“Part of people’s obsession with Milo is that no one can work out how much of him is real and how much is persona,” agrees Jack Rivlin, founder and CEO of The Tab, who used to share an office with Yiannopoulos in Clerkenwell. “In person he is kind and generous, and ridiculously good fun, even for people who expect to be one of his ‘enemies’. A lot of people who hate his public persona would attend his funeral and be genuinely sad, which probably explains the Milo paradox quite well.”
Yiannopoulos is the alt-Right poster boy who delights in riling the sensible and liberal with incendiary statements and provocative stunts. Last month, he immersed himself in a bath of pig’s blood for a performance piece called Angel Mom, part of a pro-Trump art show in New York. He wore a baseball cap reading “Make America Great Again”.
He is contemptuous of women and minorities, he once shared a Twitter poll inviting followers to answer the question, “which would you rather your child had: feminism or cancer?”. As a gay man he is scathing of certain elements of UK gay culture, surprising and offending many in the community. Is being homosexual wrong, he has asked. “Something somewhere inside of me says yes.” Critics point to this as an example of pathological self-hatred. In July he was permanently banned by Twitter, and as a result, he is hailed as a martyr by a certain coterie of young, white, angry men offended by liberal sensibilities.
