I followed the link to his blog and was alarmed to see that the first reader comment mentions something about "handbags at dawn". Is this not a response of dubious attitude? The reader has resorted to stereotype because the topic is same-sex. You see, we can all play this game of casting stones.

Many of them don't read hence Mr Iain Dale's inability to distinguish what's from what. In any case it's hard to understand why he took an interest in Roger Lewis in the first place. A glance at Dale's Biteback, which incidentally is linked to Robson Books which brought out the Dusty Springfield book you mention, reveals a taste for literal fact and humourless anecdote.

There are however many types and degrees of abuse and humour and it is perfectly possible to distinguish one thing from another where there's the will. Any familiarity with Lewis' work establishes him as a comic misanthrope with scarcely a good word for anyone (including himself) - the absurdly exaggerated abuse, comically turned (though perhaps not to everyone's taste or experience) is one small clue as to intent.<br /><br />Evelyn Waugh used to be asked to contribute pieces in 'his usual style'. It was understood where he was coming from. Likewise with Lewis.<br /><br />If you like to think that Lewis is capable of a 'homophobic rant' then you really need to get in more and start reading.

True some people have got into trouble but I guess Mr Lewis will get away with his homophobic rant about Lesbians and with his abuse of Iain Dale. And the owner of this blog will get away with his silly comments as well. It's just too easy to trade in abuse. More difficult is to criticise politely. So Lewis and Arcati don't do it. #FAIL Paddy Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847108655078927970noreply@blogger.com
