Absolutely insane story. How hate-baiting fake videos were filmed. London Centric is great.
This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...
Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes?
We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed.
As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

I think witnessing Brexit as both insider & outsider had a profound effect on Mark Carney. His resolve in the face of the next stage of the attempted destabilisation of the West might even be described as a ‘Brexit benefit’!

Where are the poppy patriots? Why are they completely silent on this grotesque insult to our armed forces and specifically the 2,000 UK service and civilian personnel who were injured and the 457 who died in Afghanistan?

That feeling when you fly all the way to Davos to see Trump, make a speech about why the tangerine turd should invade a NATO ally, only to find that he won’t see you and completely chickens out of his threats about Greenland.

This is one the defining features of our politics. A legacy of austerity and Osborne's political skill. One that's gutted our armed forces, kneecapped local Govt and weakened our resilience.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.
