Rod Liddle having a column in one of Britain's foremost weekly newspapers is a national disgrace, as well as the walking, living, breathing personification and definition of white middle class privilege. thetimes.co.uk/article/half-o…
His utterances are consistently devoid of substance, characterised by ad hominem attacks, racism and superiority. It is time that @thetimes reconsidered their employment of this man.
In recent months he has:

Urged British Islamists to “blow themselves up – somewhere a decent distance away from where the rest of us live. Tower Hamlets, for example.”

Argued that “My own view is that there is not nearly enough Islamophobia within the Tory party”.
Publications that give Liddle a platform are bound by IPSO's Editor's Code which says content, “must avoid prejudicial or pejorative reference to an individual's, race, colour, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or to any physical or mental illness or disability.”
This is what Rod Liddle does time and time again, without consequences.
