Like Guest, English Patriot above I have followed Burchill's writing since her early days at NME. I didn't like her ill-informed, highly-biased, semi-illiterate stuff then and I still don't, despite being somewhat left-wing myself. I can't help noticing that she has sold her journalistic soul to the radibly ring-wing Mail, the left-wing Guardian and now to Murdoch's Times.

She would indeed do well as a "trolling guest" here.

Irrespective of that, I cannot really comment on the Guardian's reported anti-Jewish slant, not being a reader, although if it is as reported, I would be very disappointed as it is particular Israeli regimes, such as the incumbent one, that give rise to serious concern rather than Israel in general. I think particularly of Rabin's efforts to secure peace in this respect.

Peace
