Britain has a Russia problem. And his name is Nigel Farage.
Today, Ofcom finally banned RT. 8 long years after Russia illegally invaded Crimea.
But this is their man. RT - whose editor described it as a "weapon" of the Russian state - is what made Farage into who is today. 1/
RT is not just a TV channel. It's at centre of a whole ecosystem of Kremlin propaganda. Clips uploaded to YouTube were laced between mesmerising videos of tsunamis & tornadoes.
It was clickbait wizardry.
As ex-YouTuber @gchaslot told me no-one milked YouTube's algo like RT. 2/
And who was RT's favourite man in the West?
This man. It's not just that Farage was paid by RT - the Russian state - for appearances over years. Though he was.
It's that RT - the biggest news channel on YouTube - made him a star. 3/
The best study I've seen on suicide and gender affirming treatment for adolescents found that post treatment suicide increased by 74%. Unlike many studies, this was longitudinal, based on medical records rather than self report, included everyone who...
...got the treatment as opposed to just those who stayed trans, and still managed a decent sample size. The sample is imperfect as its based on military hospital data, and we can always argue about why suicide might increase post treatment, but on net it has fewer major issues...
...than the other studies on this I've seen. That said, this is an area where high uncertainly is always merited as even our best data is of limited quality.
@Khanstillday Yeah yeah so this crazy thing happened to me
I had an inspection to attend with a client one time and i realized i didn't have enough money to take me to site.
So I decided to go withdraw some cash, on getting there i withdrew and was about to leave when this woman came up to me
@Khanstillday that she doesn't know how to operate the atm.
I collected her card to help her withdraw you get?
Asked her for her pin and how much she wanted
She said 10k, it came out as insufficient funds, told her its not up to 10k, she said i should try 5k i tried it and insufficient funds
@Khanstillday came up again, aunty theres no money in your account oh, she said i should try 2k ah! I was getting furious, make i just finish wetin i start, tried 2k and it still showed insufficient funds too,wo at this point i just wanted to give her back the card and leave.
She then told me
You want to truly understand depravity of culture that is built on lies? You want to understand why as nation who steal their identity of cultures they genocide have no honest history?
Here is example list of conversation you will have with 🇷🇺 anywhere on earth. 🧵
1. Russians: Stalin was Russian hero who defeated Nazis and Russia won WWII.
Facts: Stalin genocide 7 million Ukrainians in 1 year to steal our grain that he fund Nazi Germany with and together they start WWII to divide up Europe.
Russians Response: Stalin was Georgian
2. Russians; #Holodomor was just famine that all of Soviets experience.
Facts: Russians killed farm animals, burned down fruit trees, poisoned fishing wells, and made it illegal to own food.
Russians Response: Holodomor was caused by rich Jews called Kulaks, not Russians
If Obamacare were truly affordable, we wouldn’t be talking about subsidies.
15 years later, the so-called “Affordable Care Act” is anything but. Now, Dems are desperately distracting you from their failed policies.🧵⬇️
With the average cost of family health insurance soaring to $27,000, it shouldn’t be a surprise that nearly half of Americans say they find it difficult to afford healthcare costs.
Following the implementation of Obamacare, healthcare costs have rapidly outpaced inflation.
While Dems have spent weeks blaming Republicans for premium increases, they’re ignoring that they are responsible for the policies that have created this mess.
This is the story of a 22-year campaign by NGOs to criminalize Israel's self-defense, turning human rights tools into lawfare again democracies and their citizens.

