AlasdairHOST
yeah.
AlasdairHOST
Well, you are both correct if you said commentariat, because that is Richard Littlejohn.
AlasdairHOST
HE CHUCKLES i thought i thought the dad's army mention would give it away but uh yeah so that was from his article titled the russians are coming and thanks to burnham we're all doomed
JamieHOST
yeah of course yeah yeah no i mean the thing is the dad's army reference wouldn't give it away because like it's actually about like fucking the army like the home guard or whatever and so a comment like a british boomer would immediately grab that reference in a comment as well you'd know it was little john immediately if he if he mentioned dad's army when he was talking about like petrol prices or something
James O'BrienHOST
There aren't many left, and I think one of them has just lost a column, as far as I can tell.
James O'BrienHOST
But when people like Richard Littlejohn at the Daily Mail essentially start rubbing their thighs like Vic Reeves in the presence of Ulrika Johnson whenever Donald Trump's name is... is mentioned, you have to point out how utterly, utterly unworthy of any admiration, praise or compliment the man is.
James O'BrienHOST
And you do so by pointing out his assaults upon things that everybody once pretended to care about.
James O'BrienHOST
A free press, for example, a free media.
James O'BrienHOST
We point out the obscenities and the absurdities.
James O'BrienHOST
We are never more committed to the facts than when pointing out how British journalists, there aren't many left, and I think one of them has just lost a column as far as I can tell, but when people like Richard Littlejohn at the Daily Mail essentially start rubbing their thighs like Vic Reeves in the presence of Ulrika Johnson whenever Donald Trump's name is is mentioned you have to point out how utterly utterly unworthy of any admiration praise or compliment the man is and you do so by pointing out his assaults upon things that everybody once pretended to care about a free press for example a free media not shooting people in the face for the crime of looking a bit foreign, not launching wars with absolutely no prospect of success, having campaigned upon a promise not to launch wars at all, let alone wars without any prospect of success, misappropriating, losing, stealing, choose your verb, billions and billions of dollars.
James O'BrienHOST
from Venezuela after getting rid of one president to replace him with another who has still not been elected.
James O'BrienHOST
So, you know, that's anti-democratic.
Juliet HarrisHOST
It's a new entry.
Juliet HarrisHOST
I'm not going to be able to say this without laughing or turning into Richard Littlejohn as Ed so often likes to label me.
Juliet HarrisHOST
This is Up To No Good by Porn Kings.
Juliet HarrisHOST
Yes, I know.
Russell HowardHOST
Yeah, absolutely.
Matt FordeGUEST
I feel like I'm really becoming Richard Littlejohn.
Jon RichardsonHOST
That's because you're becoming the taxpayer that you didn't used to be.
Matt FordeGUEST
Oh.
Richard GerverGUEST
And so it's a really tough space and place, actually.
Richard GerverGUEST
And it's not helped because then you get more on columnists like, is it Richard Littlejohn a few years ago that said, I actually wanted to be a secondary school teacher but felt I couldn't because I'd want to date the girls.
Bev WakefieldHOST
Oh.
Bev WakefieldHOST
Right, and
James O'BrienHOST
And not just the people in the room actually, but the Farage fans in the British media.
James O'BrienHOST
What are they going to do? What's Dick Littlejohn going to do in the Daily Mail in his next column? Is he going to come out and say, all right, I may have compared Nigel Farage to a Spitfire pilot in the past and described him as the the answer to all this country's problems.
James O'BrienHOST
But obviously, you can't let this sort of thing through.
James O'BrienHOST
You can't let this sort of thing slide.
James O'BrienHOST
You've got the Daily Mail columnists and others.
James O'BrienHOST
You've got Dick Littlejohn going on about how he wishes Donald Trump was ruling this country when almost every expert in the field, proper expert, makes a compelling case for him being a Kremlin stooge.
James O'BrienHOST
Or at the very least, no one can answer the question of what he would do differently if he wasn't.
James O'BrienHOST
doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin? Answer, nothing.
32 MINS LATER
James O'BrienHOST
You don't.
James O'BrienHOST
I mean, you might have done once, but I mean, how else do you explain the fact that 80 odd percent of the British public are in support of renationalization and public ownership of utilities when you... would think that the figure was exactly the other way around if you were relying on right-wing media.
James O'BrienHOST
And why do these columnists and commentators keep bigging up Farage? One of them, it's probably Dick Littlejohn, I actually can't remember on this occasion, I think compared him to a Spitfire pilot once.
James O'BrienHOST
It's weird, right? I mean, it's up there with calling him Daddy.
James O'BrienHOST
You've got the Daily Mail columnists and others.
