Videos claiming that Sadiq Khan cancelled the King’s ‘garden bridge ceremony’, leading to a political row and protests have been viewed widely on Facebook.

But these are completely false. There was no such event, and it was never scrapped.

Far be it from me to underestimate the threat of the Russian Bear, but I suspect that many EU leaders might well be banging the drum of war to distract from the fact we're in the twilight of neoliberalism, and they are wildly unpopular at home.

Take the UK's last four prime ministers, for example.

Most reports of Paul Lumbar’s death fail to mention that he was in and out of prison for violent conduct and permanently banned from Bristol City FC.
He was never a patriot he was a racist, hooligan thug and his death should not be mourned but should serve as a lesson to others.

Left: Zia Yusuf claims Zack Polanski is committing treason for proposing a legal asylum solution

Right: Yusuf’s Reform UK colleague Farage was friends with Gill for 20+ years. Both long promoted anti-EU, pro-Russian views. Gill is now jailed for taking bribes from Putin-a crime essentially treason

Georgia Meloni is an advocate of the racist "great replacement" theory that suggests shadowy forces are conspiring to "ethnically replace" white Europeans with ethic minorities.

The report, compiled by the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS), warns that the US “uses economic power, including threats of high tariffs, to enforce its will and no longer rules out the use of military force, even against allies.”

I used to work for an American company and there was always the possibility of moving out there.

You honestly couldn't pay me enough to even try to visit there now
NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors.

The full requirements will end tourism in the United States.

Below is the full, mind-blowing list.

Dugin's 1997 description of the UK as a 'strategic floating base' of the USA that needs to be cut off from the EU keeps popping in my mind.

The fact that his wildest dreams have come to pass since then, and the USA is now a Russian ally, is really starting to make this island feel unsafe.

They are openly saying this.

And it's £2.50 on Amazon.
