Another day and another editor jumps from HuffPoUK as the Mehdi Effect strikes again. After two years in the job, original hire and Culture Editor Sam Parker is off to Buzzfeed to become their new UK Features Editor.
The brain drain continues:
Original reporters: gone.
Pol Ed: gone.
Culture Ed: gone.
Is he worth it? Mehdi isn’t working…

Lord Tebbit has his say on ‘aggressive homosexuals’:
“Why shouldn’t a mother marry her daughter? Why shouldn’t two elderly sisters living together marry each other? I quite fancy my brother!”
Google-eyed-Dave
Is it cos he is “spiky”?
Mehdi thinks Ed Balls would be a great Chancellor
Even Gordon wasn’t that mad
What a comedian Mehdi is.
Is there a more hapless figure in the British media landscape?
Coo eee
Mendhi – what a vile INFIDEL !
We love Mehdi.
No matter how badly researched or ridiculous his views, he’s welcome at the BBC.
Lend us a quid will ya?
We also love Laurie Penny and Owen Jones.
Despite the fact that they are posh rich kids who have never achieved anything in their mundane privileged lives,they’re perfectly qualified to comment on everything.
OK – in for a penny, in for a pound and an unexpected and nasty little rash.
I’m in Tuscany.
But your villa is in Umbria
Is that close to cloud cuckoo land, your UK home?
Dame Polly Boing-Me replies :
I do have of course more than ONE villa and indeed in more than one country …………….. inbred pleb !!
I don’t see the point of the Huffington Post. It relies on amateurs to provide a lot of content and copies a lot of original stories from elsewhere.
In other words it’s a vacuous and cheap outfit. No wonder the irritable Mehdi Hasan works there.
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. But so did being the beard of a closeted gay Republican in California and pretending to be conservative. I’m really not too bright, for having been the president of the Cambridge Union.
Ye e e e e s ……
cAnd to boot ( pardon the simile ) you are also one of Mrs Vixky Theodorakis ‘ country women …. which probably explains why you succumbed in California .
Shall we call it marital co- ercion and leave it at that ??
There’s marital coercion, and then there’s marital coercion…
Mehdi Hassan – what does he do?
Evenin’ PC Dixon .
I thought you had died along with Jimmy Savile and Emergency Ward 10 …
All very touching.
Still don’t know what he does !
I’ll file this under “Who gives a fuck?”
Presumably any editor thinking of hiring Mr Hasan?
No, not at all. This musical chairs for metropolitan bum boys in the Virtual world shows the vitality and vigour of Britain’s New Economy and the March of the Masturbators.
Chavez = Toast.

“campaigning has already begun, although undeclared, with Vice President Nicolas Maduro, who Chavez has said should succeed him, frequently commandeering all broadcast channels Chavez-style to tout the “revolution” and vilify the opposition.”
It seems Venezuela has a BBC, although AlBeeb never needs to be commandeered.
no loss … hes been a pain in the ass for too long already
I’m Free !!!
Zut Alors
Vous êtes tous les bovins
Non Monsieur …
Nous sommes definitivement les rosbifs !!
My wife thinks Medhi is gay.
The only time I ever come across the fellow is on here
oooooer get you vicar
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Does Mehdi just listen to himself all day. I fear no one else does.
zzzzzzzzz
No one gives a fig about the goings on in ” The London Metro Meedya Set”
Has Mon*go May and Gimp Grayling released the murderer Prince Saud bin Abdulaziz…..yet !!!!
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If you care about British jobs you will STFU you piss sodden left wing tramp
I hardly think Guido obsessing about London 20 something’s , living in house with 7 other 20 something’s Meeedya Metro set constitutes British Jobs
These people, left right or middle are a bunch of self obsessed, self publicists that NO ONE but the likes of Guido gives a t*oss about
What a knob, I am talking about the Saudis you blithering idiot.
And you, apparently. Has your little mirror with a bell on it broken? No cuttlefish?
free tomatoes in lobby
EU subsidised tomatoes. Give us some credit.
Sorry, I’m the duty bod for watching the living room paint dry at that time.
What a smug self righteous twat, has anyone told him it impossible to know everything about a chaotic system and the jury is still out on man made global warming?
We don’t wish to know that thankyou.

Glasgow University Union can provide a good audience to liven things up (presumably after a few pints).

Shame OTHER than blindly following and submitting to a misogynistic, stone age religion based on slavery and murder, you mean?
Hey! We don’t call it misogyny! We call it their culture and traditions!
we call it the Sisterhood featuring the Vaz
“Nothing summed up the slamming of the door in the faces of hundreds of thousands of working class young people more than the scrapping of EMA.
Now more than ever we need to step up the fight to bring back EMA and fight for young people’s futures.”
No, the taxing of people on minimum wage to pay for child benefits for millionaires was right up there with the scrapping of EMA. Oh, and murdering tens of thousands working class people in their NHS beds. (Though that probably wasn’t in Hampstead, so probably won’t have sunk home yet with the BBC or the Labour Party yet).
In my area which is broadly affluent middle class the kids were using the EMA to buy CDs etc and I do NOT believe for one moment that the total household income was below £30,810 in the majority of homes in my neighbourhood(two cars usually a 4 x 4 and a top end saloon, large 5 bed houses etc etc )either but a lot of kids seemed to get the ” FULL” EMA. If they were then it explains why the UK went tits up in the 2007 credit crash as everything must have been on credit with very little chance of it ever being repaid and the banks who lent the money couldn’t be arsed to check affordability before chucking another re-mortgage;credit card or loan at already over-extended customers…
Everyone who lives in the real world knows that kids use their EMA to buy booze, fags and legal/illegal highs.
Yet again Jones just proves how out of touch he is.
Gotta be a sure winner or loser in the Blog Race.
That’s like the egg and spoon race only without prizes, yeah?
Everyone a winner.
Things the food industry’s NOT telling you! 39% of tuna may NOT be tuna! http://is.gd/055wUc [And you thought mislabelling was a one off!]
Whale oil.
Beef hooked.
!
I’m a twat
very astute
That’s the only truthful statement he’s ever made.
He is a shame to the New Statesman and Huff Po as well.
Some shocking news just been revealed. Tests have shown McDonald’s hamburgers contain some beef. A spokesman for the chain said “We are deeply shocked to discover that our burgers contain some actual beef. We will seek to rectify this as soon as possible”.
Simpsons in the Strand says:
All our beef contains 100 percent beef and has done so since the liberation of Khartoum.
A potato has skin, I have skin. Therefore I am a Potato.
There goes the neighbourhood then …. spud !!
I have just re-potted my money tree. I expect a spurt of growth in the second quarter.
Can I just say here that Sir David Nicholson is a dishonourable shit. I hope that one day he trips over his colostomy bag and people laugh at him when he shits himself.
Is he the former Commie Party member who claimed a ridiculous amount in expenses on top of his astronomical wages?
One irony is that ‘Mehdi’ is an anagram of ‘him Ed’, which could refer to Mehdi’s being an editor (by nature?) or it could even mean he is a Miliband-alike.
Either way, the signs and portents he brings with him aren’t exactly helpful or positive, as this latest story seems to confirm yet again…
Lefties remain lefties until they make enough money out of socialism, then they just become well heeled Hunts.
