For those not familiar with him Robert Henderson is a paranoid ultra- right wing crank whose article in Wisden Cricket Monthly ‘Is it in the Blood?’ questioning non-white English cricketers commitment saw the magazine successfully sued for liable.

I won’t easily forget his description of meeting Ian Duncan-Smith when being investigated by the police following a string of ‘abusive’ letters sent to Tony and Cheri Blair.

He can't resist a touch of kneejerk nationalist pride in an institution he nevertheless has to hate because it's run by liberals.

Does libertarian always have to = right-wing nutter?

i’m sure it’s par for the course but just the relentlessness of it is impressive. constant invocations of ‘we the people’, the UN, soros, etc. he seems to have become radicalized around the time obama was elected, wonder why
