TFW you have to make a detailed declaration of political (non-)faith before being allowed to criticise extreme right-wing views, and it doesn't matter because they'll call you a woke cultural Marxist anyway. Image
I mean, BOOM, right? Image
The shamelessness of people like Biggar knows no bounds. He FALSELY accuses someone of using a fictional source, and then BRAZENLY uses fictional texts himself when it suits him... ImageImage
Once again, Biggar stunningly uses someone who argues that a thing IS genocide, to indirectly support his claim that of course it's NOT genocide... Image
There are many more thousands of words here: a forensic, systematic, demolition of any shred of credibility that Nigel Biggar might have as a commentator on imperial history.

Wait for his claim that such length betrays an unhealthy obsession with him.

On this day in 1944, General Eisenhower wrote this scribbled text, taking full, personal responsibility for the failure of the D-Day landings. He edited it specifically to underline that everything had been his decision.

He was so stressed-out he put the wrong month. Image
Transcribed in the image below:
Just pause and think for a moment about a leader who has decided in advance to commit to taking responsibility for failure. Rolling the dice on the launch of hundreds of thousands of lives into combat, and owning it completely.

Vomit-inducing garbage being produced by the scum at the Torygraph today, Vile drivel. They would have hung us all out to die. Image
Lockdown started on 23 March, when daily deaths had yet to reach 100. It was ALREADY too late to save many. Daily deaths peaked a month later at over 1200.

Can you even BEGIN TO IMAGINE how out-of-control this curve would have been without lockdown? Image
Even under lockdown, it took until the end of June for deaths to drop back consistently under 100 a day.

Why does anyone let these RANCID SCUM LIE TO THEM FOR PROFIT?

Across thirty countries, a two-thirds majority see transgender people as suffering “a great deal” of discrimination. Image
The UK is in line with the international average of three-quarters of people seeing transgender rights as in need of protection. Image
But the UK plunges close to the bottom of the international list on actual willingness to DO anything to protect those rights… ipsos.com/sites/default/… ImageImageImage

They spent £100,000,000, and then changed their minds...

Every time someone tries to make a distinction between 'good' gays and 'bad' transes, they're siding with people who are, in fact, trying to ban being gay as well. Image
Right there in black and white:

These people have already succeeded in banning abortion, either totally or effectively, in over 20 US states. They're coming for access to contraception. They're coming for equal marriage. They're coming for access to DIVORCE.

Did you know, for the whole of modern history, the only period when people were barred from changing their sex in English law was between 1970 and 1999?

Until April Ashley's husband sued to annul their marriage, she had been free to live as a woman.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Ash…
In 2012, the Cameron government gave April Ashley an MBE, for services to transgender equality.

In 2021, the Johnson government gave Kathleen Stock an OBE, for the exact opposite. Image
April Ashley lived to see that. But when she died at the end of 2021, even the Torygraph gave her a sympathetic obituary. One wonders what they would spew now.
