Full-time shit-stirring gobshite, GB "News" presenter, Rishi Sunak's Tory Party Deputy Chairman & part-time crap MP, #30pLee, thinks ageing far-right Nazi-supporting arseholes are “real salt of the Earth people”. He'll fit Right in at GB "News"!

mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
People on @Twitter have known all about #30pLee's far-right tendencies for quite some time, as have the @Conservatives - but I understand this is the first time a national newspaper has brought it to a wider public.

Not that anyone would be remotely surprised.
#30pLee was sent for #antisemitism awareness training after being an active member of a FB group in which other members supported Tommy Robinson & promoted Soros conspiracy theories. He also signed a letter using the antisemitic conspiracy theory of "cultural Marxism".
#30pLee described Nazi-supporting members of the Skegby Scooter Club as “real salt of the Earth people” who “make me feel proud to be Ashfield born & bred”. Nathan Bratby, a club regular who has been snapped with GB "News" presenter #30pLee, supports white supremacist punk bands.
Paul Reeson, seen here with a trophy & shaking hands with #30pLee, published a social media post telling British Muslims: “This is England, my England. If you don’t like me, or my fellow English men & women, leave our shores... or feel the wrath of the steel in my hand.” 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️
Facebook photos of Bratby show him in shirts with the logos of neo-Nazi bands Skrewdriver & Whitelaw.

Skrewdriver’s songs include White Power & lyrics praising Adolf Hitler. Whitelaw’s tracks include Fetch the Noose & a song referencing Hitler.

'Compassionate @Conservatives'?
#30pLee has spoken particularly warmly of Martin Dudley, AKA Martin Fluke, who was named on a leaked list of BNP members, & who last week attended a protest staged by Mansfield Against Illegal Migrants - twenty people at a hotel housing asylum seekers, chanting “Out! Out! Out!”
In September, #30pLee's buddy Martin Dudley, attended an annual Scooter rally in a T-shirt bearing an Odin’s Cross & the phrase “No remorse, white pride”. The cross, also tattooed on Mr Dudley’s calf, is an often-used white supremacist symbol.

In one photo with #30pLee, Dudley wears a dark, yellow-trimmed Fred Perry polo shirt – withdrawn in 2020 after it was adopted by the far-right Proud Boys.

“It is unconceivable that Lee Anderson did not know about his past. He needs to distance himself from this odious man.”
David Hennigan, a local councillor said: “It just goes to show how far the @Conservatives have sunk under Rishi Sunak. Lee Anderson is a divisive figure. He has upset foodbank users, nurses, teachers, anyone with decency. I didn’t think the Conservatives could sink any lower.”
The shit-stirring hypocritical gobshite #30pLee has strongly criticised fellow MPs for having second jobs: “I don’t have a second job, I love the job I have already,” he previously posted on Facebook.

Now he has a job as a GB "News" presenter.

mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Grotesque far-right arse #30pLee also publicly denounced ex-Cabinet minister Owen Paterson as he faced a row over his second job: “We are paid handsomely for the job we do & if you need an extra £100,000 a year on top then you should really be looking for another job”.

If only!
The massive neanderthal hypocrite #30pLee also criticised Labour’s Jess Phillips after she made a one-off appearance on Have I Got News For You.

“I am sure Jess will donate this huge sum of money to a good cause in her constituency during these difficult times,” he wrote.
Previously on the #30pLee GB "News" shit-show...

Some MPs who have been in parliament for many years NEVER appear on any of the @BBC's "flagship" politics shows - but Reform's privately educated shit-stirring 'anti-elite' former Tory Sarah Pochin - an MP for FIVE WEEKS - gets her own special introduction on #PoliticsLive. Image
Politicians using dangerously irresponsible anti-Muslim rhetoric know their comments are normalising Islamophobia and endanger British Muslim women. Islamophobic incidents rose by 375% in the week after Boris Johnson called veiled Muslim women “letterboxes” in 2018.

