Thanks to James for this response to the current Private Eye cover.
Sir,
I was outraged to spot this month’s Private Eye magazine cover this morning!
I used to think Private Eye was a little funny!
However you have sunk to the depths of Nu-Liebour and associate a democratic political party with nearly a million voters and two MEPs with an evil and murderous, racist dictatorship.
Make no mistake, I will bring your filthy rag to the attention of every internet media outlet possible and every news channel (There is also bound to be at least one non-Marxist/left wing bigot at the the BBC who will be interested in legal ramifications of your printed material!)
Defamation, incitement?
Yours,
Robert Everett

I’m not sure what I find funniest about this. I mean, he thinks Hitler comparisons actually cause Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons offence rather than, say, spontaneous erections. He thinks Private Eye might actually worry about lawsuits before doing a print run. But best of all, he’s elevated whining about shite on the internet from “boring person’s hobby”, straight past “revolutionary activity” and all the way to “serious and potentially destructive threat”. Grab that keyboard and fight the power Robert!

And he thinks Private Eye is monthly, the gonad.
Have to say I think this one is a plant by a reader, ekshully.
That will show them.
I personally like he apparently thinks that Private Eye NEEDS his help to attract attention.
Not to mention the fact that the history of NSDAP’s rise to power of course included being a “democratic political party with nearly a million voters” etc. D’oh.
I for one totally agree, the comparison is entirely invalid.
The Nazis had *no* MEPs
Ho ho ho, “Nu-Liebour”. Yes, yes Robert’s got something there. I bet he also refers to “Tony Bliar” and “Gormless Brown”.
I wonder, will the tsunami of punning wit ever end?
And after destroying Private Eye, Robert and his friends will move on to bomb Bradford.
But not Hull. There aren’t enough Muzzies there. Obviously.
Where did Rob the Nob’s letter first appear?
Indeed, how could they associate a democratic political party with over seventeen million voters with a bunch of half-witted amateurs like the BNP.
His name rings a bell. Not a Regular Twat is he?
If I weren’t white I’d be tempted to join the BNP for shits and giggles, now it’s an inclusive, equal opportunities extreme right fascist party.
Honestly, what would Hitler say!
I wonder if they’d accept me if I blacked up? One one hand it’s acceptably racist enough for them. On the other, I’d still look, y’know, like *them*. And I’d make the group photo from their big annual racist picnic look funny.
He forgot to say that he was cancelling his subscription.
It’s the first letter in issue 1246 of PE (October 2nd). Which is what makes me suspicious, as that position is often reserved for fake/joke/windup letters from readers.
But Cheb is right – the name does ring a bell.
It’s the name of a scientist, and actor and a US politician. With that in mind, I think PE would have chosen a different name if they truly were making this letter up.
A quick google for Robert Everett reveals him to be an occasional poster on BNP forums, so, sadly, he appears to be a real twat rather than a parody.
Noooo, not sadly, means he’s worth taking the piss out off
It’s both saddening and strangely a good thing at the same time, I think. I mean these loons are a blight on society but a constant source of comedy.
I do sometimes wonder whether Utopia would be a place where everyone is bored shitless all the time. Would there be any good art or music if it had nothing to rail against?
OK, fair enough then – as you were.
I’ve just had a word with Mrs random punter, who actually does work at the beeb, but is ensconced in the kitchen at the moment getting my grub ready – I mean, “working from home” today, and she assures me that despite Rob’s hopes, there aren’t any non-Marxist/left wing bigots left there any more. They were all disappeared in the last pogrom, which was carried out in secret last year while the proles were distracted by John Sargent in Strictly. However, she said that she’ll give Rob a ring on his wife’s mobile at 4.22 tomorrow and see if she can help.
He also has a rather embarrassing profile picture on Dugg (whatever that is).

Amusingly he is a 40-year-old goth. Double the twat for the price of one.
Digg’s a bunch of arse, but just occasionally it tells the truth.
Okay, img tags don’t work.

