   Apropos of a conversation elsewhere c, I’ve always been given the creeps by “Jonathan Pie”. It’s always struck me as “manufactured outrage click bait culture for left wing people who think they’re too clever to fall for that.”

   The sceptics in the pub crowd had the same sort of attitude and it made them really really easy marks for the alt right to use as useful idiots in their culture war.

     @mattb Just feels so much like “someone pretending to share my agenda is trying to manipulate me into theirs” and it puts my heckles up.

     @goatsarah I must confess I was one of the idiots who fell for it early on. It was when I noticed it was co-written by Andrew Doyle that I twigged what it was.
