Toby Young is a c0nt

He wasn't. He fell foul of student journalists who were able to prove that he was a fan of eugenics, which scared off his MP chums who kept offering him jobs. People on twitter then laughed at him.
He likes to say "twitter mobbing" because that implies that a situation where lots of people on Twitter have been irrationally attacking him simply because of a shared ideology or affiliation, nothing to do with what he's actually done, and that's brought about his downfall due to publicity-shy bodies. But he hasn't even been particularly hounded on Twitter, let alone irrationally so; as you say he was exposed as having supported eugenics in multiple circumstances when he was up for being given a post in the "Office For Students" and even the Tories thought that was a bad look. Nothing to do with Twitter.

I'm not sure whether he's the least self-aware person in British public life, that would be a really hard position to take, but he's up there.
 
I remember his story on how none of his "friends" wanted to come on his stag weekend.

D,oes he never even have the hint of a thought that, 'Maybe I'm just a c0nt?."
 
lol
My fall in status has been vertiginous, like the plot of a Tom Wolfe novel, but I can say, hand on heart, that it isn’t all bad. Yes, yes, there’s the money — or lack of it. I’ve always supplemented my income by doing freelance journalism, but it’s only now that I’m relying on it entirely that I realise just how difficult it is to make a living from being a hack. When I wrote my first piece for a national newspaper in 1985 I was paid three times as much as I get for an article today. Poor Caroline has had to take a part-time job to keep the wolf from the door. If interest rates go up, or Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister and introduces a property tax, we’ll have to sell the house.
best bit
 
Sometimes I wonder how people get involved in public life. It's this, isn't it? It's having absolutely no doubt in your mind that you are more important than absolutely anyone else. Not even the merest hint that you might be less important than anything else, ever. Never feeling anything less than utterly important. In many ways I'm a little in awe.

I think what you describe is called going to public school.

You only have to look at Boris Johnson. If he came from my place of origin people would queue up to throw excrement and invective at him. As it is, he manages to occupy high public office. :facepalm:
 
being the son of a notable & suitably principled Labour academic he was state school educated, failed to set the world alight & then wangled a place at Oxford "....under a scheme to give access to comprehensive pupils..." after some phone calls were made & ended up with a 1st in PPE

I mention all this as it is virtually word-for-word also true of David Milliband
 
He admits to bullying his kids in the article, and loving watching them turn into little cunts. What a cunt.