Britain prides itself in NOT being the sort of country that tells women how to dress. States that do dictate women’s clothing (eg Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia) are vilified as misogynistic & ultra-controlling: the antithesis of the enlightened, liberal west.

"Foreigners" DO NOT claim £1BILLION/month in benefits.

This disgusting anti-migrant dogwhistle by shameless liar and former Head of Policy Exchange, Neil O'Brien MP, is just one of several recent dispicable divisive Telegraph front page lies.

WTAF @IpsoNews? @HoCStandards? Image
The claims that the UK spends £1bn/month "on UC benefits for overseas nationals" (O'Brien) and "Foreigners claim £1bn a month in benefits" (Telegraph) are revealed to be lies in the article: the£1bn relates to "Benefits claims by HOUSEHOLDS with AT LEAST ONE FOREIGN NATIONAL." Image
The Telegraph claims that (unnamed) "experts suggested the increase reflected a SURGE in the number of asylum seekers being granted refugee status and in net migration."

To evaluate/make sense of this sensational unsourced claim, additional context is needed (but not provided). Image

Chase Herro, co-founder of Trump’s main crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, on crypto:

“You can literally sell shit in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right, because people will buy it.”

theguardian.com/technology/202…
Despite crypto being bullshit, & memecoins being consciously bullshit, many – especially angry young gullible men – still invest: 42% of men & 17% of women aged 18-29 have invested in, traded or used crypto (2024 Pew Research), compared to only 11% of men & 5% of women over 50. Image
“It’s no accident that memecoins are such a phenomenon among young people who have grown immensely frustrated with a financial system that, I think it’s fair to say, has failed them” - Sander Lutz, the first crypto-focused White House correspondent.

🧵In January, Farage said Musk was justified in calling Starmer complicit in failures to prosecute grooming gangs: “In 2008 Keir Starmer had just been appointed as DPP & there was a case brought before them of alleged mass rape of young girls that did not lead to a prosecution.” Image
The allegation that Starmer was complicit in failures to prosecute grooming gangs is often repeated. But how true is it?

Two Facebook posts, originally appearing in April/May 2020, claimed Starmer told police when he was working for the CPS not to pursue cases against Muslim men accused of rape due to fears it would stir up anti-Islamic sentiment.
In 2022 the posts and allegations saw a resurgence online with hundreds of new shares. They said: “From 2004 onwards the director of public prosecutions told the police not to prosecute Muslim rape gangs to prevent ‘Islamophobia’.

Then, in January, Elon Musk joined in.

🧵

Decades of research shows that parroting or appeasing the far-right simply legitimises their framing, and further normalises illiberal exclusionary discourse and politics.

Starmer's speech is more evidence that the far-right has been mainstreamed.

The mainstream right-wing consider social inequalities natural or beneficial, but support liberal democracy’s core institutions & values.

The far-right rejects liberal democracy & is rooted in nativism (xenophobic nationalism) & authoritarianism (emphasizing order & discipline).
Liberal democracy upholds minority rights via rule of law & independent institutions, ensuring equal treatment & freedoms for all.

The far-right opposes it, & instead prefer illiberal democracy, which favours majority rule, curbs minority rights, & erodes checks on power.

Cas Mudde, a Dutch political scientist who focuses on political extremism and populism in Europe and the US, is, imho, one of the most important voices on the Left today.

Allow me to briefly summarise some of his work.

Image
In a 2023 lecture, Mudde emphasizes the importance of precise terminology in discussing the far-right, distinguishing between extreme right (anti-democracy) and radical right (accepts elections but rejects liberal democratic principles like minority rights and rule of law).
He argues we're in a "fourth wave" of postwar far-right politics, characterized by the mainstreaming & normalization of the far-right - what Linguist Prof Ruth Wodak in a related concept refers to as the 'shameless normalization of far-right discourse'.
