Whose ideas in his latest column?
Do go on. “The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapours. When the hull collapses, the air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion, Mr Corley says. Human bodies incinerate and are turned to ash and dust instantly”. Instant death by crushing, then compression ignition brings cremation of what remains. Efficient and grim.
None of this has deterred the usual suspects in and around our free and fearless press from reimagining the final moments of the dive, not least disgraced former alleged Prime Minister Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, who has just given readers of the Daily Mail the dubious benefit of his thoughts on the tragedy. By talking well, but lying badly.
“I know there will be many who will say that Harding and his fellow adventurers were foolish, and that we need regulation against such experimental technology. Even before the news of the implosion, the Leftie Twittersphere was awash with criticism”. Bullshit. But, sadly, there is more.
“The reason so few people have done it is because it takes such nerve; and it is precisely because the market is so small, and undeveloped, and populated only by risk-hungry billionaires, that the machines are still a bit experimental”. So why have other submersibles made the descent without problem?
“That is why this mission was so important, and should be valued by Left-wingers as well as everyone else. Yes, there were risks, and warnings. But every great advance must inevitably involve experiment, and equipment that can seem, in retrospect, dangerously inadequate”. Retrospect my arse. The warnings about Titan’s use of carbon fibre had been made for years before that fateful final dive. As had warnings about its lack of certification.
He's desperate, Dan
And there is one other part of this grimly tedious article: the attempt to politicise it, to somehow “blame the lefties”. The headline includes the flat-out lie “Lefties sneer”. And Bozo has a kick at Ash Sarkar of Novara Media - which is where any claim to originality comes sadly unstuck.
Because, 22 hours earlier, and published at the same site, Mail Online, was this drivel from the deeply unpleasant Dan “four takes” Wootton: “The new Titanic disaster united the world in equal horror and admiration. But it's a new low for the hate-filled left to use the tragedy to say explorers should be taxed more to stop these pioneering adventures”. Do go on, O desperate one.
“Like millions across the globe, I can't shake from my mind the unimaginable terror the passengers of Titan must have been feeling in their likely last moments”. They wouldn’t, Dumbo - see above. Have another go. “For centuries, the world's greatest explorers and adventurers have put their own lives at risk over and over again to drive forward humanity”.
Bozo dressed that one up to talk about Captain Scott. Same idea. And, like the later Bozo diatribe, there is a dig at Ms Sarkar. “For the hate-filled left to politicise the traumatic events of this week, largely because of Harding's presence on the sub, to suggest explorers should be taxed more to stop these pioneering adventures altogether is a new low”.
This from the pundit who knows all about where the hate comes from. Like the hate that did for Caroline Flack. And it didn’t come from the left. Ms Sarkar said the rich weren’t being taxed enough. Wootton has to re-translate that into “her Corbynite political philosophy that the west should stop all private innovation”. She’s quite high up his table of creepy obsession.
While Dan Wootton looks to be quite high up Bozo’s table of plagiarism. Or perhaps The Great Man had the same ideas and it took 22 further hours to burnish them into a coherent whole to give us his superior insights.
Bozo may have got £20,000 for that crap. I wouldn’t pay the SOB in washers.

Ranting righties like Dumb Dan and Bozo the Lying Clown have peddled hate for years.
Especially when bribed by fascist supporting propaganda organisations. Hardly "pioneering" from clerks who have never done a stroke of work in their miserable leech existence
None of what DeFeffel wrote about the risk taking is true anyway. As we have read in the last 24 hours, Stockton Rush was making lots of claims about how safe this venture was, safer than crossing the road apparently. It seems that at least some on board believed these claims. I feel especially sorry for young Suleman Dawood, son of Shahzada Dawood, who by some reports was terrified of going on the sub and only went to please his father.
If the passengers were aware of the subs shortcomings, if they had the benefit of the sort of information now being revealed, do we think any of them would have got on board? Bozo is talking out of his amply proportioned backside as usual.
"...risk-hungry billionaires..."
Oh my aching sides.
These five men did not have to perish and whilst it is clearly a tragedy for their friends and families, the only saving grace is that it would have been a quick death. So fast, they would have felt little if anything.
However, for the oaf Johnson and the slime ball Wooton to suggest these men were somehow pioneers is nonsensical. They were not Hillary and Tensing. They were not Chuck Yeager. Furthermore, they were not Yuri Gagarin. They were not Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. They were not Charles Lindbergh. And they were not Amelia Earhart. They were sightseers looking at the remains of a 100+ year old wreck. Something that can be done in complete safety via remotely piloted submersibles.
To make this a left vs right issue is as desperate as it could ever get. One thing is certain. Johnson and Wooton will sink lower yet. They are at sub-Titanic levels as it is.
Dan must be steaming. His employer hiring an even bigger bullshitter and presumably paying him more to rehash his article.
How was this a "mission" or "pioneering adventure"? Scientists have been studying the Titanic wreck for years. James Cameron shot an entire documentary down there twenty years ago! No research was being done, no frontiers were being pushed. It was a sightseeing trip for wealthy tourists, where cavalier libertarian impulses led to avoidable deaths. It's like saying a safari company is heroic for sending its customers out into lion country, covered in meat in a vehicle shaped like a gazelle.
Pay them in washers
As my old boss said, "wouldn't pay them with the holes in washers"
