'Leftists have control of globalist corporations, are at war with the moral, intellectual & social foundations on which our entire civilisation rests, & want to end all democracy!' - Perfectly normal comedy genius, Heritage Foundation President, Kevin Roberts, #NatC conference. Image
#NatC speakers are so funny. 😬
Hilarious one-liner from Darren Grimes: "People just want fairness - fairness for the domestic population to be treated just as well as illegal entrants" (who cannot work, face deportation, & endure hatred, demonisation & scapegoating from Tory MPs & dimwit GB "News" presenters). Image
This #NatC clown thinks Dan Wootton is "excellent". Now that IS funny. 🤪 ImageImage
Comedy gold from The Critic Editor, Sebastian Milbank, who proclaims "Britain is a Christian nation -or it is nothing at all!" 🤪

Seeing as just 46% of British people identify as Christian, I guess from a #NatC perspective, Britain is nothing at all. 🇬🇧

Boycott campaigns against South Africa helped free Nelson Mandela & change the course of history.

The UK @Conservatives' illiberal 'Boycotts, Divestment & Sanctions bill' will stop UK public bodies boycotting foreign countries & British companies that trade with them.
The Tory bill is yet another attack on protest & the right to freedom of expression.

Officials from the Dept for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities have said the bill, announced in last year’s Queen’s speech, is designed to stop actions against Israel, & will be tabled soon.
Britain & South Africa share a long history shaped by colonialism, war, migration & racial segregation.

By the late 1950s, colonised African nations were gaining independence from Britain, but the UK remained a firm ally of the white minority regime at the base of the continent.

“Pepe the frog, the greedy merchant and #stopthesteal”: A comparative study of discursive and memetic communication on Twitter and 4chan/pol during the insurrection on the US Capitol, by Andrey Kasimov, Regan Johnston, and Tej Heer.

journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
"A style guide on the Neo-Nazi community The Daily Stormer directs its members to “always hijack existing cultural memes in any way possible [because] packing our message inside of existing cultural memes and humour can be viewed as a delivery method."
"Members are encouraged to carefully encode Nazi messages into viral memes with the agenda of normalizing these ideas within the public discourse. Online far-right communities such as 4chan/pol, 8chan, & Gab often act as a testing ground for these memes before they are deployed".

In the late 1990s, I had a very close friend die suddenly in his 40s from an undiagnosed heart condition.

It really pisses me off that every single time anyone in their 40s dies suddenly, up pop the sanctimonious conspiracy theory nuts to INSIST that IT MUST BE THE VACCINE! 🤬 ImageImageImageImage
It's the insensitive insistence it MUST be the vaccine that angers me. Many younger people die suddenly, & did so before covid. It's always tragic when people die, & maybe there is a problem, but let's await the evidence, & be grateful for the millions of lives saved by vaccines.
Massive study shows a long-term, substantial rise in risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack & stroke, after a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Even a mild case can increase the risk of cardiovascular problems for at least a year after diagnosis.

More revelations confirming your worst suspicions about the kind of person Boris Johnson really is, this time from Guto Harri, who worked as Johnson’s communication chief, in the latest edition of Unprecedented, his podcast about his time at No 10. Image
Gutto claims that 'there were tensions early on when people like Emmanuel Macron went to Moscow to talk to Putin. I think Boris described it privately as ‘nauseating’. I think Macron was feeling the tension from Boris seemingly doing the running with helping Ukraine militarily.'
"So, when the British press was giving the British government a hard time over our response to the refugee crisis, Macron turbocharged it by criticising Boris pretty directly and his words were all over the front page of the Guardian on a Friday, I think." - Guto Hari.
