I'm looking forward to the documentary. I've saw him say it was about "online hate" so I'm sure it will cover his mate Giles Coren's recent behaviour on Twitter.
David Baddiel is fond of saying that X or y are "complicated" or "complex" and that he is an intellectual who looks at things intellectually. Problem is he doesn't say much else.
He is of the "twitter was fabulous before the plebs joined" ilk. He has said India Knight recommended it to him saying it was like being at the most fabulous cocktail party in the company of the wittiest guests. And that it was initially. Presumably until ordinaries joined in.
In this clip he talks about taking trolls "down" by saying something funny and that his other followers liked this. Cool, that's alright then. Isn't that a bit like what we do here? Take the piss out of SH and other people here like it?
(His book on antisemitism is supposed to be very good though.)
