*Entirely predictably*, 'Coast Guy' has joined #GBNews.

Neil Oliver's #QUALIFICATIONS:

Declared his love for racist David Starkey! 🤪

Said young people shouldn’t go to university because Universities have succumbed to a "Maoist" cultural revolution! 🤪

thenational.scot/news/18557601.… Image
RTd hard-right crank Paul Joseph-Watson! 🤪

Said #BlackLivesMatter activists are 'anarchists & communists' who want to “bring down British society”! 🤪

Claimed the removal of slave trader Edward Colston’s statue was the first step to the reintroduction of the guillotine! 🤪 ImageImageImage
Compared the wearing of facemasks in order to help reduce #COVID19 transmission to Communism! 🤪

Described Extinction Rebellion as "a children's crusade"! 🤪

Is "mystified" by why anyone would enjoy watching football! 🤪

He's a PERFECT fit for #GBNews. 🤪 Image
Neil Oliver is a typical right-wing rent-a-gob: he pretends he's 'ideology-free' while spouting divisive libertarian ideology.

By undermining experts, & persuading people to risk their lives & the lives of others, he prioritises individual freedom over collective responsibility. Image

Eton exemplifies the world of archaic rules & unconscionable wealth, where only success counts - no matter how it is attained.

It is a system that "underpins almost all that is wrong with British society," as Boris Johnson's sister, Rachel, has said.

spiegel.de/international/…
Boris Johnson's government doesn't represent "modern Great Britain," as Johnson has claimed, but an archaic system that teaches those who belong to it that they are destined for the kind of greatness that others cannot reach.
It is a system that teaches the preservation & exercise of power, but it also one in which the shrewd & cunning, but not necessarily the best, rise to the top.

How it started. How it's going.🔥 Image
In other news... Image
I used to quite respect Andrew Neil, not least because he gave pretty much all politicians a tough time.

But since he left the @BBC he's become a pompous & insufferably arrogant arse, determined to polarise Britain even further.

All quite sad really.

I see #antifa is trending.

On 13 April 1985, Danuta Danielsson, of Polish-Jewish origin, whose mother had been put in a concentration camp during WWII, hit a neo-nazi of the now defunct Nordic Reich Party with her handbag in Växjö, Sweden.

The fascists were chased out of town. Image
The photo was taken during a small demonstration of The Nordic Realm Party supporters in 1985, held shortly after a public speech delivered by the Left Party-Communists leader in Växjö, & skirmishes between left-wing supporters & neo-Nazis began even before the demonstration.
The photo was taken by photojournalist Hans Runesson & was published the next day on the front page of the Swedish national newspaper Dagens Nyheter, & on April 15 1985 by two British newspapers The Times & The Daily Express.

Free market capitalists INSISTED on the free movement of cheap labour - then they scapegoated migrants.

They INSISTED on deregulating the financial system - then WE bailed out the banks.

They then INSISTED on #austerity, which punished the poor, & made the rich even richer.

🤬
Since 2009, while we've endured a decade of stagnated wages, & declining living conditions & public services, according to the Times Rich List, the wealth of the richest 1,000 people in Britain - who fund the Tories - has INCREASED by a staggering £480 BILLION.

#StopVotingTory
We've had FORTY YEARS of this. Fewer than 3 in 10 of the electorate voted Tory in 2019, but because they've invested in & now pretty much own & control the news media narrative, through which they manufacture 'consent' to govern, they KEEP getting elected.

“It’s just a horse, a dumb, unfeeling creature, unaware of pain, unaware even of its own existence... When you whip a horse it doesn’t think “This is so painful & humiliating” because it is incapable of thought" - Brendan O'Neill writing about Grand National horse deaths in 2013.
He wrote this crap in a Telegraph article: "So what if a few horses die in the Grand National? It is our pleasure, not their wellbeing, that is important".
Shamefully, he's rarely off national broadcast news & politics shows, & often appears in the Press. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/what-is-bren…
Brendan O'Neill has made a career out of championing 'free speech' while abusing it to demonize anyone he disagrees with.

People should know what he is: a divisive contrarian who takes money from billionaires to help keep ordinary people angry & divided.
