Johann Hari: It Was Ever Thus
Cambridge contemporaries of the disgraced Johann Hari could have told you he was full of it for years. What the Indy still don’t seem to be ready to admit was on display in the November 24, 2000 edition of Varsity:

The first of many baffled readers.















Hari and Rose are a disgrace!
Greetings to all my fellow psychos at Guido’s!
With fellow tribesman collapsing the world’s economy it’s a good day to bury a few dozen more Gazan children! Shalom!
makes you think about the gordon riots all over again
Can somebody help me please – I have gone so far into hiding that I am completely lost and can’t get back.
Johann, Ill ask my old chum Dick Lucan if he can help you – you remember him, of course, from that party the Grimaldis threw in Monte Carlo? The one at which dear old Leonid Brezhnev split his vodka all over Kissinger?
Give my regards to Alan Quartermain. Pip-pip!
Hari pissed off Ben Elton?
Damn!!!
Now that idiot Hari has actually gone up in my estimation
Now that’s what I call chutzpah!

Thsi guy, er, Haller/Simonyi, is a fucking hero to the Tribe. He’s fucking the g oy over mercilessly. Shalom!
Not just Hari and Rose.
Hari, Rose, Quinefan, Blackhurst and a lion:

Guido, the trouble with mentioning Is-rael is that it sets off an alarm at Schutzstaffel HQ.
Guido.
Is that THE Ben Elton?
Shouldn’t think so..THE Ben Elton went to Manchester NOT Cambridge as I seem to recall from my time there
Thanks
THE (leftie) Elton went to Manchester, apparently.
Little bit of politics, little bit of politics..
He went to Cambridge, not Oxford, thank God.
OXFORD? You mean Cambridge. Easy to mistake. Cambridge is too good for Hari
Err, he went to Cambridge. ‘Varsity’ is the university student newspaper there.
The “comedian”, Ben Elton, went to University of Manchester.
There’s a comedian called Ben Elton?
Ah, I spotted you put it in quotes.
Quite. He was about as funny as a burning orphanage.
Funny as woodworm in a cripple’s crutch until he discovered that sneering “FATCHAAAA” in front of a bunch of students and inner London council workers would have them rolling in the aisles. Alternative comedy was born.
One might be excused for thinking that alternate actually means negation.
Now now, credit where credit’s due. He did co-write Blackadder. Don’t forget that.
Take no prisoners!
Comedy is funny doesn’t that mean thta an alternative comedian is by their very nature unfunny?
Is it too much to hope for that him and Jody McIntyre end up sharing a cell?
But who would be the bitch?
At least he would then face the chair.
You should be ashamed. Everyone knows “Ben Elton” is just a sockpuppet for the vile Islamophobic racist, imperialist running-dogs who have been trying to do down Hari, who is a hero of the working class, um, and a champion of equality, and..um…do I detect some homophobia in your criticism?
“It’s scary, isn’t it?” I ask. The fat plagiarist shrugs. “Yeah,” he says, “I suppose it is scary. But frankly…” He lights up, cradling the contraband fag, “frankly, it’s not half as scary as what’s going to happen when they find out you’ve been making shit up as well.”
I cried when i read this.
Have you ever thought of doing “Celebrity Big Brother” Johann ?? I feel that you have all the necessary qualities to make a success of it !!!
Problem is, most people don’t know who Hari is – but they do know “that bloke off the Gypsy weddings programme” is.
David Cameron at the oval, not in a coprate box.
Future Jonah curse?
England were 212-2 when he sat down, KP and Ian Bell both in the 60s and going well…..
Ask him via the TMS inbox. He’s on TMS at 1610.
Bell to go to 120, KP to 85 caught at slip, I reckon. England 373 – 6 at stumps tonight.
Dunno, Kp to get a “Daddy hundred” , He doesnt like being out of the limelight.
England to win 4-0 (Better bowlers), Not got TMS on, Prefer Sky.
Do the police get them cheaper or more expensive?
Not many police needed at cricket, the last test match went ahead despite the riots while football matches had to postponed.
Cricket is a noble and civilised game
…now Freddie’s retired it is. Dennis Lillee was a bit of a thug as well.
Freddie is a legend and he did play the game in the right spirit, I remeber him going down a consouling Brett Lee in 2005 Ashes and that bowling spell at ricky Ponting.
Mind the windows, Tino!
@Smig
Pure class that one
This is funny as well.
one match fuckwit
“David Cameron at the oval, not in a coprate box.”
Is thee any piece of equipment not sponsored nowadays?
The Box
Did he write the dossier for the Iraq war too?
No it was in my thesis
Sally looks like a man
A little bit of politics there ladies and gentlemen.
It read well until i got to the signature.
Toilet meister says harri is full of shit . . . kettle and pot come to mind.
Apart from the bit that Ben Elton went to manchester, thats about 20 years after he left university. Might not even have been living in England at the time.
Fucking Republicans.
They want a united Ireland but not a united island over here,they don’t want a Union ruled from Westminster but a Union ruled from Brussels.
Ever case they make to want to leave the UK could apply as a reason why not to join the EU for fucks sake.
Thick Celtic C*nts.
The real joke is that they are going to get Berlin.
Celeb watch
Jamie RedKnapp and Andrew “Freddie Flintoff” are at the Oval watching the cricket.
Toby Young maybe right, but you have to have confidence to be sucsessfull!
Give it a rest – dont type unless you have anything interesting on your mind
Billy – you are posting a lot. Maybe you should take a full refund etc
No, you take a full refund
So weak you have to resort to monkier theft.
Grow up
Is this your blog?
do you set the rules that others must obey?
It is not a matter of rules (there are no rules) – it would be just polite to cut out your pathetic comments and concentrate of trying to type something worthwhile.
polite?
Newbie alert
No he’s got his own magical blog. Nobody’s ever been there coz it’s so exclusive.
dont be so nasty about Billy – we love him
I was having a pop at Billy’s stalker, numbnutz.
Ireland: 300 years of being ruled by Vikings, 800 years of being ruled by England, 60 years of being ruled by Rome and a future being ruled from Berlin. Still, is fear rith maith ná drochsheasamh, as they say.
Is that a language that sounds like your sloshed all the time?
= A good run is better than a bad stand
As is always the irony, if the Oirish thought the Brits were bad, wait till they are ruled by the EU
To sweeten the pill for the poor luvie,perhaps the Indy could arrange for a suitable fiction prize to be awarded to him the day he’s stripped of the Orwell prize.
The funniest story about Hari is the one where he wrote an article claiming he regularly took Ecstasy at university. It later emerged he’d never touched one and had phoned a friend before writing the piece to ask what it feels like to have one.
Kid shoulda called me, I coulda laid him on a cap of pure blue Uranian centipede jissom straight inna trembling adolescant mainline…
Woulda shot the kid up myself, sit and wrote about it. I’m kinda sentimental like that.

