leading a Conservative government? What would the ambiance be like tomorrow in the conference rooms of the Tory press? Can you imagine being a news editor in the Daily Mail? Where does the material come from if not NuLiebour and Gordon Broon? You’re fucked. The tabs have been spoon-fed anti-Labour stories for 13 years. Eurosceptic PR, MigrationWatchUK, Taxpayers’ Alliance to hint at just a few. Easy, juicy, pre-written news fodder. And overnight it all vanishes. Three glorious years of vilifying Gordon Brown is over. Who to blame for chavs, immigrants, rapists, speed cameras, elf ‘n’ safety, council tax, stealth taxes, broken Britain, single mothers, benefit scroungers, human rites, political correctness? Who does a columnist turn to when stripped of his subject? Screwed, totally screwed. They certainly carry on for a while and blame it all on the legacy of Labour. But after a couple of years it starts to ring hollow. Incredulity incubates and people stop believing that Labour can be responsible for a stabbing in Basingstoke, two years out of government.  But in coalition with the Lib Dems I think the tabs have a substitute scapegoat who can be blamed for anything that goes wrong in Britain as long as they’re power-sharing. And I can’t help feeling a little disappointed about that.

The moral regression of Melanie Phillips

I have read the journalistic nonsense of Melanie Phillips for some years and it continues to surprise me how she actually gets away with it. She is a big fish in the conservative movement but in a riposte to Jonathan Freedland she coyly denied this:

Jonathan justifies his attack by claiming that I have massive influence. Would that it were so! I remain, alas, merely one journalist trying to tell the truth as I see it. Jonathan can breathe easily again.

Whatever the scale of her influence in 2007, and it was big, her influence is indeed massive in 2010: Lecturing widely, contributing to Fox News, a Daily Mail column, blogging at the Spectator, writing for the Jewish Chronicle, appearing on Question Time and BBC 4′s Moral Maze, promoting books–that’s massive. Liberal-minded people must watch with horror as her influence expands and the rhetoric intensifies. This week alone has seen her launch a new book as well as having a cover story in the Spectator.

Her big theme (aside from the Middle East, a subject for another day), abundantly reinforced throughout her writing, is that atheism, rationalism and the like are bad and Judeo-Christian voodoo is actually authentic reason. This is an attempt by one journalist to rewrite three millenia of philosophy. All the brilliant philosophers have been wasting their brains since Christianity because Phillips has figured it all out.

The tabloid fallacies of immigration

Angry Mob and Tabloid Watch have interesting things to say about the Gillian Duffy factor, especially the tabloid lie that immigration has until now been a taboo subject, except this granny has somehow, single-handedly, untied the national tongue so that everyone can shout “IMMI-FUCKING-GRATION!” from the rooftops of Britain. Except that it’s a flagrant fucking lie. Read them (↑).

NATIONAL HACK ATTACK ON LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

We knew it would get ugly but maybe not this ugly. April 15 was the date that Nick Clegg punctured the political/press/PR gasbag and left them all a muddle.

I couldn’t contain a squirm of  Schadenfreude when it became apparent that the Lib Dems had lopped the Conservative tree and trampled on Labour’s rose. You can imagine the chagrin of the tabloid nexus at seeing the Tories’ lead dwindle, and the years of election hopes dashed by the third party. Labour’s cronies must be equally shocked at being outgunned by the Cleggster. What a delight to see the glib bastards rattled and disarrayed.

It wasn’t long before the press backlash began, as expected. Plenty of opprobrium was heaped on Clegg, especially on the morning of the second debate. The Telegraph had something about donors and bank accounts, the Mail a ‘Nazi slur’;  the Express screamed about a ‘crazy’ immigration policy. The criticism has been so intense that Clegg’s election coordinator, Danny Alexander, claimed that the Tories had orchestrated a media campaign.

Peter Oborne writing in the Mail found his inner Littlejohn and wrote this spiteful bollocks:

‘The truth is that Clegg is the leader of a profoundly dishonest party that is prepared to lie, cheat and on occasion issue outrageous smears on its opponents in order to win power.’

Equally applicable to all parties, more so to Labour and Conservatives in my opinion. And at least the Lib Damns have for years been advocating the reform of the political system so that dishonesty, lies, cheating and outrageous smears aren’t the modus operandi of British politics.

Despite all the violent criticism, Rasputin refuses to die–the Lib Dems remain strong in the polls. Maybe the conservative press is using diversionary tactics by obsessively focussing on Clegg  so the electorate might forget about the inconvenient Vince Cable whose ability and likeability make him one of the biggest political assets in the Commons.

The election, Leaders’ Wives, and Jan Moir

Of course we’re gagging from the forced feeding of monotonous prattle about the election which didn’t actually begin last week, but has been foddering the columnist pigs for well over a year. Poll gap narrows, poll gap widens. Gap narrows, gap widens. Gorge, gorge, gorge.

But at least those of us who begin self-harming at election time sincerely dread the coverage because we know it’s all bullshit anyway. Or we know that whatever fraction of factuality will be buried under so much bullshit that we’ll all be just as ignorant come polling day. The tabs have been stalking the leaders’ wives for some time now, but recently they’ve begun masturbating in their wardrobes. The flabloid columnists write so scathingly about the wives and their clothes and their press choreography, yet they will never acknowledge that they grow fat on the swill of election gossip. And the trough is fathomless.

Jan Moir. Has she ever written insightfully about anything? Or about anything which didn’t mask some underlying misanthropic impulse? Has not a single synapse in her repugnant tabloid lobe ever fired for joy?

Her latest column is about…um…you know what it’s about. All the wives are vivisected by the offensive Moir, and she cannot contain her abhorrence of Sarah Brown’s toe:

There, walking barefoot on the red carpet as Hindu tradition demands, she proved that she is the kind of serious-minded woman who is too busy to stuff a mushroom or have a pedicure; practically the same thing, judging by the grim hooves on display.

Tabloid pigs like Moir should look no further than beneath their desks to find grim hooves.

TOP GUN STAR IN AGEING SCANDAL

Top Gun star Kelly McGillis has been embroiled in a fresh ageing scandal.

Gay McGillis, 52, was spotted in Colchester puffing on a cigarette and diplaying obvious signs of ageing. The actress is touring Britain in a stage version of Frankie and Johnny, which opens with a graphic sex-scene and contains full-frontal nudity.

Frank Soames of Agewatch has criticised the actress for her ‘flagrant disregard of the sensibilities of the British people’.

‘It might be normal to go around with wrinkles in other parts of the world but in Britain celebrities have the decency to get surgery or botox, and to not go out at all when they can no longer disguise the signs of ageing. That’s the British way.

‘It is nearly twenty-five years since McGillis starred in Tog Gun and that’s a lot of ageing. Fans of the film are likely to be shocked if they recognise her on the street and see that she is a wrinkly, middle-aged gay. She should show more sensitivity. Tom Cruise has at least made an effort over the years.’
