Sam Melia is the bloke behind the 'Hundred Handers' (check the alliteration) a stickering campaign that spread hate messages across the UK & US last year, as @HopeNotHate revealed. /2 hopenothate.org.uk/2020/08/11/exp…
This might explain tweets today. Tyrie claims that her and Melia were attacked by 'Antifa' in Rotherham.
Considering Melia's handiwork, it's likely they weren't there picking up a new coffee machine at Curry's. /3
The involvement of Melia with Patriotic Alternative and the attendant surveillance that would come with the involvement of a former adherent of a terror group might explain why Tyrie's bank account was frozen last month.
Banks don't like to be seen funding terror. /FIN

Stuttgart has its own electoral madness - and mini-Trump. We choose a new mayor this weekend, and one of the candidates is this guy, Michael Ballweg. /1
Michael Ballweg is deep into the 'Querdenker' movement - an organizer, in fact. This takes him to rallies where he speaks alongside members of Far Right groups and anti-vaxxers who oppose masks and lockdowns. /2
Michael Ballweg claims that his company, that produced software, was boycotted due to his political belief.
Really, Bosch, Thyssen-Krupp and another company ended contracts with him last year because he discontinued the product. (German) swr.de/swraktuell/bad… /3
I think we've had enough of real life horror, so here's a 'true' tale from Niederbayern - lower Bavaria.
Depending on your attitude towards the supernatural, it's either a true tale of the restless dead, or a strange case of mass hysteria - both uniquely chilling... /1
Tittling is a small town near Passau, in Bavaria. It's roughly equidistant from both the Czech and Austrian borders, and is surrounded by thick, dense woods. It's a place that's still a little behind the rest of the world, in a strange sense... /2
At the beginning of 1975, drivers travelling between Tittling and the town of Thurmannsbang started to report coming across a woman in black - normally aged in appearance - hitchhiking by the side of the road.
Awesome! Archaeologists have excavated an entire Celt grave from the ground on the Heuneburg, near Herbertingen, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.
Let me tell you why this 'Keltenblock' matters. /1
First, the Heuneburg is a very significant site. It shows evidence of settlement over centuries, during the Iron Age. What's more, unlike the vast majority of Celt settlements, this appears to resemble a 'city' - a large trading and residential complex. /2
Indeed, Heuneburg bills itself as 'the first place/city in Germany'. It could be the very first city in northern Europe. Herodotus, the Greek historian, appears to refer to it as 'Pyrene' - a large trading centre. /3
Laventiy Beria. Stalin's chief of the NKVD (Secret police). Ran the gulag system. Responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands (perhaps into the millions) in purges. A sexual sadist, rapist and murderer. Buried bodies were found at his dacha.
Leopold II. Owned the Congo, all by himself. Used it to make money. Biggest slaveowner in history. Responsible for the deaths of up to 10 million Congolese through murders, starvation, exploitation and torture.
I have *never* seen so many cops out on the streets and trains here. Mask enforcement really is no joke.
Also, loads of DB/transit security guys who are extremely tooled up. It's like they diverted all the football hooligan-focused cops to this.
It's funny though. They're extremely polite, and very patient, but you WILL wear a mask or find yourself off at the next platform.
BW, as opposed to other Bundesländer, seems to be very low key with regulations - it's a surprise when you see a change to the way things used to be done.
Bayern, on the other hand, it's much more in your face.
So I've mentioned that a British fascist group called Patriotic Alliance are putting out their own home schooling curriculum. I've finally managed to look at it and well, buckle up... /1
The first document on offer is titled 'Be Proud Of Your People' and promises parents and kids activities to inspire pride in 'British and European peoples'.
For some reason, it kicks off with a description of Black Lives Matter (?) as a Soros-funded Marxist organisation. /2
Then, when suggesting activities to highlight the achievements of British ancestors, they encourage the discussion of the 'true intentions of BLM' that can be found at the beginning of the document (?) /3.
