Nick Cohen quotes:

Shallow uniformity is not an accident but a consequence of what Marxists optimistically call late capitalism.

Former lefties can make a good living in the media by attacking their ex-comrades - I'd do it myself if the price was right.

No one is as murderously 'Islamophobic' as Islamists are.

The evidence for man-made global warming is as final as the evidence of Auschwitz.

When society gives censors wide and vague powers they never confine themselves to deserving targets. They are not snipers, but machine-gunners. Allow them to fire at will, and they will hit anything that moves.

Antisemitism is unique among religious hatreds. It is a racist conspiracy theory fashioned for the needs of messianic and brutal rulers, as dictators from the Tsars to the Islamists via the Nazis have shown. Many other alleged religious 'hatreds' are not hatreds in the true sense. If I criticise Islamic, Orthodox Jewish or Catholic attitudes towards women, for instance, and I'm accused of being a bigot, I shrug and say it is not bigoted to oppose bigotry.
