....is that he just goes as over the top as possible in order to get attention. Combined with a very rigid ideological outlook and near superhuman levels of arrogance it makes it inevitable that he is incapable of making any sort of valid point on any subject, although he does attract the same sort of blinkered readership as Richard Littlejohn.
