"Boost for Liz Truss as new poll shows nine in 10 voters BACK her plan to freeze energy bills to help families through #CostOfLivingCrises" - screams the Mail.

The same poll found 75% of Tory voters BACK a #windfalltax on oil & gas companies' profits, which Truss opposes.
The poll, commissioned by the Mail, put @UKLabour seven points ahead of the Tories,42% - 35%, with Starmer just ahead of Truss (36% to 33%) when voters were asked who would make the best PM.

Predictably, 56% of Tory voters said the #Partygate investigation should not continue.

Today @BotSentinel published its long-awaited report on @YouTube policy violations & how hate speech, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, targeted harassment, & widespread copyright infringement goes unchecked.

Full report:

botsentinel.com/newsroom/repor…
Key Findings:

Flagrant platform policy violations went unchecked.

A YouTuber who repeatedly threatened violence, including suggesting Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, should be strangled to death, wasn't removed from the platform.
A popular channel helped foster misogynistic & dehumanizing opinions toward women, & YouTube's algorithms helped promote the channel.

Multiple channels with millions of views were dedicated to publishing malicious and defamatory content about Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex.

Brendan Clarke-Smith is the ERG crank who described food banks as a "political weapon", saying it is "simply not true" that "people can't afford to buy food on a regular basis", & compared footballers taking the knee to the Nazi salute.

Liz Truss has just promoted him. Image
Clarke-Smith signed a letter to The Telegraph in 2020 from the "Common Sense Group" of Tory MPs, accusing the National Trust of being "coloured by Cultural Marxist dogma" - 'cultural Marxism' is the antisemitic conspiracy theory in far-right terrorist Anders Breivik's manifesto. Image
On May 24, 2022, Mystic Brendan explicitly admitted he would happily back a lawbreaker as PM during a @Channel4News interview, saying about Boris Johnson, "I think he's still got a long time in office as well!" The mass resignation followed 6 weeks later.

Anyone filling their son's head with this infantile antiquated misleading sexist drivel needs a fucking shrink. Image
Women are unsafe partly because of dickheads like him spouting misogynistic bullshit.
So anyone critical of infantile antifeminist grifting red-pill weirdos who think The Handmaid's Tail is a utopia, rather than a dystopia, is "islamophobic" because it insults "ghayrah" (a complex Islamic concept, but which results in preventing free mingling between men & women). ImageImage

A new report from the Centre for Regional Economic & Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University, shines light on the need & opportunity for supporting communities to save ailing high streets, while also supporting the 'levelling up' agenda.

Summary:

Community businesses – businesses owned & ran by & for their local communities – are already contributing to high street regeneration, increasing footfall by offering spaces & services that differ from the traditional retail model, with the potential to go even further.

I've learned plenty about how & why the Nazis came to power - issues of race & migration, a pervading sense of victimisation among nationalists, & a general lack of empathy were all exploited by the Nazis.

These conditions are present in Britain today.

While Jews were of course the primary victims, the Nazis also targeted other groups for persecution & murder.

The Nazis claimed that Roma, people with disabilities, some Slavic peoples, & Black people were biologically inferior.

#NeverForget #NeverAgain

The regime persecuted other groups because of politics, ideology, or behaviour, including Communists, Socialists, Union organisers, Jehovah’s Witnesses, gay men, & people the Nazis called “asocials” & “professional criminals.”