Pour @conspiration, je couvre le procès intenté pour cyberharcèlement par Brigitte Macron contre plusieurs internautes français, dont Aurélien Poirson-Atlan alias « Zoé Sagan ».
Live tweet ⤵️
D'autres posts cités évoquent la « reconnaissance faciale » très chère à Xavier Poussard qui confirmerait « la piste transsexuelle » ou qualifient Brigitte Macron de « poufiasse dégénérée pédosataniste ».
Est également cité un post, assez viral, du twittos complotiste AlexNoMatrixé mentionnant une chanson sur « la bite à Brigitte ».
Rosalía llega a su casa y abre las cortinas para que entre la luz. La estatua de la Virgen marca desde el principio la dualidad clave: espiritualidad vs. deseo. El hogar es refugio, pero también prisión.
2. LA ORQUESTA EN LA COCINA:
La música llega como pensamiento, como ruido emocional interior.
Los violines podrían ser la ansiedad, la intensidad amorosa, los recuerdos…
Son pensamientos intrusivos o emociones que no puede controlar.
3. CAMINAR CON CULPA:
Rosalía lleva rosarios en los tacones. Pisa con cruces.
Cada paso duele como una oración que nadie escucha.
El deseo se convierte en fe torcida.
El cuerpo femenino, una iglesia que no protege: exige.
1/ Das @ZDF. Fünf Schritte im Gazakrieg, die die Reputation der Anstalt massiv geschädigt haben. Ein Muster. Erster Akt: Das ZDF meldet, ein "Journalist", ein Mitarbeiter des ZDF sei von Israel getötet worden.
2/ Das Interview ist maximal arrogant. Nein, sagt Thomas Reichart, da sei "ein Muster zu erkennen". Ist es: Das Muster der Fake News. Das zweifelnd vorgetragene IDF-Statement stellt sich als wahr heraus. eigentlich müsste man sich entschuldigen. Aber: tagesspiegel.de/gesellschaft/m…
3/ So richtig rüber kommt die entschuldigung nicht. Wieder einmal hat das ZDF einfach etwas behauptet, das Hass auf Israel schürt - und damit auf deutsche Juden, ob man will oder nicht. Und wieder einmal war es falsch. Lernkurve? Null.
Beispiel: 17. Oktober 2023 - das ZDF berichtet (mittlerweile gelöscht) über Al-Ahli. Nur: "Hunderte Menschen" sind nicht gestorben. Ein Parkplatz wurde von einer PIJ- Rakete aus Gaza (!) getroffen. Klarheit? Nicht mal im Nachhinein.

@Broabad @DavidWilberBlog So, do you think that the "law of God" in Romans 7:1-6 ("dead to the law") is different from the "law of God" in Romans 7:22-8:4?
1/2
@Broabad @DavidWilberBlog If the former passage means "the Mosaic Law no longer applies to you" and the latter passage means "Instead, live a Christ-filled life," than wouldn't that require the definition of "law" to change at some point in Romans 7? If so, where is the verse where it does so?

We will shortly be live tweeting from day 5 of evidence from the hearing of Ms B Hutchison & others v County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust being held at Newcastle Employment Tribunal.
A group of nurses from Darlington Memorial Hospital, are bringing this ET against their employers alleging sexual harassment and sex discrimination.
It concerns the Trust’s policy of allowing a male colleague, identifying as a woman named Rose Henderson, to use the female changing room.
The nurses argue that sharing the changing facilities with Henderson has caused them distress. One nurse, a survivor of sexual abuse, reported experiencing panic attacks.
After raising concerns with hospital management, they were informed they needed to be “re-educated” to be more 'inclusive' and offered an office space to change in instead of the female changing room.
Interessenkonflikte? -
▶️ Wolfram Weimer unter Beschuss
Wegen der Beteiligung an einem Verlags- und Event-Unternehmen gibt es von LobbyControl und aus dem Bundestag Kritik am Medienstaatsminister.
Was steckt dahinter?
Die gemeinnützige Initiative LobbyControl hatte Weimer „Interessenkonflikte zwischen seinen Rollen als Staatsminister und Medienunternehmer“ vorgeworfen.
▶️ „Es ist hochproblematisch, dass erst jetzt durch Medienrecherchen bekannt wird, wie stark Staatsminister Weimer weiterhin persönlich an der Weimer Media Group beteiligt ist“, sagte Sprecher Timo Lange.
