Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson is an embarrassment to journalism

I will always hate her for whining about how Strictly was 'woke' because it had a disabled woman on it. That and I Don't Know How She Does It was anti-feminist bullshit. Implying that women can't have a family and a job at the same time and would be much happier if we packed the job in.
 
She was in the Telegraph yesterday with a column demanding that Britain has no responsibility to take refugees from Gaza.

The angle on current events that the MSM had been neglecting.
 
From today's front page, trying to equate Netanyahu's Israel with Zelenskyy's Ukraine. The Boris Johnson who's president of Conservative Friends of Ukraine must be different from his disgraced namesake.

"a growing global coalition for evil" Bernard Henri-Levy is a philosopher. These are his thoughts and insights. Johnson obviously we knew about.
 
Tbf it is hard to have serial killer nurses if you've gotten rid of all the nurses. And as a percentage of deaths it'd certainly make murder much less prominent.
 
Well well well... today's Telegraph front page :D

Here's the article (via archive.ph)


Loving how the scumbag and her scumbag newspaper are trying to manufacture outrage by the fact that police knocked on her door on Remembrence Sunday!! for a subsequently-deleted tweet THAT IS OVER A YEAR OLD!!!

Does anyone know the contents of the tweet in question?
 
I love Gary Lineker because not only is he a DILF, his very existence pisses the right off. And he's not even that left-wing, fuck knows what they'd make of Neville Southall.

Allison Pearson is one of my most hated columnists for reasons I've stated upthread. Also, you know she'd be handing out white feathers to teens.
 
Well well well... today's Telegraph front page :D

Perhaps my favourite thing about this nonsense of an article is the very, very slight admission that it was Braverman (and the ilk of Harry Miller) who set up the new system around reporting / recording NCHIs.

Sadly though it never manages to come to the conclusion that they might therefore actually bear some responsibility for cops enforcing that system, never mind the complete failure to create any kind of bespoke series of offences around social media and of course it is never mentioned that the reason why Essex Police's statistics appear so bad may well be because fourteen years of Tory rule saw significant budget cuts, closed police stations, fewer cops and police staff etc etc.

Also, given that its Pearson and her history of hypocrisy, one would perhaps not be surprised if this Kafkaesque intrusion into freedom of speech was related to her demanding that other people's freedom of speech (over Gaza probably) should be curtailed.
 
And the tweet which led to this Kafkaesque persecution of such a brave and impartial journalist ...


But the Guardian believes it has found the post at the centre of the row.

It is a retweet by Pearson of a photograph posted several months ago amid heightened tensions over the policing of Gaza protests. It shows a group of people of colour posing with a flag on a British street, flanked by three police officers.

The photograph angered Pearson, who wrote a tweet condemning the Metropolitan police: “How dare they.

“Invited to pose for a photo with lovely peaceful British Friends of Israel on Saturday police refused. Look at this lot smiling with the Jew haters.”

In fact, the picture is from Manchester, sources confirm, and thus the officers pictured are from Greater Manchester police and not the London force.

The implication that the Muslims pictured are antisemitic and supporting Hamas is undermined by the green and maroon flag they are holding. The flag is used by supporters of the Pakistani political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). It also, rather clearly, has the word “Pakistan” written on it.

PTI was founded by the former international cricketer Imran Khan, who became prime minister of Pakistan before being deposed and jailed.

The person who complained to the police is not Muslim nor one of those pictured. They are a former public servant with training in criminal law. They wish to stay anonymous, fearing reprisals, especially from far-right elements, but told the Guardian the post by Pearson was “racist and inflammatory” – which she denies.
 
NCHI angle heated up:

“At no stage during the short interaction between the woman and our officers was she informed that the report being investigated was being treated as a non-crime hate incident. To suggest otherwise is wholly inaccurate and misleading.

“As the public would expect, we have body worn video of this interaction which entirely supports our position in this respect.”


"wholly inaccurate and misleading" really should feature as one of her attributes on her CV.
 
Also lol at the end of that article:

Essex Police said it supports free speech but "it does not support inaccuracy".

"If an alleged crime is reported, it is investigated. There is no public interest in falsehood."

Someone should probably tell the establishment, various institutions and regimes that "there is no public interest in falsehood" since the "I lied or covered up only to serve the national interest or to preserve the reputation of this great institution that does so much good in the world" shit defence is a common feature throughout history.
