Stephen Pollard

Following on from the last post, I wonder about Oliver's views on Stephen Pollard' blog. Oliver said:

The blogosphere, in short, is a reliable vehicle for the coagulation of opinion and the poisoning of debate


and of course Stephen Pollard, in his infamous Maida Vale Manifesto, which only appeared in blog format, said:[1]

The mainstream Left has demonstrated clearly which side of the battle to preserve Western civilisation and freedom it is on. The Left, in any recognisable form, is now the enemy.



Coagulation and poisoning of debate. Is there a better example?

[1] This was a competitor to the Euston Manifesto. That has about 3000 signatories, a year on. The Maida Vale manifesto has less than 6 in the same time period.
