Anyone interested?

I could make a killing hanging around flogging people kleenex

When I saw the £75 I thought that was what they were paying for the day and I could easily do that

Re the misogynist cuntery on the internet thing, James Delingpole just tweeted Toby Young unfavourably reviewing Suzanne Moore's article on Gove/free schools, and said Toby Young had 'given her such a good seeing-to she'll have to walk bow-legged for weeks'. He's deleted it now, but really? He's on fucking Question Time tonight. That's how acceptable this sort of crap is.

And as for the scum with jobs and families doing OU courses...

What about the prisoners doing OU courses...what is that all about?

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

Delingpoles vermin though, actual vermin- we know that. Good point about him being on qt though- the closest thing to a left wing view is supplied by owen jones and milkwater liberals

Indeed. Whereas Delingpole is a proper out-there, batshit, libertarian space cadet cuntshovel mooncalf.

Also this BBC Extra Guest they have tweeting live during the programme for an "alternative" viewpoint...right, left or in the middle, I think it's been Oxbridge everytime bar twice; Harry Cole who went to Edinburgh and someone else who went to Durham.

Nah. Sunny Hundal's Uxbridge, not Oxbridge.

Nicely done. Yeah, I was forgetting Hundal. Would that it was always so easy.

Alright, Oxbridge, and those who wished they'd gone there.

I was just coming to post that - the editor of the Telegraph's apologised, and Delingpole's apologised profusely.

suzanne moore ‏@suzanne_moore
I haven't deleted THAT tweet. I haven't accepted the so-called apology. I dont play by their 'gentleman's rules'. Let's see.

And then, when Ian Gallagher explained the above...

1. suzanne moore ‏@suzanne_moore
   @gallaghereditor you condone? ‏@JamesDelingpole @toadmeister gives Suzanne Moore such a seeing-to she'll be walking bow-legged for months

2. 4m Tony Gallagher ‏@gallaghereditor
   @suzanne_moore obviously not. An appalling comment. He is right to have deleted & apologised profusely

@gallaghereditor I appreciate that thank you and will think further on what action I will be taking.

Hints of legal action - the rich protestors retreat.

TBF spiney norman made similar 'hints' on here, and I have no reason to think him a 'rich protestor'

 

[Steel Icarus]

Not sure this is a profuse apology from Delingpole

I'm sorry, Suzanne, my Tweet was over the top. I've used it on with ref to men before, but I realise with women it's wrong.

 

[weepiper]

Martin Rowson the cartoonist's replies were good

1. Martin Rowson ‏@MartinRowson
   @JamesDelingpole @toadmeister Maybe. Should still go & fuck himself. You can then joke about his prolapsed rectum slapping round his knees
   
   
2. Martin Rowson ‏@MartinRowson
   @JamesDelingpole @toadmeister Or was that a bit stromng? Tho obviously absolutely fine for you to write like that about women, eh James?

 

[cesare]

Delingpole doesn't really get that rapey language ain't a good look, full stop.

He's in on it too now, he's got Laurie Penny's number

I think Moore's having a bit of a wobble about the security of her position at the minute.

 

[DotCommunist]

yeah that wasn't an apology it was an appeal to 'I'm sorry I forgot this wasn't the mens bar and ladies are present' etc.

what makes me sick is that they're all mates and that this is a playground squabble. when you're mates with delingpole it's time to have a word surely

Are they mates? No idea if they are or not, or whether it's just some kind of journo camaraderie of the sort we're told goalkeepers have.

RCP/Living Marxism/IoI fellow traveller & professional contrarian TV producer Martin Durkin is a fan of both Delingpole and Young (and others):

In our newspapers, at the moment, we have fantastically popular, radical writers like James Delingpole and Janet Daley and Rod Liddle and Toby Young and Simon Heffer and Melanie Philips. I am often asked why, on our TVs, we don’t we see much of these enormously popular columnists

So maybe there is an actual secret club

 

[DotCommunist]

has he confused 'enormously popular' with 'enormous bellends'?

 

[weepiper]

We don't see much of them on tv? Is he taking the fucking piss?

They're ALL taking the piss.

Although if Young, Moore, Bindel, Burchill, Uncle Delingpole and all decide to eat each other.
