Dirty Hari Returning to Indy in “Four or Five Weeks”
Despite Chris Blackhurst admitting that the paper’s reputation had suffered great damage at the hands of Johann Hari, the Indy editor also confirmed to Leveson, taking a sip of water and looking directly into the camera, that the disgraced fraudster will be “returning as a columnist” in the next four or five weeks. He’s banned from conducting interviews though…
Apparently the fact Hari produced a doctor’s note saying he was mental was enough to satisfy the internal investigation, and subsequently the fearless inquiry into press ethics. No mention of late night racist, incest fantasy stories though..
You couldn’t make it up… oh, hang on

Written by whom?
I’m a reel Doktor you wee timourous Sassenach you and i’ll club anyone of yee who says I am no
Aye laddie, tell us the one about sending troops to Afghanistan and not a single shot would be fired.
That was a fucking cracker!
About time to, Johann is a journalistic lion, his integrity and that of the Independent are beyond reproach.
This whole witch hunt has been orchestrated by extreme right wing, homophobic racists, because Johann’s writings, intellect and bravura, intimidates their feeble worldview.
Welcome back Johann, take the sword of truth and the shield of honesty and fight the good fight once again!
WRONG ‘UN, WRONG ‘UN, WRONG ‘UN
David Rose MD?
That porn he wrote was paedo porn too. How has he not even been arrested??
I for one look forward to his return – as long as comments are enabled!!
Is this not the same as Damian Mcbride and Derek Draper coming back into the labour party fold?
Not that Labour would do that..
Hypocrisy and Mendacity – in Liebour’s D-N-A.
Welcome back Johann, you lying fat sack of sh*t.
Unbelievable. Some would say he s sleeping with the right people. I wouldn’t of course.
He used to suck anyone off at college, a right slut
He has to have something pretty special on Blackhurst to be re-engaged.
Surely Lebedev has an opinion on this
Shouldn’t that be Blockhurst?
We need all the friendly journos we can get – shag, c*un*t, soapy titty wank!
Will his column appear in the ‘Fiction’ section then ?
Because it is your silly little island’s job to do as I tell you
Ask Ed you pratt. He’s the one with his finger on the pulse. Or maybe not.
cue picture of Ed pushing lentil round huge desk in big office with his index finger
Round of applause for that reply
Naturally, the desktop bereft of any other objects so that Milimong is not distracted…
Fuck off David you torturing bastard.
You were once in charge there so there must be somebody who remembers you who could answer your question. Still, probably saves us a 100k a year by cutting that position.
Unbelievable levels of hypocrisy from the indy.
I have nothing to declare but my genius!
Well Said!
I agree. So does my little bitch of a brother.
(Sucks teeth).
Seppuku by groups or individuals always was a ceremonial spectator sport so I assume with Guido’s penchant for food today it must be the Indy’s hari-kuri moment….
Hari doesn’t need to conduct interviews. Why bother when you can invent the whole thing? A lesson not learned. Quality journalism – NOT.
Having a Doctor’s note proving that you are a frothing carpet-chewing nutter is listed as no2 in the Essential Qualities section of the Independent’s Columnist Job Specification.
Preview:
“Is this sodomy?” he asked, half in Earnest, and then leaning back in his chair and absent-mindedly brushing a piece of fluff from his jacket. “Ask not what your country can do for you..”he says “Ask (etc ad nauseam)
I’m looking for somewhere to store a tent-pole, about 7 foot long by 6 inches in diameter. Any suggestions, Jo?
I would cancel my subscription if I’d ever had one
perhaps hari and lee jasper can collaborate on their wiki editing activities and flights of fantasy
In fairness, I DIDN’T seek to publish that interview with Ed Miliband in which he said he was looking to screw his brother…
Fair point – well made
Did you say something about screwing brothers?
Well at least there’s an interview with Colonel Gaddaffi to look forward to. I am most interested to hear what the Colonel thinks of the Libyan revolution.
Perhaps Hari will be editor of the Indys new supplemental Fiction Magazine!
Come on spunk
make my gay!
This poof walks into a newspaper and asks
Can I have a job?
The editors says
Of course
the bogs are down there as you know full well
Oh you are cheeky, but I like you
What’s independent about the indy?
Independent from reality.
Did Hari actually turn up in New York for his journalism classes or has he been bonking Thai ladyboys for the past six months?
h
Steady on!
We’re not that desperate!
Actually, I was auditing Gordon Brown’s lectures at NYU. Or not. Believe what you will; I don’t have to prove myself to anyone.
Stop Press: City give their response to Mili’s failed relaunch. FTSE up nearly 1.6%, just broken 5700
probably just the halo effect of rolling around laughing at milli-minor acting all important and grown up.
Ed Milibland: “the next government will inherit a deficit whoever governs after 2015″
Did he mean ‘deficit’ or ‘debt’ ?
We’ll find out when Ed learns the difference.
Ed Miliband has a deficit. Well maybe several.
I bet Ed Milliband runs like a spastic
His knees probably get more knocks than a brothel door
Hari is going to get slaughtered every time he publishes.
