As Rod Liddle has died, I notice this column I wrote in 2019 about his attacks on people with M.E. is on the most read again. Rebekah Brooks, of News UK, described Liddle today as “provocative”. In reality, he spread lies about very sick people for cash. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Fall of Rod Liddle: From Satire to Right-Wing Rhetoric
Zoe Williams reflects on the transformation of Rod Liddle, a former left-leaning satirist who shifted to right-wing rhetoric, attacking marginalized groups like Muslims, immigrants, and transgender individuals. The article critiques sanitized obituaries that overlooked his harmful legacy, highlighting his early self-deprecating humor versus his later toxic nationalism. Williams recalls their friendship in the 1990s, noting Liddle’s evolution into a race-baiting figure fueled by capitalist media agendas. She condemns his attacks on Yasmin Alibhai-Brown and his promotion of Islamophobic narratives, lamenting how his persona masked systemic issues. The piece underscores the ethical dilemma of discussing a deceased person’s flaws while mourning their past contributions. Williams ultimately mourns the loss of Liddle’s former self and the world that shaped him.
