Rod Liddle seems like a guy writing for the sake of writing, attention and money. He seeks to spread controversy and creates bias pieces of propaganda. Considering his 'colourful background' and the nature of his works, I have little time for Rod Liddle.

'Biased', not 'bias'. Nobody who contributes to talk pages seems to know this. Notreallydavid 10:00, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

It is quite normal for journalists to write for attention and money. The nature of the subjects tackled in his material, he is bound to create controversy. Controversy can be a very healthy thing, encouraging debate and public interest. SolarBreeze 16:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

"It was also alleged that Liddle refused to ignore the statement earlier in the year in which the MCB spoke about the Holocaust Memorial." Doesn't the author mean 'refused to acknowledge'? Notreallydavid 10:05, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

"Geordies were like "monkeys and morons", despite being raised in Guisborough, in the North East of England "

Yes, but Guisborough is about 50 miles south of Newcastle, and used to be part of Yorkshire - it's now part of Redcar and Cleveland. People who live in the area would not consider themselves Geordies.

I don’t think that Liddle was too concerned about pre-marital sex, he was more concerned with people who supposedly want to reduce the spread of STDs by telling youngsters not to use condoms. This is potentially dangerous and I can understand why he smells the scent of bullshit in the air.--Miller 23:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
