Speaker- Peter McKay focuses mainly on political issues, especially on terrorist concerns such as ISIS and Jihadis. He is a nearly-militant republican who calls for a war on terrorism. Articles by him include "Why do we tolerate the jihadis in our midst?" and "From ISIS to China, we need a real 007." These articles display his skewed world view of Muslims.
Occasion- McKay publishes posts quickly after an event occurred while still focusing on the big picture, which tends to be related to Muslims or immigrants. For example, the article "Do let's be beastly to cheating Germans" which talks about the "heinous" actions of migrants. This article was published soon after Chancellor Angela Merkel opens doors to immigrants to deal with the aging population of Germany.
Audience- The audience of these articles are mainly republicans. He is not cited as a right-wing columnist by the Daily Mail, but follows the values of many people in the republican party. For example, his article stating "we lost our chance for peace with Putin." This article proceeds to call Putin a "power-mad bully." Though this is a value held by more people than those in the GOP, he also says "Why are the liberals so keen on a black 007?." This point is constantly mentioned in U.S. discussions of the next 007, often a point made by republicans.
Purpose- The purpose of his articles is alike to Moir's; he wants to live in the past. If his racist comment on having a Black 007 is not enough, then his aggressive comment "Ban jihadis? The human rights crowd won't like it" should drive the point home. He does not want people to push for change either socially or politically.
Subject- McKay's writing is all about the quintessential republican values. He will not stop mentioning the war on terrorism until he dies. "Jihad and why young men love going to war" is an extremely typical title of an article from him. He may mention democrats mistakes in office, for example the article "Can Obama guru win for Red Ed? No he can't!", but otherwise articles tend to be war related.
Tone- McKay's tone in all of his articles is mocking. One of his article's title say "Should we pay £50k to guard the party princes?" He does not mention any gratitude for a person and only taunts them with his rude commentary. "There's no peace for poor old Mr Blair" describes Tony Blair's mistakes and issues with international policy, and taunts him for this.
