Excellent, very detailed article on Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s (aka Tommy Robinson) predominantly American funding, the numerous sources, Trump links, his channelling to Russian accounts - and his fear of losing it all in the Libel case.
"In many ways, Mr. Robinson is now useful to the Kremlin — which has often encouraged fringe political figures who might destabilize Western democracies — for the same reasons he was welcome in Mr. Trump’s Washington."
Now that Trump is out of office and the American money is drying up, Robinson is turning to Moscow.... did a media tour of Russia last year but associates told The NYT that ... his agenda was to seek accounts with Russian banks.
"... said [Yaxley] had called him soon after he left prison in Sep 2019 to ask about bank accounts in Russia. [Yaxley] was already facing the libel suit and wanted to hide his money ..."
"Paul [Golding] (of Britain First) advised him to speak to the Russians, how they were helpful with bank accounts. He’s really worried about the Syrian boy getting his money.”
If you’re a #LineOfDuty Fan you might of heard about the QR code Easter egg.
Here is a summary, nothing much in the way of spoilers, but there is a handful of videos on YouTube which go into more detail if you really want to go that route.
@jdpoc A few weeks ago a few people were posting cryptic messages connecting #LineOfDuty with a QR code. It took folks quite a while to find it without guidance but it’s there on the magazine cover which highlighted the murdered journalist.
@jdpoc Some people have had more technical skills than me and have screencappec this QR code, cleaned it up, and scanned it which takes you to a website which give you this:
Sunday Mirror has a big upcoming story on Patriotic Alternative.
The journalist involved sent full copy of story to those involved.
Instead of responding, they have orchestrated (Parler & Gab) a targeted campaign of harassment against her.
@jdpoc So far we (FRW) have a fairly full folder of screen captures, 106 items so far and continuing.
Many include death threats.
Almost all are “anonymous“ accounts, but we have identities on at least 2/3 of them.
@jdpoc Stay safe, @amylsharpe. The screenshots that we take are merely a precaution but you are likely to come under intense pressure before the weekend. I’ve seen the copy you sent to PA. It is factual and balanced.
The actual people from *THAT* meme, 10 years on ...

Yes, people (oh, have a sense of humour) it's a trio cosplaying for effect.
This wasn't ever intended as a Social Media Experiment - but it's sure turned into one, as a perfect example of those who RT the first post without seeing the second.
I've never lusted after the latest model ... I had a second hand dinky little iPhone 4 until a year ago, then ''upgraded'' to a second-hand not much larger iPhone 5s which was cool and did what I needed it to do..

... the latest iPhones are just that bit too big, physically, to carry safely and comnfortably in my pocket (my opinion).
So I just plumped for a dinky second-hand iPhone SE from 2020 - on eBay. £30. Absolute bargain. Mint. Apple call it their 'budget' version.

Apparently on reviews, the only downside is battery life :
It is (quoting TechSpurt)
"More pants than the annual Pants Convention hosted by Penelope Pants wearing a dozen pairs of really bad pants ..."
.. but that guy was gaming for hours. Not really my bag. So I'm good :-)
I’ve just now found out about this perfect little gem of information:
Do you remember Julie Briskman? She was the cyclist who gave the #Trump motorcade the finger. #Trump demanded she was fired, and she was.
@jdpoc So angry was she, she decided to run for office and defeated the local Republican candidate on her local Virginia State Council. She was sworn in today. And there is a beautiful little punchline…
@jdpoc ... she is now on the Local Board of Supervisors that overseas legislation for leisure facilities in her county.
A county which includes #Trump’s National Golf Club.
it’s just another little thing that’s made my day.
