Neil Miller and Graham Bell on The Panel (Nov. 5, 2013)

• 5 November 2013 at 4:18 pm

  Another rabid right winger on Jim Mora’s increasingly biased panel selection this afternoon.
  Graham Bell.

  It’s actually far worse than that: the other guest is the insufferably smarmy right wingerNeil Miller.

  I’m sure Morrissey has had words about him before.

  I have indeed charted the many appearances of this obnoxious old bully. Usually he’s simply vacuous….

  Occasionally he takes a delight in cowering lesser talents into submission, as he has with Jeremy Elwood and several other “liberal” guests. It’s no doubt the kind of behaviour that gets you promoted in the Police.

  Occasionally, though, he comes up against someone with the cojones to challenge him—like Gordon Campbell. Invariably Bell collapses….

  N.B. It is instructive to note the Standard regulars who lined up to praise my coverage of that last one.

      NEIL MILLER
      On the positive side, Miller excoriated the dreadful Kerre ohoWmad, who now rejoices in the splendid moniker of “Kerre McIvor”, for this typically disgusting column….

      After that, however, he went off on a dyspeptic rant against Len Brown and John Campbell. He was so extraordinarily biased and unfair that even Jim Mora himself felt compelled to contradict him.

      GRAHAM BELL
      His Soapbox contribution was, as always, another grumble. Not about the standards of service in tea-rooms this time, but about the poor standard of customer service with Telecom.

  Known in certain circles as Gardner Bell because some say he’s really good at planting things.
