It's been the same for a century: when powerful press barons fear their wealth, power & interests may in any way be under threat, they resort to demonisation.
The Mail pioneered demonisation of perceived 'enemies', & press barons will never stop.

We need #Leverington, a Public Inquiry, or a Royal Commission - but opposition parties are too weak & cowardly to take them on.

It should of course be #Leverson2 in the original tweet.
Rupert Murdoch is a cancer on the world.

Here's what playwright Dennis Potter said about him in his final TV interview - he could easily have been talking about two other cancerous divisuve tax-avoiding non dom billionaire Press Barons: Jonathan Harmsworth & Frederick Barclay.
In other news...
As well as writing in Rupert Murdoch's Sun, Douglas Murray also gets paid to spout his infantile shit-stirring crap by the tax-avoiding non-dom billionaire-owner of the toxic Telegraph & the increasingly unhinged Spectator, Frederick Barclay. 🙋‍♂️

@PrivateEyeNews have a wonderfully brutal review of shit-stirring far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s book, 'The Great Reset, & the War for the World!'

I’m not sure it will generate the $1.4 BILLION he’s been ordered to pay to parents of the #SandyHook shooting. Image
I quote the review in full:

According to Alex Jones, gravel-voiced conspiracy-monger, the world is facing a "Great Reset". That reset is, he writes, an attempt by a shady cabal of internationalists "to achieve an unprecedented amount of control over your daily life."
To make sure he has the reader's undivided attention, Jones warns that the whole thing "is a war to control the future of human development & capture control of the human species.

Viktor Orban-loving Douglas Murray founded the right-wing Centre for Social Cohesion in 2007, which became part of the 'neoliberal anti-Muslim' Henry Jackson Society, a trans-Atlantic British conservative lobbying group, sponsored by the financial backers of the US far-right. 🙋‍♂️ Image
Co-founder Matthew Jamison wrote in 2017 that he was ashamed of his involvement, having never imagined the Henry Jackson Society "would become a far-right, deeply anti-Muslim racist... propaganda outfit to smear other cultures, religions & ethnic groups". Image

'Breaking the Silence on the Contradictions at the Heart of Post-#Brexit Immigration Policies'.

'The core political principles justifying calls for reduced migration, & ‘taking back control of borders’, are fundamentally at odds with #neoliberal logic'.

es.britsoc.co.uk/?post_type=pos…
"#Neoliberal logic (is) associated with the free movement of capital, goods and labour. Neoliberal economics promotes the removal of restraints, in the service of fostering a free market."
"These principles have found renewed voice in so-called #Trussonomics, embodying the agenda of the highly influential #IEA. Those promoting this agenda are at odds with others inside the Tory party, such as Braverman, who propose to further tighten restrictions on migration."

Who's this fucking idiot? And where is she - at a BNP meeting? Image
This delusional halfwit has as much understanding of truth, as a leaking carrier bag full of sick has of Einstein's theory of general relativity.🤪 Image
Lol.

Are dangerously irresponsible free-market extremists deliberately colluding to manufacture ANOTHER global economic crash?

The 2008 crash was caused by reckless deregulation of the financial sector, & resulted in a decade of brutal #austerity.

theguardian.com/business/2022/…
The 2008 global economic crash was catastrophic, sparking another Great Recession which resulted in increases in unemployment, suicide, far-right extremism & dangerous levels of societal polarisation, & decreases in institutional trust & fertility. Image
In Britain, it led to a decade of catastrophic #austerity which cost 330,000 lives & meant cuts to essential public services & various benefits, wage stagnation,
massive bail-outs of financial institutions, & new policies designed to prevent collapse of Global financial system. Image
