Rod Liddle’s Views On Disability
I used to read the Independent once a week for a journalism class when I was at university. After leaving university, however, I discovered Comment Is Free and developed a close friendship with all things Guardian. So I forgot all about the Independent.
Until all the good journalists and bloggers on my Facebook list joined a Facebook group titled “If Rod Liddle Becomes Editor Of The Independent, I Will Not Buy It Again.”
The more I learnt about Rod Liddle, his actions and his views, the happier I was that I, too, have joined this group- and the more I realised that I would never read any newspaper that had a person with such views as its editor. He’s racist to ethnic minorities and abusive to women- both attitudes I can’t stand.
Thanks to the Facebook group, I have now discovered that Rod Liddle is disablist as well as everything else. I’m now even more glad to be supporting the campaign to prevent him becoming editor of the Independent. I am writing this post to urge all those of you who have an interest in journalism in the UK to join the group and support the campaign, if you haven’t already.
In my opinion, the only organisation Rod Liddle should be joining is the BNP. I sincerely suggest that he should consider becoming a member of this ‘political party.’
