It appears the self-proclaimed ‘fearless’ Whale – fond of name-calling and hurling vitriolic abuse at others – can’t handle the jandal when it comes to himself. Meanwhile, a tiny handful of his supposed ‘millions’ of keyboard warriors took time out from their weird, creepy adulation of Slater’s sweaty rantings to go into bat for him with classy retorts like: ‘socialist’, ‘lefty’ or the extremely classy ‘You should close your paper before you start kiddy fiddling as well’.
