LOL. GB News issued a live apology to Meghan’s mom, Doria Ragland, but later deleted the entire show from YouTube to suppress the embarrassment.
Carole Malone was threatened with a lawsuit unless she apologised.

The Irish Nazi Party used to be run by a fella who lived with his mum in a cottage in Ringsend. In those days, no one said you lived in an "echo chamber" if you didn't go around to listen to him.
"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

My working theory is that the kind of Christianity currently being adopted by right-wing figures who, a decade ago, were very much of a "all religions are bollocks" conviction, really comes out of their own fears of Islam, what they think Islam is and an envy toward Muslims in general
