I am a huge fan of Godfrey Elfwick, whose tweets and interviews have lead me to conclude he is the funniest man on this planet today. And he is really on form today 😀

    This fellow sends lefties into paroxysms of spluttering rage! He is like the anti-Ben Elton. Pure fucking genius.

  • Patrick Crozier

    Sometimes I worry that he’s giving them ideas.

  • Bod

    When I grow up, I want to be Godfrey Elfwick.

  • Paul Marks

    Sadly to many leftists this is not a joke.

    The left really do believe in this stuff.

    And the left control the education system and the mainstream media (including the entertainment media).

    We may laugh at all this.

    But the children and “Stepford Students” are taught to believe in it.

    They are spiritually black in the struggle against capitalism.

    Bwahahaha! The BBC got duped by him again, after falling for his Star Wars interview before:

    Update: An earlier version of this story contained a quote from a satirical tweet, which we’ve removed.

    No it’s not a joke – it’s a career!!

  • That is what this is about John 🙂

  • ‘Racial imposter’ – the world has gone mad.

  • Cal

    His Twitter replies are great too: “I’ll perform that survey tomorrow and upload my findings. Thank you.”

    @Perry, I stand corrected …and, frankly, astounded! 🙂

    It is just…perfect.

    Strange times…

  • “Skin colour has nothing to do with the colour of a persons’ skin.”

    Brilliant.

  • Skin colour has nothing to do with the colour of a persons’ skin.”

    What’s amusing is that sentence would be impossible to construct in a lot of other languages. Imperialists, the lot of ’em. 🙂

    From Alisa’s link:

    If gender is merely a matter of self-identification, should not race be also?

    Indeed. And the elephant in the room, of course, is that sexual orientation has never been about anything other than self-identification.

    That’s always the case with satire, no matter how ham-handed (which this isn’t). I’d bet my last dollar an alarming number Swift’s contemporaries thought A Modest Proposal” was serious.
