Rod Liddle is the funniest man in the national press. At least if you find the amusement value of a joke greatly enhanced by the thought of all the prissy people it will offend (and I do). He is the nearest thing we have to an Auberon Waugh. I love the idea of his editing the Independent, as it is currently an unbearably humourless PC paper. The thought of the arses of Robert Fisk, Joan Smith and Yasmin Alibhai-Brown disappearing promptly out of the window is too gorgeous to contemplate. The only trouble is that he won’t be able to do as many columns (his two Sunday Times ones are regular belly-laughs; and he may have to rein himself in a bit, which would be a huge shame.

Progressives won the argument about abolishing the grammar schools. They kicked away the ladder that most intelligent poor kids used to gain a rigorous education. They were wrong to do that, as the reality of Labour trying to force badly educated comprehensive fodder into the professions shows. Won’t the progressives admit that they were wrong, fix the schools, and leave the professions alone? No, so reality is going to have to smash your philosophy to tiny little pieces.

Reading his article yesterday in The Times I hadn’t realised how far to the left he was/is.

We all know of his Labour Party bias when he worked at Today but I hadn’t realised he was a fully paid up member of Socialist Worker and sold their papers every weekend.

I’ve gone off him now.
