I might offend some of my former allies here as a former Brexit campaigner but frankly I’m not that bothered. Many of them are *every bit* as intolerant, conformist, brainwashed, and authoritarian as the lefties they profess to hate.

Why, you ask? Well it’s pretty simple..
They claim they wanted balance from the mainstream media, they claim they wanted something different to the normal.

The moment Dan Wooton did exactly that on GB News, and questioned the Covid orthodoxy and our Supreme Leader, they all went batshit crazy.
“I didn’t sign up to this Boris bashing, I’m turning off,” “this is even worse than the BBC,” were some of the more inane responses.

Let’s be clear: the MSM have given our prat of a PM a completely free ride for 15 months, as have the opposition, to utterly destroy this country.
And yet the moment someone calls him what he is: an authoritarian dictator drunk on power, the Tory Brexiteers are up in arms.

They don’t really want a “balanced news channel” as they profess. They just want to hear a narrative centred completely around their own world view.
Breaking news: that *isn’t* a news channel. News should explore all angles, not feed you what you want to believe. If that’s what you want, I’ve heard North Korea is nice at this time of year.

Put a British flag on anything and these idiots would lap it up.
Of course the ultimate irony isn’t lost on me. These people voted for something (Brexit) saying they wanted their freedom back and yet are now backing the most authoritarian and globalist loving British Prime Minister in living memory; as he trolls us all from Cornwall.
And, for me, that makes them *even worse* than many of the woke leftists.

Don’t claim to love the free market economy whilst supporting a dictator destroying our small and medium businesses (and whole sectors) through communist China-driven lockdowns and no cost/benefit analysis
Don’t claim you stand for British freedom, independence, and sovereignty whilst backing a dictator who will today delay the lifting of draconian restrictions on the basis of 12 “Covid” deaths in a country of 67m people yesterday. TWELVE.
And, most annoyingly, don’t ever claim to be “conservative” whilst backing a globalist party with no intentions of conserving *anything* and with more twisted green/environmental ideals and policies than a Greta Thunberg convention.

You are *exactly* what you say you hate.

🧵MEDIA IS THE VIRUS - PART II🦠

I hoped things couldn’t top the @beverleyturner GMB interview & the lies Metro Newspapers published as a result (pinned). I freely admit I was wrong.

On Monday, @JeremyVineOn5 broadcast one of the most despicable segments I can recall. Why?👇🏻
Through presenter @theJeremyVine, they hosted a 30 min “debate” focused on the question: “Have vaccine refusers let the country down?”

The first thing to note is that this question is deliberately divisive, & there are questions over whether Beverley should’ve taken part at all.
The classic divide and rule tactics of the mainstream media have come to the fore over the past 16 months and one train of thought is that Beverley’s attendance is feeding the perpetual poison on our screens.

But, to her credit, she decided to speak about a topic she believes in

🧵MEDIA IS THE VIRUS🦠

I wonder whether, when @cydneyyeates of @Metro_Ents began her career in journalism, she really believed she would end up resorting to writing complete fabrications.

I don’t mean “I didn’t like what she wrote” I mean total lies👇🏻
metro.co.uk/2021/06/02/thi…
Firstly, the 2nd and 3rd paragraph have just been copied and pasted from any government press release on vaccines. It gives a glimpse into the lack of actual “journalism” happening here. As a former journo myself, I can tell you that “word herder” is a far better description.
But of course the main lie here is the attempt to completely switch realities and discredit the only person in that discussion (@beverleyturner) who was actually speaking the truth. Not my truth, the unarguable, demonstrable truth.

I’m sick of the mainstream media lying so👇🏻

#londonprotest 🧵👇🏻

For those claiming Saturday was some kind of “hijacking” by “controlled opposition” I suggest you watch this 20 min on camera debrief by one of the main organisers.

I want to address some of the points I’ve read in the hours since.
Claim 1: “It was hijacked,” one v well known account said.

This is a demonstrable lie. An event poster before the march clearly states that: “from now on our marches will be taking things up a notch & sending a message. We will no longer be scenically walking through Ldn.” Image
“But instead going on slightly longer routes through community areas to spread the message of awareness.”

So this was very much planned, whether you agree with it or not. For anyone who walked the route, you will have seen dozens of people watching and filming from...
