Text of email, just sent to Dr Martin Hirst.
Dear Dr Hirst
I note that in a recent post on your blog Ethical Martini you referred to me as a “neo-nazi goon”. I find the entire phrase insulting and offensive. The “neo-nazi” tag is highly offensive and completely untrue.
If some pimply youth had written this I would probably ignore it.
However you are an experienced journalist and university lecturer and a well known media commentator.
Therefore your word has more credibility so an untruth written by you is potentially far more damaging.
Consequently I demand that you remove the offending phrase from your blog and replace it with a retraction and apology immediately.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Yours Faithfully
Trevor Loudon
ha ha lol
I thought you were off to Venezula Steve?
The ‘revolution’ need you Steve!
EXOCET
Always a pleasure to have you hijack the thread Steve…
“tj” Te Joo (remembering that it was you my friend who first utilised that insulting reference) – I really do doubt that Hirst is rushing off to his lawyers – fair comment, qualified privilege etc etc etc. Note that I do not say justification.
Trev’s moral outrage is no more meaningful than a piss in the ocean – he’s just doing it to get “famous”. And add numbers to the counter thing we see at the bottom of the page.
Now, a Mao badge secreted in a chelsea bun would be much more efficacious !
Anyway, back to really serious stuff – IDF:10 Palestinians:1
Notable that none of you armchair generals has EVER challenged that. Nice, kind friends of humanity you are. Read Lloyd Geering in the Listener the other week – if it’s available in Golders Green that is…..
Surprising Steve hasn’t blamed it all on the joos like he normally does.
Any respons from the esteemed doctor as yet?
EMAIL TO LOUDON:
ZAP……ZAP ZAP ZAP.
