Absolute destruction by Andrew Neil leaves Ben Shapiro absolutely destroyed

Nobody disses better than the Brits. "First, some background. If you’ve never heard of Ben Shapiro, he is best understood as the Lindsay Lohan of the right-wing US political commentary scene. The now well established Lindsay Lohan theory dictates that the age at which a person achieves fame is the age at which they stop developing mentally, establishing a spectrum that stretches up to George Clooney (breakthrough – ER, 35, well adjusted), and down to Lohan (breakthrough – The Parent Trap – 12, years in rehab, and once ended an online spat by threatening to switch on the Christmas lights in Kettering). Below Lohan it reaches a point where light is best left unshone, but it involves building a theme park in your own back garden and your genitals having to be photographed by the Department of Justice. Ben Shapiro, alas, was 17 when he first started attracting attention for having the kind of opinions you expect of nasty teenage little boys. His first book, Why Privileged Little Boys Like Me Deserve Everything We’ve Been Given (working title) sold several hundred copies, several of which are understood not have been to family members. But Ben Shapiro is 35 now, and seemingly unable to do anything with a general world view that most people manage to leave behind at the high school prom, and which in his case were out of date several decades before he got them."
