🧵 Within a few hours of yesterday's horrific knife attack on a train, all the people you'd expect were furiously speculating about the identity of the suspect(s), and demanding that the police immediately release all the information about an investigation they'd just started. Image
Image
Image
Image
Former GB News presenter Dan Wootton was amongst the loudest voices demanding that police immediately release everything from the identity of the suspect(s) to footage of people being stabbed. 😳

He says anything less than blowing the entire investigation would be a "cover up". Image
Image
Image
Image
As news broke of the knife attack, Together founder Alan Miller was also immediately demanding to know "what the hell is going on" and who was arrested, complaining about police and politicians urging people not to speculate, and asking if we need vigilante mobs on the streets! Image
Image
Image
Image
Meanwhile People's Health Alliance founder Katherine MacBean used the attack as an excuse to rehash her calls for "We The People" to literally hold the government hostage and issue demands, as part of a plot to "crash the entire system and build the new". Domestic terrorism? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Image
Image
Image
We don't even know yet if the suspect(s) in yesterday's knife attack are immigrants, but racists (like Katherine MacBean) are already exploiting the tragedy to demand "total remigration" and mass deportations of millions of innocent people. Image
Image
Image
Image
Another racist conspiracy theorist exploiting the attack is Darren Denslow, who admitted that he carries a weapon on public transport (crime?), and claimed the government deliberately makes Britain unsafe. If "the country is at boiling point", Darren's trying to turn up the gas. Image
Image
Image
Image
Former UKIP candidate Carl Benjamin also claimed yesterday's knife attack is "part of the plan" and "this is the country they intended".

Meanwhile Advance UK co-founder Richard Shaw shared a call for Britain to "rise up", and asked Donald Trump to impose sanctions against us. šŸ™„ Image
Image
Image
Even further out on the lunatic fringe, Russian asset Robin Monotti called the stabbings "an intelligence operation" to bring about digital ID, backed by "grandson of the godhead" Gareth Icke.

While Leilani Dowding and others claimed the attack was "allowed, even facilitated". Image
Image
Image
Image
Many outrage farmers are questioning why police identified a suspect in an incident in Liverpool earlier this year as white so quickly. If Alan Miller read the article he shared, he'd know. Racist idiots misidentified an innocent bystander as the suspect.

Image
Image
Even after police announced the suspects in yesterday's knife attack were born in Britain, Advance UK's Ben Habib is still trying to link it to illegal immigration and small boats.

He's demanding the release of the suspects' names, because he's "extremely suspicious". šŸ™„ Image
Image
Image
Image
Meanwhile another Reform UK reject, Rupert Lowe, accused "the British state" of being "complicit in a crime like this", because he says successive governments "haven't done enough to deport illegal immigrants".

Again, the suspects were both born in Britain, over 30 years ago. Image
Image
Image
Image
The police statement that both suspects in yesterday's attack were born in Britain also means that racists are now trying to figure out "how many generations do we need to go back" with mass deportations. They want to exile millions of innocent people, born and raised in the UK! Image
Image
Image
Image
Meanwhile in America, chemtrail conspiracy theorist Naomi Wolf seems to be furiously trying to incite civil war in the UK, while sharing some wildly racist nonsense (eg calling immigrants "low IQ savages" and claiming they're an army sent to invade us). Image
Image
Image
Image
Toxic "nurse" Kate Shemirani claims last weekend's knife attack was a "false flag". Apparently this thought "wafts through her mind" every time anything happens.

Because conspiracy theorists always think preparing for possible future emergencies is some kind of sinister plot. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø Image
Neil Oliver is another conspiracy theorist sharing Robin Monotti's claim that recent knife attacks are "an intelligence operation" to push digital ID.

How does @GBNEWS feel about one of its presenters saying that an attack that left 11 people in hospital was faked? Image
@GBNEWS Fellow GB News host Bev Turner is also claiming the attack will be used to push digital ID, which is conspiracy theorists' favourite topic this year.

