PRIVATE EYE & NICK COHEN

Had to make this today after reading that (genuine) quote from Ian Hislop, editor of Private Eye. Nick Cohen has been a known creep for decades. He got his nickname “the octopus” due to how frequently he’d grope female colleagues, safe in the knowledge that his power and prestige would protect him Cohen’s political views are also rancid: he pushed for the Iraq war, is pro-Israel, anti-trans and hates the left, and would write about all these things in The Observer, The Spectator and Private Eye. The following is from a New York Times article by Jane Bradley about how a Financial Times article about these allegations was spiked to protect both Nick Cohen and The Observer/Guardian

COALITION OF BIGOTS

After the fantastic and unexpected news from last night’s election, albeit with the end result being a Coalition of Bigots between the Tories and DUP, I think it’s about time we got started building that Anti-Thatcher Museum I was on about awhile ago.I reworked the old Tory logo into something more approrpriate and I’m taking pre-orders for screenprinted t-shirts of it in order to raise some funds to get the museum off the ground. If you’d like one they’re £15 from hereI’m going to be working on the museum with Gavin Grindon who curated the The Museum of Cruel Designs at Dismaland, Disobedient Objects at the V&A and the museum on the Israeli occupation inside the The Walled Off Hotel. It’s going to take awhile, but it’s going to be good!Onwards!
