I'm not sure it's a good look to compare a Jewish man to Adolf Hitler, even if said man is a murderous psychopath.

I'm seeing quite a few people who regularly read Cummings' blogposts who are saying that it's 100% Cummings behind the email.

It would be lol if true

no idea how theyve come to that conclusion

you dont need to be colombo to spot the multiple references to his poor long suffering wife frances etc. most of it seems to turn on various points of contention about how he acted on this and that family holiday or with his kids a decade ago etc + the extreme vitriol towards his new wife and attempt to ruin their wedding day.

Not just the Blitz: all UK military and civilian casualties of World War 2. That was around 420,000. By all means say that I'm using an overly simplistic model for dramatic effect, but frankly if a bit of drama will shake people up then I'm going to go for it. The damage the Tories have caused is obscene, but it also passes largely unnoticed because so many of the people being hurt are off the social radar.

This is going to sound awful, but I read that Pastebin article, and I just thought so what.

Like I get that it has the timing and presentation of something from a Soap Opera, but 95% of it reads like the sort of emails that both parties write to their lawyers in a heated family law case.
About the only thing vaguely shocking is the innuendo about something that sounds like statutory rape (or in one case, actual rape.)

And while that is serious, it's just a hearsay implication as opposed to an out and out accusation.

Don't get me wrong, Osborne sounds awful and is certainly a dickhead who should be forced to wear a high vis jacket on nights out that says "STAY AWAY, I WILL TRY AND SHAG YOU!'
But it just seems like a whole lot of nonsesense but it's getting love from the media as it involves their kind of people and is dressed up like a soap opera plot twist.

It is, and frankly is a relatively pointless thing to say as if he'd died in Afghanistan I'd never have known about him enough to wish it had happened.

But in general these people are gleefully using the power of the state to kill their designated enemies through starvation, malnutrition and lack of healthcare, and I have no qualms with wishing on them what they wish on those they see as lesser.

Osbourne is a completely loathsome little poo poo and what I've read and what others have said it says (I stopped reading after 60 lines or so) doesn't alter that opinion in the slightest. What I'm most surprised about is the number of women who seem to want to shag him - all those photos of him doing the tory 'power stance' he looks like a toddler with a filthy nappy.

Having myself been victim of a 'green crayon email' sent to a few of my friends & relatives by a ranting loon, and while the accusations in it were nothing like this, it was pretty horrible to experience. Some wanted to reply to the Green Crayoner but I contacted everyone i could think of who might have received it and asked not to respond in any way shape or form because it won't resolve anything and just escalate. Most of them didn't read past the first couple of paragraphs anyway which were slagging off another person before it got to the attacks on me.

Sounds to me like the ex-wife or a friend of hers, and yeah there are some serious implications in it that His Majesty's Finest should have a look into.

And I'm darn sure the wife-to-be knows all about it whatever it is.

I'm guessing it's a combination of green-ink letter, a stereotype of crank or conspiracy letters to the editor/newsletter/mailing list, and crayon letter implying childish (and email because it was an email).

Probably showing my age: back in the days when ranting loons would post letters to people complaining or whatever about something and write them in green crayon (other colours are available) or fat felt tips or basically not the usual biro or ink pen. If we got a letter like that at work we used to call them the 'green crayon letters' and handle them with care!

This might explain better

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green-ink_letter

"(chiefly Britain) A letter written to a newspaper editor, politician, etc., expressing eccentric views; such a letter is often stereotyped as being handwritten in green ink, characterized by the frequent use of capital letters and underlining, and lengthy."
