You can say what you like. Just don’t expect there to be no consequences.

Maybe there are just too many people saying too much.

Whatever it cost her, I imagine it's a fraction of what she's earned down the years peddling all manner of sub-Littlejohn drivel (and that's going some) to an echo chamber audience. In PH terms, its similar to getting a speeding ticket every few years despite driving over the limit everywhere all the time. Just take it on the chin.

She wasn't even very good at the NME tbh. Nor was fellow frother Tony Parsons.

It seems a sad fact a lot of these old music journos seem to get a bit right wing as the get old and ugly. Same as tony parsholes has.
The did come along after punk and ska and pretty much that whole scene was quashed as we went back to seperate silos of musically activity than never met. So maybe they were always like that.

Just reading her wiki... grim person.

"Burchill's second son, Jack Landesman, committed suicide in late June 2015, aged 29"

and from today.... "She further apologised for "liking" posts which called on Sarkar to commit suicide"

Just wtf.

Same as everyone else I suppose, with age comes wisdom, that's why having 23 year
old high court judges is not a good idea.

Do you think the topic of this thread suggests she is wise?

Did you really just equate people becoming right wing with wisdom derived from life experience? Jesus wept.

What a piece of work.

That should cause many resident 'snackbar' posters here to take stock and think about what they spout.

But it won't.

Still it is good to see these peddlers of hate in the UK media finally made to swallow their own bile and admit - in writing no less - that they are indeed guilty of acting like racist twunts.

Stirling Publishing must have a moral bypass - seems their website has gone down.

Reading her recent tweets suggests she doesn't seem to have learnt from this.

No, Why would it be OK for anyone? All racism is wrong. What a strange comment.

I believed in Julie, when she said how easy it would be
And I believed in Tony, and his written words of anarchy
And I believed in Joe, when he said we had to fight
And I believed in Jimmy, when he told us to unite
Where are they now?

Julie Birchill...



Her son sadly committed suicide in 2015.

Horrible woman.
