Morning all.

When Nick Ferrari is the voice of reason, you know things are bad

[AnatolyKasparov]

Ferrari's politics are pretty bad, but he is quite good at his actual job despite that.

This is what happens when racists are emboldened, those on the right who aren't prepared to be openly racist are denounced as traitors and apologists. We've seen it with Fraser Nelson and Konstantin Kisin already and I'm sure it's happening to others. The Tories are playing a very dangerous game, not just for the Muslims who suffer this racism, but for themselves.

[AnatolyKasparov]

A phrase about "eating its own children" comes to mind.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Don't often agree with him but fair play to Iain Dale here. Let's see if he gets the same racist pile on as the other right wing commentators who've had the gall to express a bit of human decency. He went on afterwards to explain that he's so disgusted he's questioning for the first time if he'll vote Conservative at the next GE, pointing out if the Tories lose people like him they're in even deeper shit than they realise.

[Sky'sGoneOut]

Gave it a few hours and oh look, he's being attacked by a load of racists.

Let's hope this opens the eyes of the 'decent' right wing commentariat who've been happy to dismiss or downplay Islamophobia on their side of politics for years. They scoffed at Sayeeda Warsi, called her a crank, and accused her of exaggerating, let's see how they enjoy being in the firing line instead.

Anyway Angela Rayner sold her house which is way worse than any of this apparently.

Itsa crazy world , cont !

( as Ive already noted how chummy Bibi was with Vlad ...)



See reactions to that tomorrow, NN !

As a counterpoint to the right wing journalists now facing shit from Islamophobic racists, it seems Corbyn supporters have taken it upon themselves today to have a go at James O'Brien for defending Dawn Butler (who as far as I'm aware was a Corbyn ally) against accusations of antisemitism from a Tory councillor. He went on to defend himself against further allegations by this idiot, but if you listen to the call he initially took issue with accusations against Butler and everyone else within the Labour party the fool was attempting to smear.

I understand the Corbynistas have been unhappy with O'Brien for a considerable amount of time, and I'm not unsympathetic to their grievance, but the fact is he said nothing today they could possibly have disagreed with and he defended one of their own.

Yet we still get this kind of inane shit.

Anyway on the more genteel front of the culture wars Jonathan Sumption is making an arse of himself again.
