Disappointed that Rod Liddle, a notorious racist and admitted female-partner beater, is so sensitive about reminded of this. He’s made good money for years off being a nasty racist. Don’t be so ungrateful, Rod! https://twitter.com/portraitinflesh/status/1180076466983391232
This is the Times report. A police caution is only issued to a person who formally admits their guilt.
I support rehabilitation of offenders, incl people who admit their guilt without being convicted or punished - as with Liddle.
But there are other public interests here. Liddle is a highly paid professional promoter of genocidal ideology. His violent past is publicly relevant.

Liddle is a powerful figure. He uses his power for evil. Everyone is entitled to know his formally admitted private violence. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/17/rod-liddle-spectator-race http://www.media-diversity.org/en/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3356:rod-liddles-track-record-of-hate&catid=35:media-news-a-content&Itemid=34
Liddle isn’t just a cunning promoter of race hate. He hates women too - when they oppose sexism. And there his personal violence is relevant too.
He uses his platform to try and humiliate and belittle women. https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/08/26/women-only-carriages-trains-rod-liddle-daisy-buchanan-sexual-harassment_n_8042962.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvLnVrLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIzaT_r8cGl21gXGz6tysrkFeQ7Ycat_PYKqnMk03Wr6UWjPYf1f9fwIiRRaCWkrkT-TL9R7jOs8TzIOZpezhc6X7a-Fs-iqFqBfvyx09wgIaBlXhHp8jYHjvFyWOdBgQyqGqMa-u9sN7r2izFe4UdfHS7OgLXX6pPIR8SBzlEIW

Liddle is clever. He understands that the powers of racist sexist men are increasingly threatened. He knows his audience - arrogant, entitled, and scared.
In a country determined to turn its back on hate, he’d struggle for work. His current position tell us we have far to go.
