It’s a long time to wait but Angus Deayton might need an alibi
If this wasn’t a random attack but was targeted at Hislop, this would be an extremely chilling development – an assassination attempt on one of the few public voices who holds the feet of the wealthy and powerful to the fire.
A gun gun, or an air gun, gun?
He said it ricocheted off his windshield.
10am.
Private Eye will have a lot of enemies but are any really mad enough to shoot someone.
If this was a real assassination attempt then I’m a banana.
Are the fascists moving on to trying to kill journalists now?
They already killed a politician (Jo Cox) and threatened High Court judges who ruled against them.
Now they’re moving on to the next step of quashing dissent.
If Hislop were a conservative, he would have smeared a packet of ketchup on his ear and claimed that his life was spared by God as the chosen one!
We’ve been thinking about Trump, but Ian Hislop is who we should really be scared about!
Hislop is not just a national treasure he’s practically the only thing holding successive UK governments to account
That’s awful and horrifying and I hope he’s okay
*“But if there were a death penalty this wouldn’t have happened! Checkmate, Hislop!”*: Priti Patel
That’s horrendous, hope he’s not too shook up from the attack. I bloody adore the man, a natural satirist with a sharp mind, and a bullshit detector bar none. I am forever in awe of his inestimable organ. May he sleep soundly.
