Antisemitic wingnut Kate Shemirani was the main speaker at today’s “Resist And Act For Freedom” protest in central London ImageImage
Looking at the rest of the speakers at yesterday’s anti-lockdown rally: Doloros Cahill is the chair of the hard right Irish Freedom Party, and believes in hydroxychloroquine as a COVID cure

irishtimes.com/news/ireland/i…
Cahill was launched to alt-right fame after being interviewed by Irish YouTuber Dave Cullen, who is so right-wing he thinks Sargon of Akkad is a Marxist

Kevin Corbett is an ex-nurse, not a medical doctor. (His PhD is in Social Sciences, from London South Bank University.) Among his beliefs: that the “dominance of abstract art” is a form of “McCarthyite witch-hunt” and that extra buses for kids is “Nazi”... ImageImage
...Like the other anti-maskers, Corbett loves to compare public health measures to the Nazi Holocaust (which is a softcore form of Holocaust denial) ImageImageImageImage
...It’s a claim Kate Shemirani has also made thejc.com/news/uk/suspen… Image
Mark Steele is an ex-convict from Gateshead who has spent the last couple of years harassing local council employees because he believes 5G kills animals

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Stee…
In 2018, Steele it was a speaker for the far right Democrats and Veterans Party on the subject of 5G Networks. He’s also involved with various far right movements in the North East.
Niall McCrae is an activist with the Bruges Group, a far right anti-EU pressure group who support Putin, have links to the LaRouche movement, and think “cultural Marxism” is taking over the world

vice.com/en_uk/article/…
McCrae gained some notoriety for threatening @Femi_Sorry at a Brexit rally last year theguardian.com/education/2019…
Del Bigtree, appearing via video link, is an anti-vaxx hero
and is also big on Infowars
Other speakers: Mikael Nordfors, Swedish physician who has been investigated for malpractice; Sherri Tenpenny, says MMR causes autism; Andrew Kaufman, natural healer who says vaccination is a form of genetic modification... Image
The insane pro-Trump conspiracist movement QAnon also had a small presence as the demo again.
The anti-mask movement seems to have hooked up with some semi-mainstream hard right politicians such as ex-UKIP London Assembly member David Kurten ImageImageImageImage
The way that the anti-mask movement links up apolitical people concerned about the virus with the semi-respectable post-UKIP hard right and with outright fascists and antsemitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust deniers is pretty scary, IMHO.

1/x A thread on “Tommy Robinson”, the riots and “Zionism”, covering Yaxley-Lennon’s funding, his relationship to Zionism and his role in the riots. I’ll try not to make it too long this time…

A. Who funds “Tommy Robinson”?

Some fringe anti-Zionist influencers (many of whom work for Iranian state media and/or are deeply antisemitic), such as David Miller, Lowkey, Richard Medhurst, Nick Fuentes, Anas Altikriti, have blamed the riots on Israel/Zionism…

…It’s true that in the 2010s Robinson was connected to and funded (in the 10s of $1000s) by a US-centred network of counter-jihadi donors and thinktanks who were aggressively pro-Israel and linked to the Israeli right… theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/d…

So, "Tommy Robinson" (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has called for his followers to join a march against antisemitism, to a resoundingly negative response from the organisers and the mainstream Jewish community. Quick thread on him and his supporters... Image
"Tommy Robinson" (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) joined the fascist British National Party (BNP) in 2004 age 20, stayed for a year. In this pic he's with Holocaust denier Richard Edmonds (convicted of racist violence in the 1990s). But was this just some youthful thing? Image
In 2012, Yaxley-Lennon became the deputy leader of the British Freedom Party, which was led by disgruntled BNP members and advocated "cultural nationalism". Its logo echoes (L) echoes that of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (R)

I only just realised this “#OctoberDeclaration” against antisemitism comes from Allison Pearson and Laura Dodsworth. IMHO those two are racists conspiracy-mongers nobody should go near. Some examples:
1/ Laura Dodsworth’s book _State of Fear_ (endorsed by the likes of GBNews presenter Neil Oliver) draws heavily on the discredited work of 911 truther and full-time atrocity denialist Piers Robinson. See @DAaronovitch: archive.is/https://www.th…
Image
2/ Dodsworth is also close to Max Blumenthal, another professional atrocity denier and disinfo entrepreneur.

Unsurprisingly, all the worst people are defending Russell Brand. For posterity, here’s a few:

On Friday, a California storekeeper, Laura Ann Carlton, was shot dead for flying a Pride flag. The killer has been named as Travis Ikeguchi. The son of a Florida state trooper, he was a Christian fascist radicalised online...

He was a prolific re/tweeter: I just looked through 3 months of his output. As well as Christian fundamentalism and a tsunami of homophobia + transphobia, there’s a wide range of conspiracy theories, linking mainstream conservative anti-LGBT culture wars with fascist terror…
At the heart of his cosmology is a set of hate figures he identified as the globalist elite or the Illuminati — Gates, Soros, Schwab, Fauci, the World Economic Forum. These are shared obsessions with QAnon, anti-vaxxers and those who follow the “Great Reset” conspiracy theory.

Inspiring general strike in Al-Suwayda, Syria, including by shopkeepers and public sector workers. Slogans call for dignity and reject the house of Assad.
In an effort to contain protest, yesterday Syria’s dictator Assad doubled state salaries (they’re now just 8% of an average family’s cost of living). Seven minutes later he raised the price of diesel by 300% and gasoline by 170%.
Mass protests across southern Syria, especially Daraa, after Friday prayers last night, demanding the fall of the House of Assad and decent living conditions. (Political liberty and social struggles are intertwined under a warlord kleptocracy.)
