Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

If Farage wins the next election, it will be down to one person. His name is Keir Starmer.
This thread explains why.
1. Destroying faith in democracy. The UK decisively voted out the Tories, only for Starmer to give us a Continuity Tory government, shamefully beholden to economic power.

Some claim modern monetary theory (MMT) proves that tax doesn’t matter. They’re wrong. Tax is not about funding government spending—it’s about controlling inflation, managing the economy and sustaining democracy. In this video, I explain why without tax, MMT collapses.

Graham Linehan has argued for years that "trans activists" are the establishment that he is fighting against, yet, when he incites violence against trans people, the whole UK establishment - the prime minister, health secretary, Met police chief and the entire Uk Press - mobilise to defend him.

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

David Lammy is betting that those complicit in Israel’s genocide will never go to prison.
He bets that Western and Israeli impunity will protect him and the other Guilty Men and Women forever.
It is a bet he may find he’ll lose.
