David Baddiel apologises for mistakenly criticising a celebrity instead of a pleb [split topic]

I think most people would read that sentence with the voice of Alan Partridge being forced to co-present "I'm fiiiine with that"

It is a marvellous time when the establishment are fucking us over so much we can have some mild relief by taking the piss out of them directly with parody accounts on the internet

[Famous Mortimer]

It's good that it's mentioned in multiple places though. He's such an awful hypocrite, weaponising anti-Semitism solely for his political opponents.

[JaDanketies]

Come watch my latest comedy special! Every anecdote starts with the sentence, "Once, someone on Twitter said to me..."

- David Baddiel

Imagine not having enough insight to realise that whenever you start a sentence with "Once, on Twitter," anyone listening rolls their eyes.

That is fun though.

[idunnosomename]

it's that he so fervently believes in russian trolls farms destroying democracy rather than... himself. in part.

anyway Trump, look out, David Baddiel is going to make another tweet calling you a stupid person. it may be curtains for you!

What it must be like to just drift through life, bumping into and bouncing off people and things like a drunk and privileged bumblebee. Having thoughts, immediately saying them, lazily looping off again. Knowing you'll never be affected by the shit you're rambling about. And such a boring twat to boot.

[Sin Agog]

Was put in charge of buying my half-sister a massive batch of fun new kids books last week, and Baddiel's offerings were plastered all over the recommendations wherever I turned.  Dude must be on some list of Moloch affiliates who are allowed to print their own money.

Has anyone seen his documentary about Holocaust Denial yet (23:30 BBC 2, last night)?

I wonder if there's any Corbyn/Labour bashing in there.

I have read one of his kids books and it is as bland and by-the-numbers as you would expect from everything he has ever done. I am amazed he has stayed popular and in any way successful. Is it an Avalon thing?

Even if there is, it's sort of tangential to the main issue isn't it?

Is holocaust denial a major issue these days? Is it RIFE?

[Utter Shit]

It's a major issue in a documentary about holocaust denial. I assume, I haven't watched it.

[idunnosomename]

Thats old isnt it? He was criticised for platforming holocaust deniers in it

"Our culture is being shaped by trolls and the Holocaust deniers are a very extreme example of the trolls. Ignoring them has not worked. It doesn't mean that confronting them will work completely but I think it's a debate we have to have."

Eggs on twitter who keep saying i wore blackface and put a pineapple on my head to mock a black man are essentially a mild form of holocaust denier

[JaDanketies]

Yeah I remember that documentary, and there was some talk of leftist Holocaust denial, which was tied into the institutionalised Holocaust denial in parts of the Muslim world. There wasn't Corbyn's face superimposed on Hitler speeches or anything though, I don't believe Corbs got a mention. It must've been at least an okay documentary.

[BlodwynPig]

Is holocaust denial rife in today's society?*

*I'm not denying holocaust denial

[Dusty Substance]

I'm looking forward to his book, about how identity politics has let down the British Jewish community, released next month. Hoping it's going to upset all the right people.

[JaDanketies]

Is holocaust denial rife in today's society?*

*I'm not denying holocaust denial

It's prominent in a handful of Muslim countries and amongst the US alt-right, to my knowledge.

Did his previous output contain much scrutiny of HD or AS, or is it only since performatively fortifying himself against online criticism? Genuine question.

[bgmnts]

Why does he think culture is shaped by internet trolls?

[king_tubby]

(not the dolls)

I do remember him doing a bit on the MWHE about being beaten up twice, once for being Jewish and once for being a 'p*ki', to be fair to him.

[Cold Meat Platter]

I wish we lived in a society where he could be beaten up simply for who he is rather than his ethnicity.
