If Your Name's Not Down

If you are still good at being bouncers, then why retire?



Jeremy Corbyn's call for Julian Assange to be pardoned has set off all the worst people in the world. They have made it their excuse to revisit their bitter, cranky and envious vendetta against the memory of John Pilger, whose family has set up that wonderful site with all of his films and a very great deal more besides. No one will ever do anything remotely comparable to that for any of them. And boy, do they know it.

Do they still write for The Jewish Chronicle? Even David Aaronovitch, David Baddiel, Jonathan Freedland and Hadley Freeman have all walked out of that in disgust. But not so Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner. What about the Pilger Bilge Boys?

  1. Pilger was editor-in-chief of News on Sunday so you must see him as one of your predecessors.
