What could be more snowflake than creating a thread to whine about the fact that Neil has a platform other than one's Internet safe space? Irony indeed.

No, that’s not what I was saying at all.

Neil has an inordinate degree of certainty that he's right, even in the case of a volte face like Iraq. He's...

My main issue with Neil's politics is that he automatically assumes that he's right, whether that's the war in Iraq or Brexit. So when he supported the invasion, he would have assumed that anyone disagreeing with him was wrong and vice versa. Everyone has convictions but these issues are rarely pure...

So I assume that the oligarch they did the private show for pays all his tax then.
