More absolute shit-stirring culture war bollocks from increasingly unhinged crank Charles Moore - does the once proud Spectator print anything else nowadays?
They've been accusing the National Trust of being 'woke' & 'anti-British' for SEVEN YEARS now - it's just utter bullshit.
On & on they go, like malfunctioning robotic populist nationalist chimps, puking out diatribe after diatribe against one of Britain's best loved & most profoundly BRITISH institutions. 🤪
It's just part of their sad little backward-looking culture war, supported by Andrew Neil.
And all because the National Trust rightly wanted to provide context & mention some important details about the history of some of their buildings.
Imagine the National Trust providing relevant contextualising information!
IT'S WOKE ANTI-BRITISH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!
Just *4%* of people have a negative opinion of the National Trust.
The culture war cranks are upset because until recently they've managed to keep a lid on not revealing too much to British people about Britain's grim colonial past, & its historic ripples, still felt today.
The pathetic attacks on the @nationaltrust are examples of the "cancel culture" & "curtailing of free speech" that these culture war cranks pretend to be against.
It's obviously made up bullshit, the 'source' is anonymous, & the Spectator should not be taken seriously by anyone.
The culture war cranks at the Spectator - like those at GB News & in Government - are doing their level best to turn Britain into a polarised, hateful, small-minded, backward-looking, populist nationalist free-market hellhole. If only there was something linking them...
And ANOTHER shit-stirring Thatcherite culture war crank puking out divisive bullshit.
When he's not blowing smoke up Brextremist crank Daniel Hannan’s arse, or teacher bashing, Hilton writes for Conservative Home, founded by Cultural Marxism conspiracy theorist Tim Montgomerie.
The front-page article, published in the Daily Telegraph, claiming “London is home to as many as 585,000 illegal migrants, equivalent to one in 12 of the city’s population” was covered across the media and widely discussed by politicians and others.
The claim that “One in 12 in London is illegal immigrant” is based on this report, commissioned by Thames Water, conducted by the research company Edge Analytics in February 2023, which the Telegraph says it obtained “under freedom of information-style laws for the environment”.
🧵 Quite a few politically & historically illiterate brainwashed Trump-supporters replied or quote-tweeted the tweet below to tell me lifelong democratic socialist George Orwell was not in fact a democratic socialist. Truly Orwellian. So I asked Oligarch Musk's Grok about it...
In the preface to her newly reissued book, 'Behind the Mask of Chivalry: The Making of the Second Ku Klux Klan - 30th Anniversary Edition', historian @NancyMacLean5 reflects on the resurgence of white power nationalism and political violence in contemporary America.
MaClean is known for her prescient best-selling 2017 book about the post–WWII conservative thinkers and policymakers who shaped the hyper-neoliberal #Project2025, 'Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America',
Evidence of why her prize-winning book has aged well and why @OxUniPress decided to republish it is obvious: numerous instructors continue to assign it, countless historians cite it, and the best Klan scholars have given it well-deserved praise.
According to the UK Electoral Commission website, in June & July 2024 alone, more than £1.7M flooded into Reform UK. Since 2019, more than £16M (73%) of its funding is linked to just nine companies & individuals with offshore interests.
The Electoral Commission website is easy to search, either by donations/loans to particular political parties, or by the names of individuals/organisations funding them. Since 2019, Farage's Reform UK Ltd/Brexit Party has recieved more than £22M (£4.4M/MP) search.electoralcommission.org.uk/?currentPage=1…
My January 2024 article in @BylineTimes revealed that by far the biggest single Reform UK Ltd donor is Thai-based Chris Harborne, who made his fortune in aviation fuel & crypto investing. He's given them around £13.7M (62% of their total donations).
GB "News" is jointly owned by Paul Marshall & Legatum, under the umbrella of holding company All Perspectives: three of its significant shareholders work for Christopher Chandler's Dubai-based investment firm Legatum & three Tory life peers are shareholders or Directors.
The five people listed as having 'significant control' over GB "News" umbrella holding company All Perspectives Ltd are: Philip Vassiliou; Paul Marshall; Richard Douglas; Alan McCormick; & Christopher Chandler.
The House of Lords Register of Interests reveals three Tory life peers are Directors or shareholders of All Perspectives: Lord Agnew of Oulton & Baroness Morrissey are Directors; Lord Farmer is a Shareholder.
Whose interests does free-market propaganda channel GB "News" serve?
