Thread on David Miller's network:

David Miller of @BristolUni has spent years spreading anti-Jewish racism, Russian state propaganda & crank conspiracy theories. His views & behaviour have long been documented & highlighted.

So no decent person would want to follow him? Right?

Yet he has thousands of Twitter followers.
Many are from academia.
It seems that British academics think he's a voice to follow.

I thought I'd highlight some of David Miller's followers.

But - i'm not going to include the very many academics as...

..they might conceivably follow him so as to keep informed about this crankademic. That's very charitable of me. I'm like that.
I also won't include the many journalists who follow him, for obvious reasons.

So, who does follow this racist crank of @BristolUni salary & position?

Well, it's no surprise to see that some familiar names appear in this list. People who seem to make a habit of following anti-Jewish racist cranks.

First up is - inevitably - @UKLabour NEC member, former Head of Disputes & Manchester Cllr @Yasmine_Dar

Next up is another with a track record of following anti-Jewish racists: yes, it's former Green Party leader @natalieben

Along with @akalamusic - he just can't resist an anti-Jewish account, can he?

Next we have another regular moth to the flame of anti-Jewish cranks: @UKLabour Cllr @vicwintergreen

Why does comedian @JosieLong follow David Miller? I'd ask her, but she already has me blocked. I wonder why?

Think of a major UK charity that has long had a stench of antisemitism about it and also happens to fund Israel Apartheid Week. Yes, it's @WarOnWant
Why does WoW follow racist crank David Miller?

Next up is another regular guest in these threads. It's former Deputy Director of Comms & Strategy for Corbyn - Steve Howell.
Why does @FromSteveHowell follow David Miller?
It's a mystery, isn't it?

Stating the bleedin' obvious now - yes, @STWuk just happen to follow a toxic racist crankademic. I can't think why that might be.

Now, you might wonder why @theSNP Foreign Affairs Spokesman @AlynSmith follows David Miller, given that Miller is a racist crankademic.

You could ask him.

You could ask the @nusuk Charity Director @peterrob1963 why he follows David Miller?

Equally you could ask @UKLabour Cllr & @BristolSouthLab member @JonnyWelly why he follows local racist crankademic David Miller.

Now, i don't think anyone needs to ask @NancyWMendoza why she follows David Miller.

Or former Level 42 drummer @bongosaloon (he still hasn't sued me for libel despite promising to years ago). Wake up Phil!

But we might ask why the assistant director of @EdinRapeCrisis follows an anti-Jewish crankademic. This affects any Jewish women who might need to seek the assistance of the centre.
So maybe ask @MaggieChapman

Ok - this will test you.
Why, why, why might Corbyn ally and all round superstar of the Galloway/Corbyn Left @SalmaYaqoob follow David Miller?

I know, it's a tough one.

Hello @Emina_ibrahim - @UKLabour Cllr and Haringey Council cabinet member.

Why exactly do you follow David Miller?

I am stumped. No idea why Kerry-Anne Mendoza would follow an anti-Jewish crankademic. Baffled. I think i need to lie down.

But how about Green Party Cllr for Leith @CllrChasBooth ?
Why does Chas follow David Miller?

Or @scottishgreens MSP @markruskell - why does Mark follow a racist, conspiracy theorist crankademic?

You could ask him.

Off to Wales now - why does @UKLabour Welsh MS @AlunDaviesMS follow a racist crankademic? Was Alun's judgement clouded by having had a drink?

When it comes to @UKLabour councillors who crop up in a list of cllrs following anti-Jewish accounts here, you have to hand it to @333maggiemay - she really does perform well (or badly, obviously).

What is it about @NEUnion ?

Why does their Exec member and candidate to be Gen Sec @Niamhms23 follow David Miller?

And NEU rep @Robbmonster - why does he follow racist crankademic David Miller?

We really might wonder why @ScottishTUC General Secretary @RozFoyer is following anti-Jewish racist crankademic David Miller?

Oops. Back to the @NEUnion
You know, representing many of those who teach our children.

Why is current Joint Gen Sec @cyclingkev following a well known anti-Jewish crankademic?

Back to @ScottishTUC - it seems there's a trend at the top as Deputy Gen Sec @DaveSTUC also follows David Miller, just like the Gen Sec.

Why is vice Chair of @UKLabour Somerton & Frome CLP @billythepink following an anti-Jewish crankademic?

We might also wonder why @UKLabour Southport CLP treasurer @lindaheap follows David Miller?

And why does @BrsNorthwest CLP follow David Miller?

So - yet again all these "good" people seem to have stumbled into following a notorious anti-Jewish, conspiracy theorist crankademic at @BristolUni

The intersection (see what i did there?) of the Left and anti-Jewish hate neatly encapsulated.
