1) This thread starts with the English Democrats' candidate in upcoming by-election in David Amess' constituency & shows how members of the Brexit Party & LM Network have sought to undermine experts during the pandemic.
2) Catherine Blaiklock is the candidate for Tilbrook's English Democrats. Blaiklock started her political career with UKIP & then went on to found the Brexit Party, who's HQ was her B&B in Norfolk. She left UKIP due to their BNP/EDL links. archive.ph/M21qF
3) As noble a stand as that was, however, Blaiklock went on to make racist comments & post racist tweets, resulting in her being forced to resign from the Brexit Party, just 5 months after founding it.
4) Blaiklock shared many Twitter posts by Mark Collett (formerly BNP & currently Patriotic Alternative) so maybe it's not much of a surprise that Tilbrook has enlisted Blaiklock.
6) This will be an ongoing thread, which I'll be updating over the weekend.
7) @hopenothate, who originally exposed Blaiklock's past tweets, have put together a short guide on the upcoming by-election candidates. English Constitution Party's candidate "Daddy Dragon" Moore has shared covid disinformation & even sold ivermectin.
9) Blaiklock's personal website is... erm... interesting. Catherine discusses topics such as "Should Male Politicians Have Shaved Faces?" & "How to Dress Up for the Political Dinner Party?"
10) My original interest in Blaiklock was her involvement with Tilbrook's English Democrats but after looking at the Brexit Party, & because of studying covid disinformation for the past 2 years, I recognised more & more names.
14) Reform UK actually launched as an "anti-lockdown party" and announced their support for the Great Barrington Declaration.
15) In 2020, Brexit Party members Ben Habib, Martin & Lesley Katon set up ULUK Ltd with the disinformation platform Unlocked. One of their first videos included discredited conspiracy theorist Mike Yeadon.
16) In May 2019, @Otto_English@BylineTimes wrote about PR woman Lesley Katon & her connections to Claire Fox.
17) More recently, Katon has been involved in Alan Miller's Hart-backed disinformation campaign #Together
18) *Edit to tweet 15: Martin Daubney
19) Major donor of the Brexit Party, Jeremy Hosking, also financed human-sandwich board of contrarianism @LozzaFox's Reclaim Party. Hosking pumped millions into Fox's flaccid Party. Ex-Brexit Party member, Martin Daubney, was added but deposits were lost.
20) Recently, Fox was pictured with former Brexit Party member Ben Habib, & also @SteveBakerHW, @hartgroup_org coordinator/anti-vax homeopath Anna Rayner, & #Together/#NHS100K poster boy/Breathlessness Clinic owner Steve James.
21) Brexit Party member, @Fox_Claire, denied involvement with disinformation groups. However, out of all the psychologists *currently working* in the UK, Fox picked a retired one from a known anti-vax disinformation group for People's Lockdown Inquiry.
22) People's Lockdown Inquiry website "copyright" cites Fox's Academy of Ideas & the Jeremy Hosking-funded, @LozzaFox-fronted, Reclaim Party.
23) @Fox_Claire 's comrades Furedi & Bristow have co-authored papers in the past. Furedi attended an event with anti-vax disinformation groups @hartgroup_org & @PanData19. Fox is currently in an APPG which works with Bristow's @collateralglbl
2) Hart founder, Narice Bernard, has been spreading disinformation from multiple accounts over the past year. Narice has also just recently deleted his tweet history on his PCR Claims account.
3) Hart coordinator, Anna Rayner. Rayner is not only a conspiracy theorist, she's also a dangerous anti-vax homeopath.
1) Read @WalkerBragman's article, you'll find possibly the epitome of "projection" (see screenshot). As omicron cases surge globally, alongside this surge is also the historical revisionism by GBD'ers as they cling desperately to "herd immunity" & "focused protection"
3) Kuldorff, and fellow GBD'er Bhattacharya, are both involved with ex-AIER Jeffrey Tucker's new "think tank" Brownstone Institute. Kuldorff also recently, I believe, retired from Harvard...
1) The World Council for Health, an "umbrella org.", are yet another dangerous anti-vax disinformation group. Their website, of course, has a "Donate" button.
2) The WCH Steering Committee includes: Anna de Buisseret (Chairperson of L4L, does not hold a licence to practice), who likes to talk a lot about the "Nuremberg Code" & recently falsely claimed covid vaccines were "bio weapons".
3) Dr. Maria Hubmer-Mogg, an anti-vax campaigner, "was fired from the private clinic she had worked for the day after [an] interview was uploaded to YouTube." During this interview, Maria makes many false claims related to vaccines & covid.
1) @NHS100K account was just recently brought to my attention. They claim to be "uniting more than 100k NHS staff who are pro-choice..."
2) @NHS100K only follow 62 accounts, and the below is a collection of the first accounts they followed. I've written about many of these accounts previously.
3) @NHS100K provide links to a couple of suggested organisations & campaigns on their website. The first one being the Workers of England Union, which is linked to the far right English Democrats party.
1) The New World Alliance was incorporated on the 29th Sept. 2021. Company Directors include Dr Stephen Hopwood ("holistic physician") & Peter Burgess (Electrician). Their website is just an absolute mishmash of misinformation.
2) Their website features various videos that have been debunked as misinformation, including "The New Normal" (see my link below) & the "Ask the Experts" video that @mariannaspring has covered.
3) The NWA, based in Devon (not Compton), have a publication that is very similar to the conspiracy rag The Light Truth Paper. It contains dangerous misinformation on vaccines with links to @hartgroup_org, UKMFA & even lists the fraud Andrew Wakefield as a source of info.
1) @Dr_ScottMc has shared an alleged "conversation" & then goes on with an "anecdotal observation". Here's an actual observation: Scott of @QMUL is a member of the anti-vax disinformation group @hartgroup_org
