Well Mr Adam Shit-Stirrer Hilton, in 2004 (17 years ago) Charles Moore was Telegraph editor when stories about George Galloway were published, which led to a successful libel action.

The newspaper had falsely written that Galloway received payments from Saddam Hussein's regime.

Moore was Chair of free-market think tank Policy Exchange, & in 2007 (14 years ago) he entered the debate over 'The Hijacking of British Islam', a misleading & widely condemned Policy Exchange report which the @BBC had found relied on fabricated evidence.

Moore hates the @BBC, which he claims is biased against climate change deniers. 🤪

He views the threat of climate change as alarmism & in 2019 (2 years ago) claimed it's designed to produce “unprecedented government control & the relative impoverishment of western societies”. 🤪

In 2013, (8 years ago) writing about gay marriage, Moore wrote in The Spectator: "I wonder if the law will eventually be changed to allow one to marry one's dog."

In 2019 (2 years ago) he claimed Olivia Colman had a “leftwing face” & was therefore unsuitable to play the Queen.🤪

In 2015 (6 years ago), Moore wrote "It is not paranoid to say that there is a deadly enemy within [the UK] & not intolerant to want to defeat it", & Muslim immigration meant "more political disturbance, more communal tension, more intolerance of other faiths & more terrorism." 😳

Also in 2015, Moore wrote in The Spectator an article titled 'Have Yvette Cooper & Liz Kendall got the looks for a leadership contest?' "There is an understanding that no leader - especially, despite the age of equality, a woman - can look grotesque on TV win a general election."
