Toby Young is a c0nt

Not a eugenicist; he was merely interested in what the speakers at the eugenics conference had to say.

Eugenics is merely a hobby of his then...

 

[brogdale]

Maybe that needed an appropriate emoji...apols.

I figured you were saying it in the tone of someone saying 'i'm not a racist but [insert something racist]'.

All good, then.

This bit offered some signs for optimism: “In fact, I think I’ve got COVID-19. I became symptomatic seven days ago and am now anxiously waiting to see if the disease spreads to my lungs.”

"The money was just resting in my account."

He does have a point though, I doubt NICE would recommend paying money to extend his lifetime.

Who needs medical and epidemiology experts when we have Tobes, eh?

I don't think he understands how this thing works...

Not 'spreads to my family' then? 'Spreads to anyone else I might have infected'? Nooooooo.

To be fair to him he’s only saying what other members of the narrating class and their superiors really think.

In exchange value terms it’s a no brainer.How else to explain a situation where the ruling class have retreated to their isolated second or third homes, the middle class are safely working from home and our class is told to carry on building, servicing, distributing and caring?

Tbf it does initially take up residence in the upper respiratory tract before spreading to the lungs.

Yes, but it's fairly fast acting if it's going to be a bad case, he'd definitely know within seven days if he was going to be hospitalised. It just smacks o him wanting to say that he has it, that he wants to be just like bojo and Dom.

Doing what he's paid to do...moving that window.

And, critically, keeping his profile high for the next (well paid) gig.

 

[gosub]

If he's offering. We need a futile gesture at this stage it will raise the whole tone

 

[Raheem]

If he does die, let's have a whipround for a headstone that just says 'Acceptable collateral damage'.

 

[agricola]

Tobes goes full-on Nazi in his latest Twitter thread.




"Arguments", eh?

Idiot. I bet he only picked the 14th because he realised the 15th was already indelibly associated with disasters caused by his ilk.

 

[equationgirl]

It's not just elderly people with underlying health issues who are dying of this. It's people of all ages, and those in good health. He really is a cunt.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Absolutely, which just re-emphasises what a selfish, anti-social, moral void he is. Screeching his well heeled 'heresies' to order, he claims to be on the edge (he may even actually believe it) while he's actually at the rotten cosseted centre.

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

But he's a cunt who loves Liberty!

I ask why we’re so enthusiastic about being placed under house arrest by the authorities compared to the people of other countries?

Where has the British love of liberty gone?
Protests against lockdown are raging in other nations.ackheath

Particularly, when that love can get you a column at the Torygraph.m

If we had the right to bear arms in this country we could send an Urban posse round to sort him out for good. liberate him from house arrest, and get him to lead us on a march to Blackheath. He could be our new Wat Tyler

I agree with your post, but (bolded bit) Toby Young is one of the very worst, so he fully deserves to be singled out for a hammering. Just a verbal one, obviously

There is a tendency on the left to single individuals out either for ‘saying the unsayable’ or as somehow embodying a specifically unattractive/unacceptable view or politics.

I find it deeply unattractive as a method for two specific reasons:

1. It can often look like virtue signalling or even worse a quite moralistic form of politics.

2. More importantly it often overlooks the economic, political and cultural processes that produce these individuals.

I guess it’s a matter of how you want to expend energy. A lot of people I know seem to be more exercised about attacking, exposing, thinking about balloons like Young rather than thinking deeply and acting to address the structures that throw them up and give them oxygen.

For me, Toby Young and all other Toby Young’s are merely a symptom of the disease. Curing the disease also cleans away the unpleasant effects of it.

Maybe useful to encourage these people you know to embrace both theory & praxis? They're not mutually exclusive.
Bit hard in the era of social media to expect folk not to react to utter shitcunts like Young, tbh.

Both fair points. I was making an observation rather than a set of demands tbf!

I hope Toby takes his own advice and wanders far & wide whilst the rest of us are locked down. Maybe he could visit the local Hospital's Covid wards, or a few care homes and tell them about his wonderful fear-free approach to pandemics and public safety...

If he should catch it and drop down dead, well at least he went out on his own terms.

 

[DaveCinzano]

Having fixed schools, it's only natural that he turns his not inconsiderable skillsets loose on hospitals
