1) I just noticed that on 28th Feb. 2022, @AndrewRosindell asked a question in Parliament on the topic of "Russian disinformation". This is laughable for two reasons. Firstly, Rosindell introduced the anti-vax disinformation group Hart to the CRG.

Image
2) Secondly, Rosindell was an "honorary vice-president" of the group Conservative Friends of Russia.

3) Article from 2016 discusses the "threat" of Russian agents in the UK & Teresa May's "vows to ban those with links to Putin". "Mrs May's reservations about 'MP forums' are a reference to groups such as the Conservative Friends of Russia"

4) CFoR were founded by Richard Royal, who supposedly gave an interview to "Ilya Goryachev, the former head of Russky Obraz ("Russian Image"), a neo-Nazi outfit". In 2015, Goryachev was sentenced to life in prison.

5) And, speaking of neo-Nazis Russky Obraz, in Nov. 2011, Robin Tilbrook ("current solicitor" of neo-Nazi Mark Collett) met with RO's Executive Committee member Sergey Yerzunov.

Image
6) As I've been shouting about, frustratingly, for the past 2 years, Tilbrook is heavily linked to UK Covid disinformation groups. Christ, @Fox_Claire even promoted the #NHS100K campaign which was tied to Tilbrook's Workers of England Union.

7) To finish, @AndrewRosindell's "good friend", Baron Bernie de Haldevang from Hart, praised Tilbrook's Union.

8) If you haven't looked already then you can still view the old website for the Conservative Friends of Russia at the below link:

9) Now, considering Robin Tilbrook's ties to UK neo-Nazis Patriotic Alternative & Russian neo-Nazis Russky Obraz, who on earth would be stupid enough to promote campaigns linked to him? Well...

ImageImageImage
10) Matthew Elliott, linked to CFoR was also involved in setting up Big Brother Watch. This group have worked with the #TogetherDeclaration & are involved with the APPG working with disinformation groups Collateral Global & Hart.

11) Archived page of CFoR founder Richard Royal interview with Russky Obraz founder Ilya Goryachev (convicted to life in prison in 2015):

12) Archived page of Robin Tilbrook (English Democrats, Workers of England Union & "current solicitor" of neo-Nazi Mark Collett) interview with Ilya Goryachev (Russky Obraz):

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

*As usual, it'll be an ongoing thread.

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.
