the gushing tributes to the "outspoken", "controversial", columnist and his "acerbic wit" in the Spectator alone are non-stop. Michael Gove and Boris Johnson fulsome in their praise for this genius columnist and his appetite for winding up the woke left. He was, of course, absolutely vile. This is the man who said he couldn't be a teacher because he "could not conceive of not trying to shag the kids". But he put the bar at year 10, so about 14 years old - of course he has standards. But of course this was just satire that went over the thick lefties' heads. This is the man who expressed a fervent belief that viewing child pornography should be legal. This was most certainly not meant ironically. Black people are responsible for the vast majority of violent crime, he claimed, and in return they have given us rap music and goat curry. Hilarious. Not quiiiite sure that was meant as satire. Also, it is very easy to prove that the poor educational performance of Brits of Afro-Caribbean descent and African Americans has nothing to do with structural racism. The list of bigoted shite he came out with and then half-arsedly defended as "parody" is too long to get into. The assault on his pregnant partner was presumably done ironically. He admitted it and then later claimed this was only because he would get released quicker. Absolute prick. I wouldn't go so far as to say I celebrated his death but it's certainly a loss I won't mourn, and those trying to rewrite history and make excuses for his cuntishness are embarrassing themselves. That's my rant for the evening!
