Orbán-loving #neofascist conspiracy theorist Douglas Murray is one of the most dangerous men in Britain.

If left-wing foreign/non-dom billionaires owned 75% of the UK press & secretly funded left-wing think tanks close to the UK Govt, he'd be calling for armed insurrection. ImageImageImage
Introductory #THREAD to the Spectator's dangerous conspiracy theorist Douglas Murray, who plays a significant role in the 'shameless normalisation' of far-right discourse, & was associate director of the dangerous Henry Jackson Society from 2011 - 2018.

Part of a #THREAD about the dangerous hard-right Henry Jackson Society which has been profoundly shaped by #neofascist Steve Bannon, who in 2017 met with Boris Johnson in New York & Jacob Rees-Mogg in London, since when, Britain has been ruined:

Introductory #THREAD to the dangerous & extremely influential hard-right free-market US think tank, the Heritage Foundation, which has extremely close links to the culture war crank-wing of the @Conservatives, who have taken over the Party & Britain.

Non-dom billionaire-owned Spectator magazine's ex-Director Kemi Badenoch, is second favourite to replace non-dom billionaire-owned Telegraph & Spectator magazine's ex-employee Boris Johnson. 😬

But who is Kemi Badenoch, & why do malign foreign/non-dom billionaires❤️her? Image
Badenoch worked as a systems analyst at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, before - like every other candidate in the #ToryLeadershipContest - pursueing a career in 'consultancy & financial services', working as an associate director of private bank & wealth manager, Coutts. Image
In her maiden speech as an MP on 19 July, 2017 Bademoch described the vote for Brexit as "the greatest ever vote of confidence in the project of the United Kingdom" and cited her personal heroes as Winston Churchill, Airey Neave, & Margaret Thatcher.

In June it was reported that UK MPs were set to debate the government’s new ‘national security’ law, which could criminalise public interest journalism while granting ministers immunity from involvement in war crimes.

Priti Patel’s National Security Bill, unveiled in the Queen’s Speech in May, would make it an offence for journalists to report ‘restricted’ official information in the public interest if they or their organisation has received funding from a foreign state.
Tory MP David Davis has already warned that non-governmental organisations such as Reprieve, Privacy International, Transparency International – all of which have been given grants by overseas govts while carrying out transparency work – could face prosecution under the new laws.

That's @BBC "balance" for you!

#Britain has tens of thousands of actual world-leading experts, but #bbcqt prefers simplistic soundbites.

Seriously though, when a country has a dysfunctional leader, a dysfunctional government & a dysfunctional economy, it doesn't take very long for *everything* else to become dysfunctional too.

Scratch the surface & the signs are *everywhere*.

Imho, Britain is on a knife edge.
HMRC disclosed in FOI requests that UK residents had £850BILLION in overseas accounts — of which £570bn was based in tax havens — in 2019, the latest year HMRC has released statistics for. It has no idea how much tax is being evaded.

Boris Johnson, who once claimed he 'needed lots of women on the go because he was bursting with spunk', & "forgot" being warned about Pincher when he appointed him, has now appointed Zahawi, who was embroiled in the Presidents Club sex scandal!

theguardian.com/society/2018/j…
In 2018 Zahawi was given a “dressing down” by the Tory chief whip after attending The Presidents Club charity, which was forced to close after widespread outrage at the way some guests were said to have groped & sexually propositioned women employed at an event at the Dorchester.
The joint chair of the club David Meller was forced to stand down as a board member of the Dept for Education as a result of his involvement.

Zahawi, then minister for children & families, was given a “dressing down” by Julian Smith, after he admitted having attended the event.

Important, nuanced & balanced @BBCRadio4 programme featuring film & theatre producer @aakhtar, who visits schools & explores diversity & the curriculum, asking questions about difficult topics such as segregation & the importance of an inclusive education.

"I think EVERY child should know Britain didn't stand alone in WWII, there were 2,5 million Indian soldiers there, of whom a million were Muslim, as well as Caribbean, Australian & Canadian regiments."

Children need to know more about the contribution of minorities to Britain.
Too many contributions to important developments & professions in Britain from black & Asian communities are too often neglected or overlooked in the UK schools curriculum.

Teacher training should deliver the ability to teach in ANY classroom eg a good knowledge of Islamophobia.
