No, not Swayne who is consistently on the right side of the argument. The dick of the day is that utter moron, Tom Peck. His whole risible article is an ad hominem attack – and when someone is reduced to the ad hom, it’s a tacit admission that they have no argument – and Peck really has none here. Tom Peck is on the side of tyranny, Swayne is on the side of liberty, so no contest really. If you want evidence of the evil that now infests the media, look no further than Tom Peck.
You could waste a few moments reading his drivel, but it’s so idiotic and fallacious, I wouldn’t bother, frankly. The man is a cretin.
Well, it’s in the independent so what else would you expect?
And Tom Peck is a fake news journalist, so even more of a scumbag than a politician.
I did.
And you were right.
But still useful to know what is possible. Like watching male baboon throwing a wobbley.
Tom Peck manages to make the average baboon look pretty bright.
Depressing and terrifying as it is reading such pieces (I took your advice and didn’t read it – I assume it is in the Jeremy Vein), I find that they serve as useful reminders not to put my head too far above the parapet at work.
Martin Kettle in the Groan covers similar ground. These pieces are a barometer. Whatever these scumbags say, the moral position is the exact opposite.
Why did I read that?
I think Calculon from Futurama, an old cartoon series, said it best.

Read the first two paragraphs, got the gist, got bored. And to think people still subscribe to this rag!?
Dammit, Longy! I made the mistake of reading that – another five minutes of my life I won’t get back. What a prat this Peck bloke is!
You were warned.
Thank you for the warning. I made a deliberate effort and didn’t followed the link to Peck’s article.
Dodged a bullet there. However, did you hear that Orwell’s estate has authorised a re-writing of ‘1984’ as a feminist tome? Revisionism writ large. Save your original copies as reference pdf’s and hardbacks for future generations.
Yeah, I did. It’s as bad as a non binary James Bond.
That has to be the irony of all ironies.
