Imho, this is culture-war-lite garbage, set up on a completely false premise: the idea that anyone exists who actually advocates for schools having NO rules.

This condescending, pompous & regressive 1950s hard-right throwback, adored by the Right, actually runs a school! 😳
Says everything that headteacher of a "free school" Katharine Birbalsingh confused Lord of the Flies (about a group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island) with Lord of the Rings (about hobbits featuring a Dark Lord striving for world domination by magic & physical violence). Image
An actual Headteacher! 🤯 ImageImage

On Fox News on 24 June, Carlson, in front of a screen with the words “anti-white mania”, raged that the US could “become Rwanda”.

Republicans have compared Democrats to Nazis & a "news" host suggested tens of thousands of Americans should be executed.'

In 2018, Sky News Australia sparked outcry after it broadcast an interview with a far-right #nationalist #extremist who has expressed his admiration for #Hitler.

Sky News Australia CEO Angelos Frangopoulos downplayed it as "an error of judgment".

Frangopoulos is GB "News" CEO. ImageImageImage
GB News' creators clearly believe that US-style grievance politics can sustain at least a low-budget, tactically neutered version of Fox.

GB "News" is a right-wing TV "news" channel. Britain hasn’t had one of those before. The shift is real.

Missing context for *that* photo - instigated it seems by @AskNationwide - not Downing St - as part of their 'respect in footbal' campaign.

So why on earth would Downing St release the cropped photo on the right?

Or if they didn't, why would @PoliticsForAlI say they did?
So it looks like @10DowningStreet released several photos from the photoshoot with @AskNationwide, but @PoliticsForAlI chose to release the one they did without supplying any context.

Was this lazy, deliberate, or something else?

Well Mr Adam Shit-Stirrer Hilton, in 2004 (17 years ago) Charles Moore was Telegraph editor when stories about George Galloway were published, which led to a successful libel action.

The newspaper had falsely written that Galloway received payments from Saddam Hussein's regime.
Moore was Chair of free-market think tank Policy Exchange, & in 2007 (14 years ago) he entered the debate over 'The Hijacking of British Islam', a misleading & widely condemned Policy Exchange report which the @BBC had found relied on fabricated evidence.

Moore hates the @BBC, which he claims is biased against climate change deniers. 🤪

He views the threat of climate change as alarmism & in 2019 (2 years ago) claimed it's designed to produce “unprecedented government control & the relative impoverishment of western societies”. 🤪

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!