Imagine hundreds of concerned members of the public writing to him asking for proof of his output & for supporting evidence for every nuanced word he writes?
This is going to be fun – & I cannot believe the utter naivety of the Indy.
I cannot believe anyone will by a paper who employ proven serial lying journalists
But you forget that ol’ JugEars Marr used to be the editor – he really set the standards, didn’t he!
That would be mean and beneath us.
Fun though!
It seems incredible that this journo who has such a bad reputation that he probably wouldn’t get the job of listings editor for a local newspaper is being taken back as a columnist on a national daily.
Taking back Hari makes the Indy look very bad indeed.
Does Hari have a brother?
Yes, his name is Kari.
It’s Kiri actually. That was like one of Joh’s little detail hiccups.
Malam
Krishna ?
Come on, come on
Hurry up Hari come on
We’re going down the pub (lisher)
I’ll see your malam and raise you a pagi.
Leroy Jones?
Diane Abbott says that Hari’s writings have all been taken out of context.
I think she will find that his writings have just been taken from someone else’s work
Exactly-out of context.
What’s your problem with Johann?
I’d have thought the lickspittle Kelvin Mackenzie fanatics here (including the proprietor) would have supported someone following Mr Mackenzies credo:
“When I published those stories, they were not lies. They were great stories that later turned out to be untrue — and that is different. What am I supposed to feel ashamed about?”
as a socialist, when you claim you are all smarter and much nicer than the opposition – it would help if you were actually honest and smarter and nicer … rather than just lying, two faced, plagiarising pack of hypocrites.
So it’s OK to lie as long as you have a right wing bent (as it were)?
btw if you’re calling me a socialist you can wash your mouth out with soap and then go and fuck yourself, and then fuck right off.
Only socialists use the word “lickspittle” – you’re busted mate.
Socialists like Phillip Davies (who I presume you know to be a prominent right wing Tory backbencher) when he described the Lib Dems as “Lickspittle Euro fanatics” or the hordes of (I presume) Tories / Libertarians on here who use the term too?
cretin
He’s an ANGRY elf!
Yes Labour propaganda oq left wing media is full of delusional nutcases. There is still no cure for these poor deluded souls who write the tripe and for those who read and believe the tripe that has been written.
Hari? Krisna?
Minge?
They must be clean off it at the Indy if they think people will take them seriously whilst Hari is still a columnist. It will have to be placed on the shelves with the Dandy and the Beano (and be far less entertaining).
I must concede that I have read the Indy since 1986 (the TV listings used to be very funny, and Brian Harris’s photos were very good) but I have stopped reading it because of Hari.
Well Done, Indy Editor!
So, as an ex-Conservative you found solace in the left-wing, climate change loving ravings of loonies like Steve Richards and Hari Kari. Your tale could only have been more unbelievable if you claimed to have switched to The Guardian.
Apparently he’s got interviews with Lord Lucan and Shergar lined up.
Journalism is such a noble profession.
You mean late night racist incest PAEDOPHILE fantasy stories.
Mental? Of course he’s mental. They all are at the Unreadian and the Insolvent. How else would you describe people who rate Ed Miliband? Polly is clearly out of her tree. They’re still not allowed to make up stories.
You dont have to be mad to work here, but it fucking helps, said Blackhurst
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I wonder what Dame Piggy Toynbee’s reaction to the gay incest porn is??
Outrage or a big vegatable?
Question: If fatty Hari HADNT been a left-wing republican h*m*, would he have got off so lightly and been returned so speedily? Answers on a postcard please.
How my little Johann learned to be a celebrated lefty journalist
I had been publishing left-wing-flavours-of-the-month ever since I was seventeen, when a middle-aged guy in a journalists’ bar sidled up to me and asked if I was “in charge” of the boy I was with. He pointed towards Johann, my boyfriend, who was in the year below me at public school, a sweet-lipped, fat-assed, plagiarising bottom-bitch. Maybe it is because I look smug that he assumed I was a Broadsheet editor.
Johann was pretty innocent — he had only ever been published by me and one of
my friends — but in that moment, the idea that had never crossed my mind
before, the idea of disseminating his freshly made-up shite, made my readership stir.
You might see us around, my boy and me. I’m the one with the sharp suit and the dwindling readership. He’s the one with the big ass, staring at his editor with silent love, ready at a moment’s order to write some preachy left-wing shite or to go on a ‘journalism course’ for his boss. If you see us, come say hi and get your wallet ready. I have lots of fit, prime boys you can read every day — and one very special one you can’t.
Hey, give the man some respect, he not only wrote war and peace, the declaration of independence, the bible AND assisted Marx in writing Das Kapital where he instructed Marx in anti capitalist rhetoric, he is perhaps the most respected author and journalist alive today.
Correct!
He is so good he is even writing this!
All sorts of unsavoury individuals are allowed to become scribblers these days.
And editors.
hari is morally &professionally fucked end of.
He’s banned from conducting interviews though
Bet that would not stop him turning up quotes
