Sarah – If the money is there of course they will. Personally I’d have given the money to charity.

Not that it will influence the decision of management at the Indy who (if it were me) will obviously now employ Liddle since he certainly bring an element of colour to an otherwise drab and silly views-paper.

Anon – I know that being right wing is not a crime – that wasn’t my point at all. I was fairly bemused at Julio thinking that Jack Straw was ‘extreme left wing’ so I could only surmise that Julio must be fairly on the right to have that view.

Apart from that I agree whole heartedly with your comments about his personal & offensive comments!!

Julio – Will Straw is not responsible for the actions of his grandfather, cowardly or otherwise. He wasn’t even born then.

Jack Straw, although perhaps considered pedantic by many, is far from a left wing extremist.

I’m not here to defend anyone who supports this morally bankrupt government – the fact it’s a fag-end busted flush is plain to see – but on this blog most people are allowed space to comment and defend their positions by facts.

The fact that Rod Liddle has a friend on his Facebook page who is a member of a perfectly legal political party is hardly a story and shows how weak this article actually is but no one’s forcing you to read or respond to it.

If you do feel the urge to respond however you should really be polite and in my opinion you’re not being.

Liz – Being right wing isn’t a crime you know!

Julio p.s

The post is not smearing Rod Liddle – he does it quite effectively himself.It is merely highlighting his character & views which are already in the public domain eg his assault on his pregnant girlfriend.

Julio – wow your post is rather personal and OTT with a bit of dramatic license thrown in for extra effect. With regards to your charge of ‘left-wing extremist’ (whilst not ignoring your offensive allegation of calling labelling someone’s grandfather a coward)…I think you would have a job convincing most sane people of that… but I suppose it all depends where you sit on the right….

Someone whose grandfather was a coward and whose father is a left wing extremist and a traitor should know better than to smear other people by association.

A bit premature calling Craig an idiot for not getting the right spelling when he himself comes unstuck:

..”unfit the breathe the same air as the rest of you”…

doesn’t bode well as a potential editor apart from all his other failings….!
