I loathe Hislop as much as I loathe the nasty-but-dim Mercer. Archived Message Posted by Morrissey on January 27, 2021, 6:45 pm, in reply to "Re: DUM BRITONS Exhibit 4: Johnny Mercer" He's one of the most maliciously gleeful persecutors of Julian Assange, and his complacent editorship has seen a drastic decline in the once great Private Eye. The plummet in quality there is due to the fact that the regular writers on that "satire" magazine include Francis Wheen and the simple-minded Nick Cohen.
