....like a Collaborator scorned!

Pullman said "Recent events have aroused my anger to the point where I temporarily lost my judgment. In the heat of the moment I made a tactical error."

Liar. He never had any "judgement" worth maintaining. What he did was let his mask of peace and lurve slip to reveal the fanatical, rabid, beast that lurks beneath the facade of false bonhomie.

[ToraToraTora]

......there by demonstrating, togo, that it's the liberals that are true nasties.

[youngmafbog]

Sounds like hate speech to me. Why hasnt he been arrested, if it was a labour or liberal politician the left would be screaming from the rafters.

[Old_Geezer]

Storm in a teacup. Simple tweet of frustration. Black humour style.

[Gromit]

You tar everyone who disagrees with you as collaborators, traitors or Quislings.

1,500 collaborators were put to the rope after the war in France. While the UK were happily dangling Lord Haw Haw by the neck. Quisling was executed by firing squad.

You are guilty of the same offence as Pullman.

[youngmafbog]

What the hell are you on about Gromit?

[jim360]

It was a stupid thing to say in public.

[Spicerack]

Lol. He was busted. I'm looking forward to the trial.

Thanks Ed for redacting the offensive words from Togo's post.

I am not sure why I, or anyone, should care what a children's author has to say about politics....or is it a different bloke?

[anotheoldgit]

Had he belonged to the so called 'Far-Right' he would have been arrested.

[anotheoldgit]

Children's author!!!!

Forget blaming video games for the rise in youngster crime, I blame the books that they read.

[ludwig]

Unacceptable - like Jo Brand's battery acid 'joke'.

The OTT nature of some of the insults made lately is pretty pathetic to be honest.

It’s become very common for leftists and luvvies, both here and in the US to be quite disgusting in their words of harm to others.

The tolerant left is anything but tolerant.

Some of them have the wherewithal to walk back their vileness (usually with a but somewhere). Others will double down on what they say and think they are perfectly justified to incite violence because they are tolerant and kind people and those that disagree with them are not.

[Mozz71]

Meh, His Dark Materials is fantastic, so I'm not overly bothered about his politics.

It was a dumbass thing to say publically though.

//It’s become very common for leftists and luvvies, both here and in the US to be quite disgusting in their words of harm to others.//

Its fairly common for both left and right wingers to be vile and disgusting at the present. The whole world is fecked up.

[tonyav]

Who is he ( can't be @rsed to google ).

[Mozz71]

An author. Kinda mature kids' novels and young adult types. Bed known for the His Dark Materials trilogy of books. Atheist.

[tonyav]

Thanks Mozz, an inconsequential luvvie then.
