I meet Philip Pullman 24 hours after he has got into trouble for idly musing on Twitter that he would like to hang Boris Johnson. “It was a silly joke,” he admits, looking slightly embarrassed as he enters his sitting room with a plate of biscuits for us, perching them on teetering stacks of books beneath which there is said to be a coffee table.
I'm sorry but the truth and The Guardian are strange bed fellows if you guys said it was Tuesday tomorrow I'd have to check the Callander
You don’t mind who gets hanged?
Double standards from the guardian from remainers and the far left
Remember your hung on a lamppost tweet? Bare faced hypocrisy of Remoaners.
PhilipPullman would you care to reply to this or should we continue to assume you are a hypocrite?
At least he hasn't said he wants to hang someone from a lamp-post
Says the Guardian the communist rag that never let the truth get in the way of a good story
Oh dear.... come back on that then? Oh you can’t can you? Because you did in fact say write it...
PhilipPullman called for the PM to be lynched. He has no right to speak in this when he has used the most disgusting, offensive and incendiary language. Horrid man. you really are doing a pretty shit job if you don't point this out to give context to what he has said.
When I see the name Phillip Pullman I remember that disgusting comment about Boris Johnson. You should’ve been arrested!
BORIS JOHNSON =DONALD TRUMP!
Brexit madness. The man needs medical help
What Humbug - No matter, GetBrexitGone
The facist left are hypocrites!
There's a clear media bias towards fanning the Brexit flames - no journalist has ever felt so central, and listened to. This, they see, is 'their time'. To judge and opine. An alternate, objective, informed 'For Brexit' view would be a refreshing bold change. Who's got the balls?
let him who is without sin cast the first stone, or if you live in greenhouses don't throw stones
Why is this shit if any form of print.
You mean with words like......humbug? Ye gods! This from the man who said the PM should hang from a lamp post. The brass neck of these nouveau left wingers.
Does he mind If he swings from a lamp post?
Voila, wat zei ik. Gooi maar op jongens, jullie worden sowieso beloond!
We live in a world of snowflakes and drama queens lol
Do you think hanging someone from a lamppost is responsible language to use?
Pullman. What a Bellend.
The guardian ideal for rabbit hutches very absorbing.
How do u know Harvard Drs and others are not arrogant and go hurt Pakistani and think why ur Hispanic are treated at border
Yeah. About that. 🤔🙄😒🤦♂️
please refrain from using inflammatory hurty words. We know how delicate the leftie extreme snowflakes are.
Two faced wnker.
How pathetic can guardian editors get, quoting an even more pathetic Philip Pullman to make......what point exactly? Swirling together in their own sewer and no one cares.
Well said
Phil’s still hanging around.
I must say his books are better than his political opine. Funny the books are all about finding the truth, is opine is about ignoring it.
It’s hardly a surprise when the moral preening public figure lets slip the opposite demeanour.
Hypocrite. Says the bloke who wanted the PM to be hung 🙄
Marvelling at the array of commentators, and so-called professional journalists lining up to attack a fiction writer, for an altogether mild expression of dismay and anger on his personal twitter feed. I'm sure, they have never said anything volatile.
Something to hide?
HypocrisyKnowsNoBounds SurrenderBill SurrenderTurkeys what absolute melts!
Pullmam ia biased, boring and not very bright.
The hypocrite Pullman strikes again.
You keep quoting these people who have no connection with the general public
Nice picture of someone lost in a bush!
What about on your side Mr.Lefty
Pulman called for Johnson to be hanged, but that's ok because Pulman is a lovely remainer . What hypocrisy.
If BJ apply the result of a democratic referendum, he is right. The only solution for Brexit ACTUALLY is a general election before October 31. But MPs DO NOT WANT to risk their seats. Therefore a no-deal Brexit will be only THEIR FAULT.
Poor man looks addled in that photo
Is this about Boris or pushing his latest book, which now I will not be buying
Who the fhck is this Pullman bloke Someone needs to give him a tissue the utter nonsense he is dribbling must be nearly drowning him. Then again.....hold off with that tissue!!
Philip Pullman and or the Guardian must be getting forgetful. In their quest for cheap clickbait they've gone for someone who literally proposed the lynching of the PM a short while ago. Bunch of hypocrites
SECURITY!
What would you and the Guardian know about truth?
Is this the man who called for Boris to be hanged from a lamp post? Isn't that incitement to murder?
