…should try reading books instead of burning them
I don’t particularly like his books (I have one kicking around somewhere but I can’t remember which) and I find the man insufferable (he has what Bill Hicks would have described as a ‘fevered ego’).
That said, I like book-burners, beheaders and bigots even less. Hence…

Oh, and the honours system serves the same function in British society as a fluffer does on the set of a pornographic movie. But you already knew that.

Yeah. But I want to make clear that I also disagree with Oliver Kamm.
I concur. My views of the Mighty Kamm are on the record.
Any overlaps between my outlook and that of Kamm are purely coincidental and as rare as the proverbial rocking horse doo-doo.
