Does anybody watch Sargon of Akkad?

[IceAgeComing]

Carl of Swindon, to use his actual name, is 100% proof that some people will always trust a person who has a posh southern accent no matter how accurate the guff they say is.  He also is a person that has a very great skill that lots of people wish they had: namely the ability to make it seem like he knows a lot more about things than he actually does, even though any real check of the sources that he uses to support his views show that in many cases they are misrepresented or misunderstood by Carl: I'd always assume the former since I don't like implying that people are stupid.

Normally this would be something that could easily be ignored or laughed at like lots of the people who peddle #Analysis but what makes Sargon worse than those people is that he acts as a useful idiot for the far right: claiming to be a "classical liberal" or whatever label he's using this week while focusing entirely on the bug bears of the hard right: migrants, muslims and people who fight for social and economic justice whilst saying nothing when the likes of the English Defence League (at a time when they were only mostly irrelevant rather than totally irrelevant) or Richard Spencer or other nasty people applaud him for spreading their message.
