But why is it that all these wind-up merchants tend to be right wing? The list of right-wing shock jocks is endless; James Delingpole, Melanie Phillips, Jeremy Clarkson etc, but why aren’t there sensationalists on the left? I’ve met some people with left-wing viewpoints in my time who were spectacularly dense, why is no-one tapping into this market? Well someone has; step forward, Laurie Penny. The majority of Penny’s output is reactionary bullshit for the left, which is almost identikit to Littlejohn’s work; They both believe the country is fucked, but just replace immigrants, homosexuals and political correctness for Tory MPs. It’s got it all; hyperbole, hypocrisy; the works.
