I've been Charley on social media for over a decade & I've also had IRL harassment so no personal photo or surname on my profile.

But if you ever want to know what I'm like & who I am, in 2018 I did a video for Final Say for All about me & why Brexit was personal:

s/s of a 7:21AM ply by me to Rob's comment about Katie Hopkins reacting to the Manchester arena bombing (she was at that point a presenter on LBC) robmanuel @robmanuel May 23, 2017 Can imagine the inevitable @KTHopkins column & equally imagine Twitter's reaction to it. Wouldn't it be great if we, for once, skipped both? Jane @localnotail She's part of the problem, not part of the solution. Stirring up hatred & profiting from the outrage she creates. What a life. What a world. 7:21 AM May 23, 2017 7:24AM Tweet by professional hatemonger Katie Hopkins @KTHopkins 22 dead - number rising. Schofield. Don't you even dare. Do not be part of the problem. We need a final solution. #Machester 23/05/2017, 7:24 am 354 RETWEETS 1,027 LIKES Tweet by LBC @LBCv 3 days later LBC and Katie Hopkins have agreed that Katie will leave LBC effective immediately. 10:00 AM May 26, 2017

It is quite striking that Konstantin Kisin simply denied (falsely) on BBC1 that he had said what he said, word for word, on his podcast.

Two circle Venn diagram in shades of shit with photos of 3 white angry Anglo men stuck into it. First circle contains a photo of privileged Islamophobe Douglas Murray. The second has a working class grifter who is backed by very rich very right wing in UK, USA, Russia + Israel: Stephen "Tommy Robinson" Yaxley-Lennon. In the overlap in centre is bitter lonely scholar Matthew Goodwin. He is famously eating his book on TV after being slightly wrong about Jeremy Corbyn's result in GE2017. He really did. Why would he do this? Did Boris Johnson put him up to it? He got dragged into the greased piglet's wake like so many. It was useful to have a non-Oxbridge, non-redbrick voice at the table. But I used to think he was the anti-Tommy. He spoke of integration, and against far-right populism I still think it was Frank Furedi at University of Kent getting Matt Goodwin get all Orbánised. Oh well, he still had choices, and he's choosing to be a divisive hateful wanker and get paid for it, so he can get in the sea

Nobody has the faintest fucking idea what they’re doing.

Those that you think do, don’t.

Those that say they do are liars.

TV is still a thing you know? I don't mean streaming, but sticking your TV on at a certain time & watching a thing. It has a certain quality to it not replicated elsewhere for 3 reasons.

1. You can plan an evening around it, "I'm watching this at nine"
2. Curated, someone has picked this

Goebbels said at Nuremberg (1934) that one of the cleverest tricks used in propaganda was to accuse opponents of what you were doing yourself.

Since Trump era, this idea has been falsely attributed by alt-Right mouthpieces like Charlie Kirk to Saul Alinksy's 1971 book "Rules for Radicals"
#FakeNews
1934 speech on propaganda Nuremberg by Joseph Goebbels The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the war was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing. Even today, large parts of world opinion are convinced that the typical characteristics of German propaganda are lying, crudeness, reversing the facts, and the like. One needs only to remember the stories that were spread throughout the world at the beginning of the war about German soldiers chopping off children's hands and crucifying women to realize that Germany then was a defenseless victim of this campaign of calumny. It neither had nor used any means of defense. https://research.calvin.edu/german-propaganda-archive /goeb59.htm The source: Der Kongress zur Nürnberg 1934 (Munich: Zentralverlag der NSDAP., Frz. Eher Nachf., 1934), pp. 130-141.

Yes, that was my point

Trump wants to punish Kamala Harris for standing against him, but he can't touch her.

He got her husband fired from a job, but that's it.

So all his spiteful demented misogynistic racist rage is being focused on her VP and the Black Female Muslim Minnesota Rep.

Petty Tyrant Donald Trump fires Biden appointees, including Kamala Harris' Husband Doug Emhoff, in Holocaust Museum purge

"I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council is terminated, effective immediately”
www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...
4x s/s from NYT article Trump Fires Biden Appointees, Including Doug Emhoff, From Holocaust Museum “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized,” Mr. Emhoff said in reaction to the removal of him and senior Biden White House officials from the board that oversees the museum. [photo] Doug Emhoff, wearing a dark suit and tie, seen in profile looking right. Douglas Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, was appointed to the board of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council by former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. earlier this year. Credit...Jamie Kelter Davis for The New York Times April 29, 2025, 3:07 p.m. ET The Trump administration has begun firing at least some of former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s appointees to the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, including Douglas Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, and other senior Biden White House officials. “Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council,” Mr. Emhoff said in a statement on Tuesday. “Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous — and it dishonors the memory of six million Jews murdered by Nazis that this museum was created to preserve.” Mr. Emhoff is Jewish and an outspoken critic of the rise in antisemitism. “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council is terminated, effective immediately,” Mary Sprowls, who works in the White House Presidential Personnel Office, wrote in an email to officials on Tuesday morning. “Thank you for your service.” The other officials who were dismissed include Ron Klain, Mr. Biden’s first chief of staff; Tom Perez, the former labor secretary and senior adviser to Mr. Biden; and Susan Rice, the national security adviser to former President Barack Obama and Mr. Biden’s top domestic policy adviser; and Anthony Bernal, a senior adviser to Jill Biden, the former first lady. “This is a sad day because our mission at the council has always been nonpartisan,” Mr. Perez said in a brief phone call. Representatives for President Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the terminations. A spokesman for the museum did not immediately have a comment. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

The law, which follows a constitutional amendment approved in June that brands rough sleeping a crime, empowers police to order homeless people to move into shelters. If they disobey three times within a 90-day period, the police can detain them and destroy their personal belongings. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/new-hungary-law-bans-rough-sleepers-rights-groups-complain-idUSKCN1MP1EA/
