Fuck Andrew Neil's shit-stirring hard-right propaganda hate-rag, the @spectator.

And fuck Andrew Neil's shit-stirring hard-right propaganda hate-channel, GB "News".

The toxic bastards who fund this crap help to demonise the good guys & support the nasty selfish lying bastards.
Marcus represents the very best of British. The
@spectator, GB "News", much of the press & the Govt represent the very worst. They fear successful, decent, honest & altruistic role models - it's completely alien to them that people choose to help others, rather than themselves.
Yesterday 96 more lives were needlessly lost, today we're told UK journalists could face prison sentences of up to 14 years for stories that 'embarrass the Govt', & tonight @BBCNews went full Farage about migrants crossing the channel.

Britain resembles a failed fascist state.
And as for hard-right NUMPTY Andrew fucking Neil, he's one of deregulated free market capitalism's most powerful & vocal #propagandists - the catastrophic & divisive economic system which brought us the global financial crash, grotesque wealth inequality, & the climate crisis.
As Murdoch's lackey he was a nasty bastard, & his shitrag the Spectator relentlessly pukes out divisive #propaganda, deliberately outraging & polarising, demonising decent people while defending actual neo-Nazis & sucking up to vile authoritarian bastards like Viktor Orban.
Since parting ways with Murdoch, he's attempted to cultivate the character a 'maverick outsider' - is he fuck. I'm not sure that outside of the Royal family it's possible to be any more establishment than this charlatan. And as for the company he keeps...

Here he is spouting shite about climate change:

And as for fucking GB "News", funded by hedge funders & vulture capitalists who thrive on chaos & division, & adored by racists, they slagged off Guto Harri for taking the knee then appointed king of the racists Nigel Farage!

It IS Britain's Fox News.

The bastards downplay racism, went for Southgate & the England team, & now they're gunning for Marcus Rashford, a young working class black man who's done more good in the last few years than all those horrible arrogant bastards combined. These vile twats can all just FUCK OFF.
And here he is tonight, RTing fellow grotesque freak Julie fucking Burchill. To think I once watched the bellend on TV. Andrew Neil now symbolizes everything wrong with Britain. Bollocks to him.
Here.

🧵 QUALITY OF LIFE - DENMARK🇩🇰 vs USA🇺🇸

JD Vance has told Greenlanders that life with the US would be better than with Denmark.

Musk, Trump & Vance insist that Europe is in many ways inferior to the US.

But how accurate are their claims? What does the evidence say?

#FactCheck Image
Brainwashed by billionaire's propaganda, force-fed a diet of dumbed-down soundbites, divisive, misleading bigoted rhetoric, and adolescent memes, many Americans simply have little idea about how their quality of life compares to the average European's.

Let's consider the best evidence, and compare the US to Denmark on multiple key quality of life indicators:

🚨 Danes on average live four years longer than Americans

🚨 The US is 24th in the world in the happiness rankings. Denmark is No 2 (after Finland)

🧵 Online #Incel communities foster misogyny, resentment & extremism, which have led to multiple murderous attacks in the US & UK, motivated by hatred toward women.

Their echo chambers also amplify mental health issues like isolation & anger, radicalizing vulnerable men & boys. Image
In the US, proven murders attributable to incels include: Elliot Rodger, who killed 6 & injured 14 in a shooting & stabbing spree; Lyndon McLeod shot & killed 5; & Mauricio Garcia shot & killed 8 & injured 7.

In the UK, Jake Davison shot & killed 5, including a 3-year-old girl. Image
Farage defended his Reform UK MP who was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend (which wasn't disclosed to voters before he was elected), & in 2014, he dismissed as "just a joke" an MEP's comment that beating women "helps bring wives back to Earth."

When is a “think tank” not a think tank?

A 🧵 about how spurious and inflammatory claims, based on unevidenced cherry-picked data, are passed off as truth by partisan private limited companies and used as a weapon to divide voters and to scapegoat and demonise migrants. Image
At 1.32pm on Monday 10th March, The Telegraph published the claim that based on “the first data analysis of its kind. Data from the Ministry of Justice, obtained under freedom of information laws,” shows that “Foreigners [are] convicted of nearly a quarter of sex crimes.” Image
Chris Philp, shadow home secretary, said the figures were “shocking.”

Shadow justice secretary, Robert Jenrick, said: “Not only is mass migration making us poorer, but this data proves it’s also making us dramatically less safe.”

A Govt spokesman did not dispute the figures. Image

Democracy is under attack. As with the US, Italy is 1 of 5 European Govts undermining the rule of law ‘in nearly all aspects’, with changes to the judiciary & a “heavy intolerance to media criticism”, fueling Europe’s deepening “democratic recession”.

theguardian.com/world/2025/mar…
A report by Civil Liberties Union for Europe said Italy was one of five “dismantlers” – with Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania & Slovakia – that “intentionally undermine the rule of law in nearly all aspects”.

Hungary has long been an “electoral autocracy.”

theguardian.com/world/2022/sep…
“Europe’s democratic recession has deepened.”

The report highlights judicial systems subject to political manipulation, weak law enforcement against corruption, overuse of fast-track legislative procedures, harassment of journalists & growing restrictions on peaceful protests.

Many of Britain's most vocal 'anti-establishment' voices attended some of the most expensive schools on earth.

These broken boys masquerade as 'anti-elite' while serving the interests of the ultrarich by turning working class people against each other using 'Divide & Rule'. Image
Moscow born Konstantin Vadimovich Kisin came to the UK aged 11 & was sent to Clifton College boarding school (current fees: up to £18,360/term).

He recently said about Rishi Sunak "He’s a brown Hindu; how is he English?" He's a regular speaker at Paul Marshall's ARC conference. Image
Rupert James Graham Lowe was sent to Radley College, an all-boys independent boarding school (current fees: up to £19,200/term).

Lowe worked in the City of London for companies such as Morgan Grenfell, Deutsche Bank and Barings Bank. Image

Jacob Rees-Mogg's dad's 1997 book was originally called The Sovereign Individual: *How to Survive & Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State*😱

It predicted “cybercurrency,” the decline of nation-states & the ascendance of a “cognitive elite” who would rule the world.
My own summary is above, but journalist @gilduran76 - of the brilliant #FrameLab - has now written his own summary, review and interpretation of it, which I reproduce with a few links and commentary, below.

Access his original (25 February) article here:

thenerdreich.com/the-sovereign-…
To fully understand Silicon Valley’s project to destroy democracy, read 'The Sovereign Individual: How to Survive and Thrive During the Collapse of the Welfare State.'

In 1999, it was rebranded as 'The Sovereign Individual: Mastering the Transition to the Information Age.' Image
