Telegraph Bloggers

[Freaki Li Cuatre]

While I appreciate that it is good to have a view from the other side of the fence, I normally expect to turn to the Telegraph to read content that largely chimes with my own views.

However, the Telegraph blogosphere appears to have been taken over by Blair apologist Dan Hodges, Polly-Toynbee-lite Mary Riddell and now Martha Gill, an ex New Statesman hack who posts stuff like
Whole Life Sentences are Barbaric


Now, to add insult to injury Dellers has moved to pastures new leaving a gap for, no doubt, yet another surplus to requirement hand wringer from the Grauniad.

May be moving back to the Times. At least they've got Rod Liddle.

The Orcs of Mordor are growing in number. Lines are being drawn and the smell of battle is not far behind.

That traditional left v right wing partiality is crumbling.

These days all the papers are desperately scrabbling for any readers they can get.

All columnists gradually turn into parodies of themselves as they search for stuff to rally the troops and fill the empty page, but Delingtool had a head start. Ah yes, Delingpole the self-styled 'interpreter of interpretations', a man who is so convinced he is right about climate change that by his own admission he does not need to involve himself in the tedious business of actually reading the science.

Now the Telegraph has shown him the door and he's moved to an outlet nobody has ever heard of.

Just maybe, it was stunts like this that got him fired?

Martha Gill did a great job of winding up old farties last week with a column about what older people shouldn't say to young people. Lots of 'yoof of today' and 'in my day' rants from people who were undoubtedly being baited so they'd look at the adverts aimed at wealthy baby boomers. She makes me chuckle.

Was he actually fired? His last blog post just said he was off to pastures new.

Mel Philips was shown the door by the Mail for her frothing at the mouth on Iran whilst appearing on QT.

It's on YouTube. Take a look, it's quite an eye opener.

I actually agree with her on some things, just not her rabid Zionism.

I shall keep reading the Torygraph as long as Ambrose 'we're all doomed' Pritchard keeps blogging.

If he keeps blogging, why not just read his blog? (unless you're referring to the online Telegraph)
