Beginning to suspect that “Thomas Chatterton Williams” is some sort of long running Andy Kaufman-sque bit.

The three names thing leads me to believe they're a serial killer

“A pundit from the Chattering Class named ‘Thomas CHATTERTON’? Get the fuck out of here,” I said to myself while chortling under my breath.

Brilliant parody work but they may have gone a little OTT with this latest “memoir”

With Andy it was wrestling women; Thomas it was the memoir.

All his big tweets are 2020/21 COVID and left gone too far. The book is: The Summer I Peaked By Tom Williams

I think "Tyler Austin Harper" might be involved in the bit.

His "centrism" is so fucking shallow that it does feel like cosplay

Naming your bad discourse sock puppet persona "Chatterton" is just a bit too obvious, IMHO.

The epitome of a useless chattering class pundit having “Chatterton” as his literal middle name never fails to amuse me

Tony Clifton was a better writer and more of a friend to women than TCW.

"Thomas Chatterton Williams" is the name of an interwar Tory politician who keeps showing up in the histories of every far-right group in the UK from 1923 to 1968.

Let’s just say he’s regularly receiving and enjoying a service that many pay for. In cash. In a hotel room. There’s nothing wrong with it but I do not want to watch it.

So the Colbert Report, but so deep no one knows it’s satire. Hopefully, unlike Kaufman, he’ll execute the punch line reveal
