He does have some pretty reprehensible views, but he put together a half-decent documentary defending belief in god a while back. His anti-atheist rhetoric however, seems to be his only redeeming feature. Btw, the Indy is getting a fair bit of coverage from their 'new editor' story. Suzanne moore is also being touted as a candidate. The story that keeps on giving, it seems. I’m not really sure what to make of Liddle.

We don't purchase goods because of a personality cult, but because they make us feel good and clever knowing something other people don't know just like books. What is it that we will learn from this Jamaican hater that we already don't know unless he wants to come out as "gay"?

It's a shame that it's being bought by these guys. I agree that it's a boring read. I wonder where Robert Fisk will go?
