Westwood's Tweets

Anyone doubting the authenticity of Westwood's tweets might like to visit iPlayer and listen to last week's Rob DaBank show, where the man himself reads some of his pieces out. And explains how he's "reinvented" Twitter by using it post random thoughts.

I still think that Leftists should not condemn Westwood - for all that his persona is intensely aggressive-individualist and anti-collectivist, he is nonetheless a natural far-right hate figure. I find it uneasy to read this constant piss-taking of someone who'd be called a "n*****-lover" on Stormfront.

But Robin, while Westwood's politics are admirable, are you seriously suggesting that we shouldn't snicker at his thoughts on square sausages simply because he isn't racist?

(Especially since I suspect that his Twittering is done with a tongue firmly in his cheek.)

After all, John McCrirrick is exemplary in his attacks on racism in the horseracing industry, but that doesn't make his underpants any more attractive.