I step back in amazement that a 40yr old Goth BNP supporter has no friends.
Poor Nazi No-Mates.
I wonder about his call for the “one non-Marxist/left wing bigot” at the BBC.
Does he believe a bigot who is not left wing or Marxist is the only person who’ll care.
Or is he looking for someone who is either not a Marxist or is a left wing bigot, in which case does anyone not fit that description?
Off-topic, but here’s the most extreme version of the mangling of New Labour I’ve ever seen. From a Guardian topic on the Post Office strikes:
My first blockquote attempt so it’s guaranteed to go wrong….
Wow it worked. I missed off the details of the author of this work of fierce genius though: UncleVanya
Isn’t it sweet how seems to spend his time looking for BNP articles on the interwebs, to DIGG them. I demand the Immediate removal of this goverment and the almost immediate installation of the bloke…NOW!!!11
Limni
You didn’t name the poster but I am certain it is somebody called Uncle Vanya. Is always on there using weird names for New Labour and made-up words like ‘gubbermunt’. Twat.
Oh, and according to him New Labour are Marxist. Yeah because privatising public services is exactly what Marxists do.
Haha! I just found the post, and evidently Chris isn’t the only fucking psychic round these parts.
Cheb – Impressive nutter spotting, you’re good at this.
Perhaps…… too good?
It takes one to know one.
I think you’re all being a bit mean, implying he has no mates. He has loads of them – they’re all in this alphabetical list I found on t’interwebs – you know, the one where I found his phone number for the Mrs to use tomorrow.

Has anyone seen this article yet? It’s fuckign disgusting. Luckily the commenters seem to have some sense, surprisingly.
The Mail on how civil partnerships lead to the suspicious deaths of former boy band members
Good god, that’s a really unpleasant, blatantly homophobic hatchet piece. Makes you wonder if “Jan Moir” doesn’t have a bit of a problem with sexuality.
Not being a regular reader of the Mail, I’m not sure whether that’s a low point or the average.
Anyways, she’s got less sense than a 15yr old who’s discovered porn.
People go to sleep and not wake up all the time, it nearly happened to me and I’m only here because my wife was very nearby.
Don’t worry, Twitter is pelting her with faeces. Worked for #trafigura. The Heil are homophobic scum? Who knew?
I encountered someone recently who was defending the BNP because some nice people he knows voted for them. He didn’t like the insinuation that they might be ignorant cretins rather than evil morons. But I think that the ignorant cretin vote is the BNP’s best bet.
Q.E.D
Fucking hell, the twat is all over the web. Just type ‘gubbermunts’ into google.

Cunt, methinks!
I really think Vanya needs his own thread here, assuming he’s not just a spoof. I looked at his profile and apparently he’s 64. I always imagined him as a spotty 22-year-old member of the Young Conservatives in an Alan Partridge jumper.
“whining about shite on the internet from….”
How does whining about whining about shite pan out? I suppose when I come here I am whining about whining about whining about shite.
I would also suspect the letter is a spoof – the last 2 words don’t read exactly likely.
We’ve addressed this though Neil – the guy’s on BNP forums and on the membership list that was leaked – see Mr Poo’s link above.
By the way Neil, we’re not whining, we’re laughing ourselves silly at the idiocy these people spout.
I did like the response from a reader in Eye 1247, pointing out the printing error that one of their “From the Message Boards” spoofs had mistakenly been printed as a genuine letter.
“…Of course he might also want to consider the idea that if the BNP doesn’t want to be associated with Nazis, then perhaps they should stop associating with Nazis…”
Neil, have you not had your moment of clarity yet?
chris, it’s reaching the point now where I see Neil as something of a Care in the Community case.
Call me a sentimental old fool, but I’m actually pretty fond of him.
You sentimental old fool!
I sense a touch of the snarky about Neil lately. It’s almost like he’s realised no-one gives a fuck and he’s getting angry about being ignored and called a cuntwipe.
Come on now, it’s like picking on a kitten. A delusional kitten that got in over its head.
Is that the same Mr Robert Everett from Nottingham who is was on the leaked BNP members list that’s on wikileaks so that you can make abusive telephone calls to his mobile number and post lots of poo-poo through his door?
Yep!

On a completely unrelated note I was entertained to read this bit (with regards to the HYS British Comedy is the Bestest article):
“It is disengenuous to say the the Thick of It, HIGNFY or the News Quiz on R4 show the BBC as politically unbiased because these programmes often attack NuLabour. These programmes only every attack from the far-left point of view not from the far-right or even the right.
And I don’t mean the fascist BNP ‘far-right’ I mean from the point of view of those of us who are ‘all individuals’ rather than slaves of an over-powerful state machine. Where is our comedy BBC?
It died with Hancock.”
He’s not an alias, he’s an individual!
To be fair to the kitten, it would have given up a long time ago.
Oh dear. Amusing sock puppets don’t work in the wrong thread.
Where are Gobbler and Spesh and the rest these days?
And why has Mr. Everett not been referred to as some form of alliterative animal genitalia?
The tabby cat’s scabby twat.
