Kelvin McKenzie, what a despicable arsehole.
Things like this dont happen in a vacuum. The latest episode of News Agents has an interview with John Bercow who spent a good few minutes explaining his roots in the Monday Club, a white supremacist Tory lobbying group who supported Apartheid and was set up by Enoch Powell.
I dont think the Sun is quite the same organisation today, but it helps to see the journey. McKenzie was a regular political commentator until fairly recently and his legacy was in the news this week: Hillsborough.
They should paint it on his grave when he dies and rots in hell

The Sun wants us to pull out of international human rights laws so we can send genuine asylum seekers to Rwanda. They are every bit as despicable as ever.
The Scum indeed.
I’m from Liverpool and one of my classmates died at Hillsborough (I remember the news came through at a school disco). We don’t forget.
Fuck the Sun.
Fuck the Tories.
Fuck London.
How about Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and the rest of the north secede from England and create Neo Mercia.
If you’re concerned that your college age “offspring” can’t be trusted to choose what they learn and who they learn it from, you’ve failed as a parent.
Fuck the S*n.
He turned down an OBE, I will always respect him for that. RIP Benjamin
If hes nice yeah, is the only answer that civilized people give.
Kelvin McKenzie is a cunt, film at 11.
The Scum*
Knowing nothing of him aside from the supposed quote I would merely question his merits. Honestly I’ve never heard of him. Could somebody give me a representative sample of his poetry?

Google is your friend. He’s one of the top 50 UK poets in the last century, he was honoured by the crown, he’s a very respected poet.
Having zero knowledge of him, I was asking for what people considered works that are representative. I did get one suggestion. Google can be rather hit or miss on lots of things these days. Most of my results were that he died yesterday.
I gave one here, which links to his website.
Talking turkeys is probably his most well known.