She recently shared claims that a hurricane was somehow deliberately used to destroy Jamaica to make way for a "smart city". Image

Reform UK announced today that the former Covid Vaccine Minister Nadhim Zahawi has defected to them. Conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers (who seem to be a big part of Reform's target audience) were obviously less than thrilled about this... 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
Many conspiracy theorists have already abandoned Reform and moved further into the fringes. Amongst those horrified by Zahawi being welcomed into Reform were the likes of Rupert Lowe (Restore Britain), Kathy Gyngell (Advance UK), Laurence Fox (Reclaim) and Calvin Robinson (UKIP). Image
Image
Image
Image
Racists also took offence to Nadhim Zahawi joining Reform UK, because a) he's a Muslim, b) he came to the UK (legally) as a refugee when he was a child, and c) he said that immigration can be good for the country.

None of which should be that contentious, unless you're a racist. Image

🧵 NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya is speaking at Together's 4th Anniversary event. The group's co-founders include an anti-Semite and an anti-vax homeopath, and the group is full of chemtrail nuts and other conspiracy theorists.

Here are some of the other speakers at the event... Image
Adam Brooks is a member of Together's executive board and a regular contributor to GB News. He's recently spent a lot of time "reporting" on anti-immigrant protests in Epping while actively taking part in them, and posting angry rants about immigrants on his X account. Image
Image
Image
Montgomery Toms is Together's youth ambassador. He spends his time harassing people at the National Covid Memorial and calling trans people at Pride events mentally ill. He was also in Epping recently, claiming immigration's a plot to bring in digital ID.

Aseem Malhotra has been confirmed as a speaker at next weekend's Reform UK conference. The increasingly anti-vaccine cardio crank is already Chief Health Advisor to Farage's anti-WHO "Action on World Health" campaign, and now seems to be angling for a job with Reform too. 🧵 Image
This intersection of far right politics and anti-vaccine health contrarians in the UK is no surprise, after Reform's 2024 manifesto pandered to conspiracy theorists, many of whom helped out on their campaign or even stood as candidates for the party.

Reform's links to anti-vaxxers in the UK go back years. Richard Tice was in contact with ivermectin pusher Tess Lawrie and pandemic denier Jonathan Engler in 2021 and several Reform / Brexit Party veterans were involved in the covid conspiracy movement.

Advance UK recently announced its committee, which includes anti-vax data mangler Norman Fenton, racist conspiracy theorist Jim Ferguson, climate change denier Paul Burgess, and conspiracy theory website editor Kathy Gyngell. 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Image
Paul Burgess was environment spokesman for the far right For Britain Movement (a UKIP splinter group which, like Reform splinter group Advance UK, was backed by Tommy Robinson). He's also appeared on GB News as a "climate commentator".

Kathy Gyngell is the editor of Conservative Woman, a right wing website which during the pandemic went from attacking gay and trans rights and other culture wars nonsense to spreading anti-vaccine propaganda, covid conspiracy theories and AIDS denialism.

The co-founder of "Operation Raise the Colours" (the recent spate of people putting English flags on lamp posts) is an old friend of Tommy Robinson who says he's been "16 years by his side", and had breakfast with Robinson after his release from jail earlier this year. 🧵 Image
Image
Image
Tommy Robinson's mate Andy Saxon and his "Operation Raise the Colours" have also had support from UKIP leader / Turning Point UK COO Nick Tenconi (recently seen giving what looked like a Nazi salute), far right Britain First Party and its co-leader / ex BNP member Paul Golding. Image
Image
Before his "Operation Raise the Colours" gained momentum recently, Saxon posted support for Britain First and its "remigration" campaign to remove immigrants from the UK, as well as offensive and sometimes threatening Islamophobic content.

This is who's supplying those flags. Image

🧵 Kate Shemirani's daughter sadly died last year, after refusing chemotherapy for her cancer, in favour of the kind of extreme quackery promoted by her mum.

Refusing to take responsibility, Kate accused the NHS of homicide and subjecting her daughter to medical experimentation.
Kate Shemirani and her ex-husband issued a statement after their daughter's death, wildly claiming that it was part of "a systemic pattern of state-sponsored medical homicide and institutional cover-up" by the NHS, and suggesting that she was part of an "unregulated drug trial". Image
Image
Image
Inevitably, Kate Shemirani and her allies are using the tragedy to raise money, claiming "they have taken her daughter". Their target is up to £100,000 to challenge the outcome of an inquest that hasn't even happened yet. So far they've only raised £2,455 from gullible followers. Image