We are fast becoming like the USA with the press becoming polarised and blindly promoting their political stance and this is merely an example the Guardian will always promote left wing views no matter what no surprise
You called for him to 'be hung from a lamp post'
No-one cares what you think. You write stories. SurrenderAct SurrenderBill BritishIndependence GetBrexitDone
Guardian 2 faced? Who would have thought.
I'll just leave this here... Has he got dementia like Terry Pratchett? And that truth thing, inconvient innit?
Also Phillip Pullman: “Boris should be hanged from a lamppost.” Grauniad: “Ooo, that beastly Boris...”
What a hypocrite.
Didn't this hypocrite say he wanted 2 c bj hanged from the nearest lamppost? twofaced
Pullman posted a tweet about hanging Boris from a lamp post
Didn’t he say Boris Johnson should be hanged ? Think his mental health is deteriorating.. Social care time for PhilipPullman his grey matter is failing him !!! Nurse !!
PhilipPullman we haven't forgot your lamp post comment - hypocrite!!
He looks like he’s escaped from the old people’s home, dementia is a tragedy. Bless him.
Helllloooo Hypocrite! Wasn’t it Phillip Pullman who said “rope” & “nearest lamppost” in regards to Boris Johnson? Oh yes. Just kidddddinggg.
We've rightly supported First Nations in other countries, now we're supporting our British First Nation. We, the people, will decide who governs us. What we choose to do and how we are represented. It is our decision. You're a successful writer. You are simply nothing more .
Looks a proper wrongun to me.....
This is the man who said he wanted to see Boris swing from a lamppost ......
This is the man who called hanging Boris from a lamppost a silly joke!
Classic Guardian. Tone trolling from the guy who wanted to hang Boris Johnson from a lamppost. What next? Justin Trudeau on the dangers of blackface?
I'm sorry but artists and fiction writers live in parallel universes to the rest of us. Why should we take them seriously when they don't share the same 'real' world the rest of us do. Sitting in a cabin with a typewriter is not the same as getting up at 5am to clear a sewer.
(Cough)
Says the guy who called for him to be hung from a lamppost. The Guardian giving him a further voice shows you are all part of the problem.
He’s a true Tory then
Nurse!
The Guardian - irrelevant
Love how the guardian try to claim the moral highground on issue whilst giving a platform to this man and is extremist opinions about hanging people.
Wasn't this the guy who called for Boris to be lynched?
But you called for Boris to be hung from a lamp post. Pure Humbug.
Belt up Phil. What is the truth ?
Guess Boris is doing his job very well for the British people?
The sheer hypocrisy in that statement. This is the man who said that Boris should be “hanged from a lamppost” I for one am sick of these POS pretending they have the moral high ground. Leftism at its finest.
Do you still back hanging innocent people from lampposts?
one set of rules for one etc etc
I hope this novel has better pacing than the last. (Too long at the pub, not long enough on the river during the Night of the Hunter 'homage').
UK is the heart of the EU ! ... all the other countries are vital organs in the EU body ! ... but the heart has the love ! We cannot live without love !
Philip Pullman is a national treasure, one of the greatest writers we have.
Let’s hope he upsets you.
You, sir, are an ARSEBRAMBLE
When I hear the name ‘Boris Johnson’, for some reason the words ‘rope’ and ‘nearest lamp-post’ come to mind as well”.
Oxford dropout....still bitter? Made lots of money from Brexiters buying his books now insults them. Just cancelled my pre-order for his latest book.
😂😂 you said you envisaged hanging him from a lamppost 😂😂 absolute shock that the guardian are publishing this hypocrisy!
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
PhilipPullman yeah you should just shush now 🤫🤫🤫🤫
Man who called for politician to be hung from a lamppost complains about said politician's behaviour. Written by a hypocrite. Published by hypocrites. Disgraceful.
You'd think your 'hang him from a lamp-post' comment would disqualify you from having anything credible to say about Boris Johnson. But apparently not. Remainers aren't interested in the truth. The referendum proved you don't speak for the majority of British people. Boris does.
Philip Pullman really is a vile individual...
Wokey Cokey 😏 ❄❄❄❄s
In that photo he looks a bit bemused because he can't find a lamp post in all those trees.
Boris is doing what the people want.
Who cares what he thinks... why is this news? Oh... it’s the guardian
Paul is having a pull of himself there. Living to his name.
We’re starting to sound like the US. Almost as if it’s all part of the same international mob
Lies of the losers. They will make anything up to stop Boris who is carrying out the mandate of the British people.
Kinda sounds like his great admirer Donald Trump he does the same thing !
