The Salubrious Mr Kampf. posted by Richard Seymour

Confession time. It's been a few months now, and not much response. I had expected a spot in The Guardian, an interview on BBC Newsnight conducted by a blushing Kirsty Wark. Even a gently mocking segment with Graham Norton in which he might make a few saucy comments. Not a bit of it. Pooter Geek has been nice, as has Dead Men Left and Charlotte Street . Nick Barlow gave it a mention. Squander Two linked to it. Bertram Online couldn't quite tell the difference from the original. The Shamrockshire Eagle gave it a plug. Even Oliver Kamm visited and had a look for about ten minutes, if his IP address provides a reasonable benchmark.

Well, much as it matters now, I am responsible for this . I was briefly ashamed of having taken any time or trouble to malign a fine, conscientious character from the right-wing of the social-democratic movement. Then, however, it occurred to me that at least I am not responsible for this .

About which, Charlotte Street has a few pertinent words .

If anyone out there resembles this character known as Mr Kampf, I am deeply, deeply sorry. I'm not sorry if you're offended, I'm just sorry that you are Oliver Kamm.

Update: For all my efforts, I could never have concocted anything as riproaringly hilarious, as desperately disingenuous, as feebly bourgeois as this . Must try harder.
