Notice that China is the only group represented by an animal. My theory is that the cartoonist spent hours trying to draw Xi but every time their editor refused to publish their extremely racist caricature.

      They always give the game away with the BBC stuff. Smarter right wingers would be increasingly talking about its credibility even as it gets more and more nakedly right-wing. Instead they complain about allowing it to have non-white hosts and not sounding enough like Fox News (even though it increasingly does).

          Yes, Andrew Neil. A man who has been on what you could call the proto-Trumpian right of British politics since the 80s. Who had an apartment in Trump tower. Who has been funded by many of thr same US billionaires that Shapiro gets funding from. Who has been the editor and force behind The Spectator, the insane but influential politics magazine that regularly runs articles like the famous ‘In defence of the Luftwaffe’ one.

          Andrew Neil is basically what Shapiro should aspire to become, taking his ghoulish place in the epicenter of the mainstream, but he never will because he cries and pisses his pants at the suggestion of having to argue with anyone but (now mostly imaginary) college students. Ben Shapiro is not a very bright boy.
