Toby Young is a c0nt

[brogdale]

I’m pretty sure this Toby bloke is a stand up comedian.

OK, I'll bite.
How did you end up being sure of something that just ain't so?

Is this him?

[tim]

He's going through one of his 1930's EUgenics phases


It's as good an justificationas any to give a piece of your free speech.

Yes, that's Toby Young, who is not a stand-up comedian, doing a stand-up routine at Doyle & Shaw's right-wing 'comedy' club.

He wrote that film with simon pegg in it, which is unique for simon pegg being in it not being the worst thing about it

I think that the screenplay (not written by Young) was based on his godawful book.

Yeah that's what I mean. Obviously I've not read the book though. I just watched the film back when I was still giving simon pegg the benefit of the doubt for spaced

I've read the book. (In my defence, I was on holiday and had run out of reading material and a copy of that was kicking about so...) It confirms that he is indeed an utter cunt.

Eta It was also a long time ago and i'd no idea who he was.

If that’s Toby Young telling jokes on stage - he’s a stand up comic.

Duh!

I’m pretty sure this Toby bloke is a stand up comedian.

Why?


I mean he obviously isn’t, but why do you say that?

 

[Marty1]

There’s a video of him doing stand-up comedy?

Duh!

If someone plays five a side badly, once in a blue moon, would you call them a footballer?

There are videos of me singing karaoke. Doesn’t mean i’m A singer.

Only if the footballer has far-right politics.

Poor analogy, that could apply to half the Premiership.

The politics are irrelevant to this micro- debate, tho you could argue there are plenty stand-up comics at PMQS on both sides of the despatch box.

You actually typed that.

 

[SpineyNorman]

What a strange discussion. Has anyone taken Marty the far right supporter's temperature lately?

Duh!

Yeah, you really got me there.
I feel a bit of a fool now.
Should have known that the eugenisist cunt was a stand up comic.
Perhaps I should read Guido more regularly to keep up with show-biz news, right?

Oh, look, along comes Urban's resident alt-righter to normalise the excesses of a racist, sexist reactionary hate merchant.

Allow me to spare you the trouble:

Er...you haven't done much standup, have you, Mister Dunning-Kruger?

 

[souljacker]

He's not even telling jokes. Just recanting some tales of his in a sneering way. Basically being a total arse.

You're wokely trying to cancel him for exercising his right to free speech. Sadly, it won't work

I’m surprised you got through it, he’s as about as funny as a loaf of bread.

Anyway, the singular point I was making is that this Toby bloke is indeed a stand-up comic. Surely on that alone, he shouldn’t be taken seriously.

 

[two sheds]

Course he is.

Course you were. Course he shouldn't.

Salient singular point:

Oh he’s definitely a Nazi. He supports Charles Murray, writes for Quillette and props up ever crypto-fascist PoS out there. He and his entire fan base are fascist cancer.

I think I see where you're going wrong. He's a stand-up cunt, not a comic. Easy mistake to make, though...

Looks as though UCL has failed to properly investigate the Eugenics conference held on its estate that Young & Sabisky attended during it's Eugenics inquiry.

The inquiry did not investigate London Conference on Intelligence meetings on eugenics, which were run at the university by James Thompson, an honorary senior lecturer who has now been stripped of his title. Speakers at these meetings included white supremacists and a researcher who had previously advocated child rape.

Andrew Sabisky, the former No 10 adviser who was forced to step down last week because of a furore around his comments on race and intelligence, was listed as a speaker at an LCI meeting at UCL in 2015. Toby Young was forced to resign as a director of the government’s New Schools Network after it was revealed that he also attended one of the meetings.
