I get to be as self-indulgent as I want without wasting anyone's time. Guilt-free solipsism -- excellent!

The improbably named Will Self (was Ayn Rand his godmother or something?) recently went on a British radio talk show to promote his new book, which is probably as intimidatingly brilliant and frustratingly thorny as most of his other ones. Anyway, Self -- who boasts the impeccable punk rock credentials of having done heroin on Tony Blair's plane -- was joined on the show by a right-wing author (about whom I confess I know nothing) promoting his book, and the two got into a most entertaining scrap.

An excellent transcript is here. [thanks to Brian Millar]

Note: the BNP is a xenophobic, racist, fill-in-the-blank right wing party that has received worryingly good results in recent elections, particularly in the North.
