Former Revolutionary Communist Party "leader" Frank Furedi attacks the EU & funding of NGOs & defends the Hungarian government. No surprise then that Furedi's recently launched "think tank" is "generously funded" by Orbán's regime

globeecho.com/news/europe/in… ImageImageImageImage
MCC Chair of the Board of Trustees, Baláz Orbán (no relation), is Viktor Orbán's political director.

Furedi's piece has now been published in @spikedonline

No mention of Furedi's ties to the Hungarian government though. Image

1) So Molly Kingsley from Us for Them claims UfT have "nothing to do with" the Safer to Wait leaflets. Even threatening @dgurdasani1 with lawyers. Molly loves to claim innocence of not being involved with other groups, however, we have the receipts...

ImageImageImage
2) I posted the below thread on the day Hart's Clare Craig announced the launch of Safer to Wait. #Hartleaks revealed exactly who was involved. UfT's Ros Jones/Maidment is listed first in About Us on their website & there's a link to UfT's website too.

ImageImage
3) The leaflets in question appear on Safer to Wait's Our Leaflets page & on the download it has a big old Safer to Wait logo on there.

1) @_johnbye highlights the absurd hypocrisy of Hart-affiliated group UKMFA. Anti-vaxxers the White Rose also promoted UKMFA/Hart's latest campaign. ImageImage
2) UKMFA is a loon collective. Made up of anti-5G retired doctors & a "holistic dentist".

3) UKMFA founder & Hart member, Liz Evans, is also on the advisory board of notorious anti-vaxxer RFK Jr's Children's Health Defense Europe. So when MPs work with Us for Them & Hart, they are allowing RFK/Andrew Wakefield-inspired views into Parliament.

1) New @BylineTimes article by @NafeezAhmed & @karamballes highlighting a lot of familiar names who have been involved with Covid disinformation.

bylinetimes.com/2022/06/08/cha…
2) And of course Claire Fox is linked. Fox has been involved with flaccid-fascist @LozzaFox employing a member of anti-vax disinformation group Hart, Claire is also in an APPG which takes "advice" from Hart members. #Hartleaks

3) Toby Young's Daily Sceptic writer, Will Jones, was also revealed by #Hartleaks as being a regular contributor to their chats. Even using anecdotes from other members for his articles.

I'm RT'ing this thread again as I was just reminded of how MPs, Peers, scientists & academics have been willing to work with people who are tied to neo-Nazis, Holocaust denial, racist conspiracies & Russian propaganda, purely to further their "cause".
And you have the gutter-level fascists like Daubney, Fox, GB News presenters, etc, riling up their followers with tabloid "culture war" nonsense.

Of course, the sad thing is people become invested into this shite, they believe conspiracies like the Great Replacement & anti-vax bollocks, they then develop hatred towards minorities & die from preventable diseases. While the instigators make money & appear on more TV shows.
