I'm surprised the BBC made no mention of him being a former employee of theirs, his membership of the Labour party and his column for the Guardian.

Sometimes I think about the frothing lunatics I’ve put on ignore, who will have kept replying to me again and again, but I don’t even realise they exist.

What ever his views and whether you agreed with him or not at least he always said what he thought and did not feel the need to go with the herd or group thinkers.

I'm sure it will be updated in due course. I think you're a bit out of date on your facts though, his bigotry found a home on the right.

Yes the beeb covered his work for right wing media organisations but for some reason omitted his time at their own organisation, the Guardian and his membership of the Labour party. I'm sure it was an oversight and the article will be updated.

Anyway, it's sad for his family.

It’s being fleshed out in real time. They’re starting to mention his racism now as well, so presumably his support for paedophilia will be next. Although obviously he was ‘just asking questions’.

Anyway, sad for his family I’m sure.

My esteemed law firm Sh*ts ,Giggles & Lols LLP have advised a similarly understated approach…

Thoughts and prayers to those mourning the loss.

Sometimes I giggle about the frothing lunatic who’s put me on ignore and now has to constantly log out to see what I’ve said. Beneath that counterfeit persona lurks the same pitifully desperate egomaniac.

If you read up on the history of the Paedophile Information Exchange (P.I.E.), their affiliation to the organisation now known as Liberty and the writings of Peter Tatchell who wrote that not all sex involving children was “unwanted, abusive or harmful.”, then you will realise that the right don't hold a monopoly on these sor of vile views and behaviour.
