Barbara Kay: “Milo Yiannopoulos, progressivism’s spawn and history’s pendulum in action”

Barbara Kay writes:

Milo is a one-man gay right-wing militia on a take-no-prisoners mission to destroy political correctness and victim culture (“Nobody should be playing the victim … Everyone should just get on with achieving everything that they can in their lives.”) And the matériel he brings to the fight is formidable.

First of all, pardon my lookism, but he is gorgeous: tall, slim, with sculpted features and wonderful hair – impossibly blond yesterday, streaked today, brunette tomorrow. He is also unpredictable. He might turn up at a campus talk in a sombrero, shaking maracas, trailed by a mariachi band, or wearing the most beautiful Savile Row suit you’ve ever seen. He shocks for shock’s sake (“Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?”). Nearly all of what he says is deliberately offensive to some identity group or other. Watch a few YouTube videos of his talks and debates, and you’ll get the drift.
