She's a gobshite who sometimes has something worthwhile to say.

 

This latest furore is ridiculous. Ash Sarkar got on her high horse over that idiot Rod Liddle joking about not becoming a teacher because he'd like to bang the pupils. Burchill invoked the Muhammad/Aisha controversy and the result is that Burchill has now been cancelled. 

At least Burchill herself acknowledges that criticism of her actions weren't "ridiculous" and that she defamed someone, meaning that she's got more to worry about than allegedly being "cancelled."

SD and Rico would be quite happy to have a law change that made it fair game to say anything about a person as long as they were considered to be politically left of centre , even though the malicious right are the biggest problem in this country.

[sir roger]

I am sure it would have been an 'easy mistake' in a similar situation the other way around.

 

She is a horrific cunt and has got rich off being a horrific cunt for years.

What the fuck are you on about?

Not sure what was worse what Burchill wrote or that she admits to having Rod Liddle as a friend

That first paragraph, followed by "not my intention to be defamatory".

 

What a horrible old cunt.

Oops.

My understanding is that she got confused between Muhammad and Allah. Easy mistake to make if you are not religious but an expensive one. I reckon "substantial damages" plus legal costs she will be looking at £500k plus. Although she been a journalist for a long time I suspect it is not that well paid that you would have £500k in a savings account waiting for a rainy day and she's no stranger to coke either so a lot of her cash probably went that way.  That's the problem with being a high profile columnist knocking out under researched quotes on Twitter whilst pissed, its a high wire act and one day you fall off. Her and Katie Hopkins have both lost their balance and fallen, Rod Liddle will be next. 

Nah, he will just stick to easy targets, like Scousers.

There's more than enough malice in supply at the moment for the right to have a monopoly.

That's just what her solicitor has written. Burchill has never been that eloquent.

Something symbolic about him shouting into the void, to no discernible effect.

 

(I'm not feeling particularly positive today.)

Is anyone surprised that Sharon Osbourne, who admitted to sending her kids shit to people in the post, is a cunt?

Did you see her on Would I Lie to You, where she admitted that she fired a PA who refused to reenter a burning building to retrieve her stuff?

Feels like 99.9% of the British media is composed of these fuckers now, just endlessly abusing people, getting into feuds and twitter spats yet don't have any actual discernible impact on journalism. When was the last time any of these people produced anything of genuine public interest?

To be fair Sharon did once wake Ozzy up with a tray of coke spelling out his name.

Sharon Osbourne is one of the biggest cunts in the music business.

Dont think Ozzy so much married Sharon as Don Ardens daughter.

Cobblers. Cobblers are to blame, ever since the British shoe repairer effortlessly moved between re leathering a Chelsea boot to cutting a spare chubb key plenty thought they could easily repeat the trick. Burchill was actually a more than competent music writer many years ago but has found extending her repertoire to serious social issues disastrously more difficult than musing over the merits of the new Donny Osmond long player.

I see those precious snowflakes have been getting triggered and cancelling things again - this time that hotbed of Marxist radicalism the BBC, again, for not sacking and flogging Naga and Charlie Stayt for ribbing some bent as fuck Tory for using the Union flag and the Queen as props during an interview.
