Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

Linehan called Norton Homophobic earlier.

Amazing.

Bragging about giving Norton his break aswell, Norton killed it on Father Ted. That relationship goes both ways, employer and employee, despite what linehan may feel about his omnipotent power as director/writer.

I think Robin Ince hit on a good point when he was asked about gervais and his anti-woke obsession. Ince was basically saying as a public figure you also have to examine who is cheering what you are saying and not just the original intent of your words. This was just after the truly awful sarah vine was lauding the 'bravery' of gervais and his weak stand up. Obviously Linehan has gone waaaaaay beyond that point now.

Same could be said for Rowling. Even her usual supporters were questioning her recent outburst.

I missed that. What??

Guessing he must have said it on one of his youtube rants while saying they cancelled his marriage.

There is a side narrative about Putins long war against the west and the ideolgical subversion that has brough us to Brexit, Trump, Q, Jimmy Crankie etc and thought it might be some fun to shine the light in here.

It is an interview sadly and not a youtube lecture but from12:05 in from here.

I dunno why it had to end up as someone like Norton having to explain this.

Funny how a healthy scepticism of MSM and asking questions of the establishment always seems to end up just blaming ‘the Jews’.

The liberal, Richard osman book club twitter grift is the biggest one out there.

Saying bad things about the tories is an actual career path these days.

cleese was irrelevant decades ago, and he can shove his many autobiographies that his writer releases everytime he gets divorced. the gb news thing is hopefully what sees him out. that massive bag of curdled ejaculate.
so far as rowling goes, I wonder if shes that 'poor single mum going coffee shop to coffee shop' and pipes up this garbage. the only thing more wooden than your writing dear is dan radcliffes horrendous acting in everything.

props to Norton as usual.

You`re wrong on so many levels ??. Cleese is very relevant today especially his comedy stuff and the Pythons. None of which has aged at all, not even a little tiny bit.
