Evil Misinformation From UKIP

  • Darwinism is 'just a theory'...
  • We are about to go into a new ice age
  • Global over-heat is just a scam to create an excuse for new taxes
  • Roger Harrabin cannot be trusted because his salary ultimately comes from government sources...
The above rubbish, contained in this leaflet, a laughable farrago of misinformation and poppycock (albeit laced as such farragos often are with a number of truths), is what UKIP MEPs are offering voters to 'inform' them with regard to the most serious threat of our time: manmade climate change. 

These people are elected Parliamentarians.  Shudder, at the thought of more of these dangerous cretins being elected on June 4.

That leaflet is barely legible. I'm sure UKIP believe in social Darwinism...

UKIP MEPs are creationists? Crikey.

The misinformation on climate change is appalling.

I expect they also believe that the moon landings were faked and that the earth is flat.

I've had a comment on my blog from UKIP's press office on a post I did about this leaflet.

They deny it's one of theirs. Do you have a source?

A party stalwart had it pushed through his letterbox.

I suggest that if UKIP and the MEPs pictured are really unhappy about it they should attempt to prosecute whoever is sending out this vile literature in their name!

Medialens under the lens, over Syria and Libya: Becoming the new Dave Sparts?

I have long been an active supporter of Medialens ( http://www.medialens.org/ ). Like many others, I have supported them with money, time, tips, and I have been proud to have done so. For they have done very important groundbreaking work over the years challenging the inanities and distortions of the 'mainstream' media. They have for example written important critiques of mainstream media coverage of dangerous climate change, of Iraq Body Count, of the corporate nature of most of our media, and much more besides. They have held the corporate media to account time and again. They ought to be saluted for all of that. It is therefore with a sense of deep regret (as well as of some foreboding) that I have finally to write to address the ways in which, lately, some of the wheels seem to be coming off their wagon. An early warning sign perhaps was their long-running spat with George Monbiot, over the Rwandan genocide and the terrible atr...

Reasonable manners, in the blogosphere

Dear readers of Rupert's Read; One thing I am pleased about about this blog is that when we have had debates or disagreements here, they have virtually always been good-tempered. Because the norm out there in the blogosphere is often not like that. Take 'Comment is Free', for example, on the Guardian Unlimited site: the level of debate on CIF is pretty awful, frankly, in terms of civility. It is a very unpleasant place to take part in any debate, generally, unless perhaps (as most commenters do) one hides behind the veil of anonymity (which 'ain't allowed' here). And the truth is, in case any fellow commenters reading this don't realise it, that there are many many people who get put off even reading (let alone posting to) CIF because of the volume of plain nasty comments that they risk getting, when they do. I am slightly singling out CIF here, because I believe that this is actually one of the worst places on the blogosphere in terms of this kind of ...
