As someone in my twitter mentions when I called this blood and soil said: he's going to print it out and rub it in the face of any Tory coming to his door to persuade him to vote Labour. He's an EU citizen and is loving enraged at being spoken of like this.

Boris and his band of cunts are terrified and desperate, so they're going to get as disgusting as they know how to be. But it's not going to work.

I've seen this explained away by saying that being a backbencher allowed him to hide it. Apparently the media only bothers to investigate the bigotry of party leaders.

quote:

Conservative anti-Semitism: the strange case of Boris Johnson, Richard Spencer and Gavin McInnes

An exploration into Boris Johnson's editorship of The Spectator magazine, and some of the Spectator columnist Taki's connections.

“The Jewish lobby in America has stifled debate.” - “Taki”, Spectator columnist

“Little loving kikes. They get ruled by people like me.” - Richard Spencer, former executive editor of Taki’s Magazine

“The Jews have this real hatred for white males.” - Gavin McInnnes, Taki’s Magazine columnist

...

Johnson edited The Spectator from 1999 to 2005. Throughout this time, and indeed up to the present day, the magazine employed the notoriously racist and anti-Semitic commentator Taki Theodoracopulos, better known as just “Taki”. At the time Johnson took over, Taki was already known for anti-Semitic and pro-nazi attitudes, such as a 1997 piece in defence of the revisionist historian Ernst Nolte, first published in the Spectator and later republished by a number of Holocaust denial outfits, which argued that “so much opprobrium has come to be attached to almost every aspect of the German past that it is impossible to say anything good about it without being condemned as a Nazi sympathizer. Nonetheless, it is hard not to conclude that the Germany of the past was vastly superior to [that of today]... the constant harping on about the Germans seems to be motivated by profit.” Another column, also from 1997, complained that “The younger generation of Jews who control [Hollywood] now think that there's more money to be made by dumbing down.”

If he wanted to, if he felt that those sorts of comments were unacceptable, Johnson could have fired Taki immediately after taking over The Spectator, but he chose not to. There is absolutely no question that Johnson was aware of Taki’s bigoted attitudes, as in a friendly interview from 1999, he was asked about Taki’s racism and admitted “you're right, on the whole, I'm not mad for that stuff.” Despite being “not mad for” such overt racism, he continued to employ Taki throughout his time at The Spectator.

In 2001, in the middle of Johnson's time as Spectator editor, Taki wrote an anti-Semitic column so extreme that it prompted Conrad Black, owner of The Spectator and not someone who could be accused of an unfair bias against the publication, to complain that "In both its venomous character and its unfathomable absurdity, this farrago of lies is almost worthy of Goebbels or the authors of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion... [Taki] presents the universal Jewish ethos as brutish, vulgar, grasping and cunningly wicked." Some people, on being publicly warned by their boss that they were publishing anti-Semitic material reminscent of Goebbels, might wish to change course, but Boris Johnson chose to continue publishing Taki's columns after this incident.

Since his time as an employee of Boris Johnson, Taki has continued to express the same anti-Semitic attitudes over and over again, writing that “The Jewish lobby in America has stifled debate” and that “rich American Jews... encourage unacceptable and brutal behaviour against innocents”, penning a defence of Greece’s neo-nazi Golden Dawn party, and more recently writing a column about “the heroism of the German soldiers” fighting in WWII that was originally titled “In Praise of the Wehrmacht.”

Bristol is about as left-wing as you can get in this country although there are still pockets, particularly around Southmead and Knowle. I have been chatting poo poo about Labour and Corbyn in pubs in this city so many times and no one's ever had any issues. Either you got unlucky with your neighbours or you're emphasising it.

Swish swish, like a fish
I can't help feeling like the I've not seen the tories holding the public in this much obvious disdain since 1997. Yeah, I know what era that ushered in. But still. Little memories retriggering like fireworks going off, and then I see footage of coppers hurrying Johnson out of the range of the boos and the thrown food, Corbyn coming out to crowds chanting like they're seeing a rock star...

My tired brain wants to hold on to a layer of scepticism and cynicism, focus on the bad polls and the worse headlines in the poo poo-rags, but it's grasping at smoke. Thread, I have hope and I can't help it.

Rockall. It's perfect: a British possession in the Northern Atlantic so he can spend his time harrumphing about are sovereignty while subsisting on gannet poo poo and trying not to be swept into the sea. Rockall is mentioned on the Shipping Forecast, so we could have occasional updates on his misery.

And as Wikipedia says:

I bumped into Michael Gove at a services on the M3 a little while ago. I just sort of stood there staring, dumbfounded that it was actually him, when he clocked me looking his way he quickly picked up pace to his car.
I like the idea that Gove gets spooked the second he realises anyone has recognised him.
