#AntiVax Conspiracy Hoaxer Jim Corr @Jimcorrsays - he of the Corrs @TheCorrsMUsic - is defending a #Fascist Rally in #Dublin (one which is being hosted under the false guide of something to do with paedophilia, as usual). And attacking those who try to counter it. Image
@Jimcorrsays @TheCorrsMUsic He routinely posts hoaxes about Vaccines, #Covid19, Anti-Mask, persecution of the Irish by immigrants, Mossad, and #LGBT.

Perhaps at this point 'Jim' would like the opportunity to clarify his views. Image
@Jimcorrsays @TheCorrsMUsic Of course there simply IS no 'Rally against Paedophila' in #Dublin.

it's a #Trump / #QAnon #Homophobe's Day Out, by Hermann Kelly - ex #Ukip, ex #IRA, now an #Irexit loon.

Why Jim Corr would chose to throw his lot in with these Far Right Extremists, only he can explain. ImageImage

A brief 30 second review of @Jimcorrsays timeline will show he's totally a loon. and seemingly edging towards being a complete Far Right Whackjob.

Perhaps he's seeking a new career as Ireland's Tommy Robinson ? Image
@Jimcorrsays Meanwhile the loathsome Hermann Kelly, once #Farage's right hand man (make your own jokes) recently led his 'Irish Freedom Party' in Elections to a stunning ... er ... peak of 2% of the vote, averaging at less than 1% overall.

Copying '7 Times A Loser' #Farage's 'winning ways'. Image

Movie Thread: 🧵

Just rewatched 'A Room With A View' (1985) because my partner insisted. She's a romantic.

In my naive youth when I last saw it, I tagged it as a harmless, albeit competent little love story ... Image
In my maturity I see what it is, now. An indictment of out-of-date social class and manners. And a gentle comedy. With some kissing.

It's a beautiful film, even nearly 40 years on. Every line of dialogue, every glance, is perfect.

Three Oscars, Five BAFTAs. Image

Ah, Helena Bonham-Carter in her breakout role. That Edwardian hair is amazing. How do they even do that? Is there a wire framework under that? Scaffolding? Image

THIS DAY in 1945, as Paris was liberated from the Nazis, with street fighting still ongoing between Germans and Resistance, Alex Allegrier-Carton of the famous Lucas-Carton restaurant went down to his basement with a team of workers ... Image
Through the war, because his place was a favourite of the German officers (they'd read about it in guidebooks) he encouraged the Paris Resistance to meet in an upstairs room - the last place the Gestapo would ever think to check, and they never did ... Image
On this day he had a task to perform.

He pointed to an old wall, telling the workmen to knock it down.

Behind it was the greatest wine cellar in Paris, bricked up in 1940 using antique stones, disguised from the Germans throughout the entire war. Image

Got a police update on a rogue landlord I tackled last year:

Changed locks on his tenants. No reason. No notice. (Trying to force them out as he had higher paying tenants lined up).

Panicking tenants called me. I called Police. They demanded he show up to unlock.

So did they. Image
He did so, but with smell of alcohol on breath and no insurance on his car: BUSTED.

Further examination of documents revealed multiple false identities : BUSTED.

False IDs being used for Tax Evasion purposes: BUSTED.

All because because he got a bit greedy.
So, update: Still awaiting trial - but now under investigation for money-laundering, too.

Some identifiable assets seized as proceeds of crime.

All because because he got a bit greedy. Image

Short Thread on #Election24:

BEWARE THE ZINOVIEV MOMENT.

At some point in this campaign, an increasingly desperate Tory Party might drop the Zinoviev Bomb.

Let me give you some context. Image
The 1924 General Election:

Just 4 days before voting, the Daily Mail ran a story about a letter - the now infamous 'Zinoviev' Letter - from the Soviet Communist Party to the British Labour Party, suggesting (among other things) ... a UK and Empire-wide Bolshevik Revolution.

The Daily Mirror joined in the outrage ... Image

Just came across this lovely little history story:

Back in 1962, EMI were working on various computerised systems for various purposes. Due to funding issues, the entire department was to be closed down. Image
EMI were losing cash and in real trouble.

Then their music division discovered a band in Liverpool that looked quite promising ... Image
The cash generated by the global success of the Beatles propped up other struggling divisions within EMI, including the division run Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield, allowing him to continue his research ... Image

THIS DAY in 1916, the Battle of Verdun ended.

It was France's Somme, lasting from February the whole of the year until December.

303 days made it the longest and costliest battle in human history;

French lost 377,000, Germans almost as many. Image
General Pétain organised day-and-night transport by lorry and taxi, bringing a constant stream of troops into the town.

His narrow victory made him a national hero.

His reputation would be destroyed when in WWII, he collaborated with the Nazis in the Vichy Puppet Government. Image
Nine entire French towns were so completely destroyed they were erased from the map.

This is the High Street of the village of Bezonvaux, today. Image
