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.
4) The @BylineTimes article in tweet 1 above also mentions a donor, Lord Fink, funnily enough, Fink has also donated money to the Chair of the Select Committee for Education, Robert Halfon MP.
5) Another campaign involving Claire Fox and her comrade Frank Furedi, is the #TogetherDeclaration. Spearheaded by @alanvibe who is also linked to Fox's Ideas group.
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".
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.
"If guns are now the leading cause of death in American children, why are the US sending weapons to Ukraine to protect kids from being slaughtered by Russia?" What a numbnuts.
Turning Point "talent". hahahaha! Political commentary of such a standard that each new comment cancels out the stupidity of the previous ones.
If, after this week especially (but, to be fair, it could be any week of the past 2 years, & more), you still think/believe that Tories & US GOP actually care about constituents/society in general & you get angry about moral panics & "culture wars", you're beyond help, I'm afraid
Qanon/"Save the Children" bollocks is a perfect example of pure delusion. Zealots who think "we have to save the babies but don't you dare deny me the right to buy a military grade hand cannon from the supermarket!"
I've been looking into the Heritage Foundation today, their ties to UK Tories & how we should be worried about what happens in the US possibly happening in the UK. @karamballes's thread below gives some background & I'll update my thread soon.
1) I just caught up on last night's Dispatches. And, as much as I admire the journalist who went undercover, I was still slightly disappointed that Mark Collett's "solicitor" Robin Tilbrook wasn't investigated.
1) #Hartleaks provided so much evidence of how, for example, Clare Craig & Joel Smalley butchered data to "fit their narrative", @AndrewRosindell introduced Hart to the CRG, & how Iain Duncan Smith advised Us for Them.
2) And yet, @TalkTV@GBNEWS@thelucyjohnston@TheConWom have all pretended as if many of us haven't read the internal comms of Hart. They continue to gaslight, distract, & pursue their quest in sharing complete bollocks about Covid & vaccines.
3) I understand the whole "we need to keep up the 'don't trust experts'" shtick, & the revision of the past 2 years as "if the public trust experts on Covid, what about climate change, Brexit, & everything else we want to get away with". I get it...
My wee "pal" Damian Wilde is having a bit of a meltdown just now. @jameshodcroft appears to have gotten under his skin. Normally, I would be concerned about the person but Damian is a notorious bully, has used alt accounts to highlight my mental health so... this is delicious.
If Damian Wilde, Zenobia Storah, Ellen Townsend, etc, are so accomplished in their chosen field of psychology, then why didn't they notice what their colleagues were saying? How can they be trusted with patients? How can they justify their position when they stood by the below?
Sorry, I always forget to include the hashtag #Hartleaks
