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.

1) I'm not entirely sure how we stop Hart/Us for Them/Collateral Global/UKMFA etc, from working with government backbenchers & members of the House of Lords. All we can do is post evidence of their disinformation & nefarious exploits.

2) The Secretariat of @EstherMcVey1 & Graham Stringer's APPG is Sunetra Gupta's Collateral Global but, also, cited as Secretariat are two members of Hart. Most "evidence" is provided by Hart members too.

Image
3) One member of Hart, Val Fraser, who's actually listed on Hart's website so not a "hidden" member like discredited crank Mike Yeadon. Val wanted to stop people from receiving a vaccine.

I see wee Damian is yet again targeting women. @profnfenton @cricketwyvern @GarySidley @Taka_tut have a word with your colleague as he's an embarrassment. Damian supposedly wants a debate but he has blocked everyone & is now ranting to his gullible followers.
Damian does not like getting pulled up for his behaviour. Someone in Hart needs to help him before he posts something that will make your group look worse than you already do. Image
Damian's pal Bruce, another disgusting human being, gives Damo a character reference. Image

Mis-/dis-information/propaganda thrives due to the "useful idiots" that share it. Either through their selfish & nefarious means or by their lack of critical thinking skills. People die cause some twonk with a huge social media following spreads disinformation, knowingly or not.
So frustrating seeing people that I know, you know, everyone knows is a complete idiot, sharing the most obvious horseshit and their followers lap it up, share, and so on.
And, the more people who share the horseshit, the more likely it is that tabloid press pick up on it and publish the horseshit like its "fact".

Absolutely not a novel idea but we seriously need to clampdown on lies. The whole post-truth, Bannon-esque "flood the zone with shit", politics has damaged & continues to damage the UK/US. We also let complete charlatans influence public health & they continue to work with MPs.
Freedom of speech, of course, has consequences. If you've used your freedom of speech to spread falsehoods, create fear, then you should also accept responsibility for your actions.
The "debate me, bro" "scientists", the academics that have used their credentials to convince others to not get vaccinated, the academics & scientists who teamed up with Yeadon, all need to be investigated for their contribution to the high number of covid deaths.

1) It's quite interesting that, in Feb. 2021, in response to @NafeezAhmed @BylineTimes a spokesperson said “The Legatum Institute plays no part whatsoever in GB News. It does not fund GB News, the funder being (in part) the Legatum Group."

bylinetimes.com/2021/02/15/gb-…
2) That was maybe true in Feb. 2021, however, according to GB News accounts, on 8th Sept. 2021, "All Perspectives Ltd" became "a person with significant control".

…te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/128593… ImageImage
3) Then a quick look at All Perspectives Ltd's accounts, it shows that Christopher Lincoln Chandler became "a person with significant control" with the "right to exercise... significant influence or control over the activities of the trust... [&] over the company." ImageImageImageImage

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. ImageImageImageImage
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 ImageImageImageImage
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.
