Steph Barnes (long time I know)


more when I remember

I can't stand that smug, self righteous tw@t!!!! He genuinely reminds me of Clarkson!!!


Fair enough, some of the people I've seen him interview have been talking nonsense, but his way of doing things seems to be along the lines of "if you disagree with me, you're wrong".....


Hope I'm not thinking of the wrong person here, and sure he's had worse criticism if he reads this....

You got the right person Keef. Here's an excerpt from an article he wrote last year in The Times about life in his new home in East Dulwich:


"Everyone living down my road who isn?t a baby or a mum is a semi-famous lesbian comedian who occasionally crops up on Radio 4, being gently arch about something.....Where on earth can I be? I?ll tell you where: London metropolitan suburbia. Dulwich, to be precise, a place which makes Crouch End resemble Compton on a bad day. Its very name is a giveaway, pronounced Dull Itch...But how Lordship Lane has changed! All those lovely food shops and bars and restaurants: if we can get rid of Somerfield and Iceland and Cafe Nero, we will truly be back in 1950 ? which was a much better place to be, by all accounts, except for the Korean war and the tail end of rationing, and rickets and polio. Right now we have a butcher, a few bakers, a candlestick-maker, boiled-sweet shops and a strange outlet that sells only white things. It?s like living in Trumpton."

hahahaha.

I dunno - thought it was quite funny myself. He doesn't impinge on my life much, so I don't really know much about the guy, but it strikes me that just because he wrote it, it doesn't necessarily follow that he thinks it himself. Or thinks it to that extent and with that particular slant. Perhaps he's writing in a persona, for an effect, whatever.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