“@TomHarrisMP you and Sir @MichaelWhite should do what I do. Any abuse BLOCK ‘EM. Ask too many questions (why not email?) BLOCK ‘EM.”
You can say what you like about me, but I have never passed off others work as my own. Never. Let me re+peat that. never!
I know what I am. I know what I have done. I can tell what is illusion…Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide. No escape from reality.
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy.
Because I’m easy come, easy go; little high, little low
anyway the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me
To me.
J.Hari.
I spent five hours dodging gunfire and rocket launchers with my fellow freedom fighters in Tottenham. I saw dozens of children brought down in a hail of bullets, their arterial spray decorating the walls in a perverse mise en scène of claret on brown that was almost poetic in its horrific honesty. It was a day I will never forget. And neither should you.
My client would like me to point out that he is suffering from a terrible depression.
His girlfriend is in a coma so he finds that joke isn’t funny anymore.
Heaven knows he’s miserable now.
So please leave him alone.
Has she gone back to 1973?

He does have a point tho bout Israel’s actions being straight out of the Nazi playbook. Hitler would no doubt approve and respect of Israels ethnic cleansing agenda.

Public sector net borrowing (PSNB) in the UK during July was just £20m, down from £3.5bn a year earlier, helped by higher tax receipts and the levy on banks’ balance sheets.
Rejoice, Rejoice !!!!
Not even mentioned on BBC News 24.
Ben ‘Thatch’ ‘Thatch’ Elton is of course correct about Hari.
However I still think Ben’s a twunt of the first water for his hounding into the grave of Benny Hill.
Benny Hill was funny, Benny Elton wasn’t funny then and is just beginning to be mildly amusing. But I still think Ben’s a right twunt.
Luckily there are shed load of new wave comics who are far funnier than Ben ever could be.
Yo! If I meet this Bo Elson bee-yatch, gunna wet da m***e*f**k*r! He kill my Man Benny! Never knew this!
Shit calling shit shit? Students are full of shit and nothing else.
all the lefties , brains overheating “how can we get johann out of this little setback”
well this is the news , ya shower of fucking arseholes YOU CANT!
and any lefty fucktard who tries will commit professional suicide
please polly give us a comment.
I gave my virginity to that man
johann Hari may be a hate filled racist, a Jew baiting anti Semite, a greasy creep, a liar and a serial fantasist but he has many friends at the BBC, good friends who hold the same views, carry the same ugly prejudices and are endowed with the very same levels of honesty and integrity. Hari is not alone, he is a typical example of you average leftist. When the dust settles he may go far in the BBC.
Didn’t realise this blog was so pro Israel, must remind these supercons of the good old days of the saath african colonies
Get your pronounciation right! It’s “Saarf Effrikan”. Poes!

The Blairs now have five properties in Central London – including their £3.4 million Connaught Square townhouse and three properties bought for their children worth over £1 million – in addition to a £4 million pile in Buckinghamshire.
Lord Mandelson’s present income remains the subject of much speculation.
