For those who have enjoyed Mr. Monbiot's article may I recommend this blog which is where I found the link. I am ever grateful to those who read and extract interesting pieces from the verbiage that makes up much of the UK press and I think we owe these heroes a round of virtual applause.

I suspect a few of you might also be pleased to see yourselves referred to as 'youngsters'.

Er, no, not exactly. Or, indeed, at all.

He said that people who take in lodgers should be given tax breaks so to do

Similar to the the policy John Major put in place in 92/3?

Got to hand it to these original thinkers like Monbiot....

Oh for a tax break, I can only wish being single, white, full time employed, no kids and driving a car.

Someone seems to have upset that nice mild Mr. Monbiot.

That is the absolutely the funniest thing that I have seen in ages.

How on Earth did you find this thread, George? Were you massaging your ego by Googling yourself?

An intellectual snob who can only get his way by talking over everyone with whom he debates...

...Hi, George, one of the best half hours of my life was spent listening to Melanie Philips getting one over you on Radio 4 a year or two ago. I look forward to more of the same on your forthcoming triumphal tour of delusion.

Looking forward to a little humility from you when your pet MMGW theory finally bites the dust...

Gird your loins, not long now, old fruit...

Hello Mr Moonbat!

[mybrainhurts]

Hey, George, I see you've had a problem or two along the way...

Your website says...

You were shot at, beaten up by military police, shipwrecked and stung into a poisoned coma by hornets....pronounced clinically dead in Lodwar General Hospital in north-western Kenya, having contracted cerebral malaria....joined the roads protest movement....hospitalised by security guards, who drove a metal spike through your foot, smashing the middle bone.

Tell me something...

Can't you take a hint...?

A less egotistical man might have paused to wonder why he was so despised.

That’s the funniest thing I've ever read in the Gurniad . . . . . a column by somebody claiming they had been taken out of context and that they were merely making a point , then taking everybody else out of context, when they were just making a point . something tells me that most people wouldn’t want to actually kill the delusional loony (I’d be happy just to dip him head first in boiling oil)

Oi Monbiggot, why not join up and actually debate the theory you claim is real . . . oh I forgot, there’s no money in posting on PH, unlike lecture tours and writing Gurniad articles

Not to mention the fact his debating tactic doesn't work on forums, you can't shout people down on here.

[hornetrider]

Good lord, this is priceless. The irony in defending his "drown the airline execs" statement, yet in the same piece refer to PH members "inciting violence" on a genuine level is astonishing!



What a spectacular own goal!

YOUR’RE WRONG LALALALALLALALALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING, hmmm I think you have a point with that one

OK, how about this (as we all know George is listening)

Moonbat V Pistonheads

Live Debate
Subject: Man made global warming - scientific truth or a load of hooey to con people out of their hard earned money
Location: Anywhere George likes / TBA

Sponsored by Pistonheads none warmists . . . . . and no Monbiggot that doesn’t mean we’re paying you to turn up, it means we will underwrite the cost of hiring a decent venue, publicity and maybe some sausages on a stick for the participants. I’m happy to donate the office staff needed to organise it.

[Blib]

Will the wood for the sausage sticks come from a renewable forest?

My dearest Blib.

I'm happy to confirm that the wood for the sausage sticks will be tropical hardwood, freshly cut from the finest and remotest parts of the South American rain forests, the timber will then be lovingly wrapped in Polar Bear pelts to protect them on their arduous journey to the UK, to ensure that they get here intact, we will be arranging for each section of timber to travel independently on its own chartered Boeing 707.

Once in the UK each tree trunk will be turned upon a lathe and finally burnished on the thigh of a mink clad Latvian prostitute, prior to being plunged into one of Marks and Spencer’s best mini sausages (corporate sponsorship opportunity here, Tonker / Soovy, can I leave you to arrange as all I have in my head now is Samba pa ti by Santana!)

To ensure that we do our bit for the environment, the shavings from the lathes will be recycled by shipping them back to the rain forests, to be used as kindling for jungle clearance used to produce the beef required for the PH teams mini Beef Wellingtons (sorry George, only for the PH team, wouldn’t want anybody to accuse you of being in it for the money / food)

We shall of course also be dispatching a crack team of cheese and cracker hunters to northern France by Rolls Royce / Bentley and by Lear jet to Hawaii for the ingredients required for the cheese and pineapple hedgehog.

With this, I’m almost ashamed to say that my sister reads Moonbats nonsense in the Gurniad . . . . the only excuse I can think of is that her IQ is almost 30 points lower than mine, don’t pity her too much though chaps, it’s still half a dozen higher than Gordon “winky” Browns

[Blib]

In that case, I'm in! I'm ready and waiting for your Georgie baby!

And a PH response on that thread

"Whilst appreciating the term “youngsters”, I would like to correct the impression that PH is populated with kids (there are some that much is true) the vast majority are sober average guys (some business owners) who share an interest in all things motoring.

It is renowned (and has been so since day one), as a sardonic abrasive community that pokes fun at all manner of things, and where freedom of speech (however distasteful) is supported and indeed fought for.

The fact that some Journo who supports the current PSEUDO SCIENCE, takes these comments out of context to hype his profile should surprise no one!

There are many retired and serving Police officers on the forum (and have been since day one. I have no doubt, that were these comments not seen as being the written equivalent of bar room banter, then the doors would already be coming off hinges.

God help the young if the days of irreverant (yes sometimes shocking) remarks are to be eliminated due to people like Moonbiot!!"

Did that pass moderation?

Yep I just cut and pasted from the page, theres a thanks from the Blog owner as well

Ah, right, misread it and thought you had posted on the Monbiot blog. Hence the question.

I doubt HTL would have any qualms about almost any response - one of the good things about open and honest blogs.

Er, no, not exactly. Or, indeed, at all.

He said that people who take in lodgers should be given tax breaks so to do, and that people who under-occupy their homes should be penalised via the tax system.

Funnily enough, he has two lodgers.

When dealing with tits like Monbiot, it behooves us to make sure we have our story, and his, straight.

Edited by CommanderJameson on Sunday 16th January 22:22

People who take in lodgers already DO have a tax break. Hasn't he heard of the "Rent a Room" scheme?
