Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

Shame on the #BBC Shame on so many people for their cruelty towards trans people. And why the obsession with bathrooms? Go to Denmark, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands … and you’ll see it’s standard practice to have cubicles open to any and all. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Whether Farage is racist “depends on how you define it” apparently.
Oxford dictionary definition: “the belief one's own race is superior to others, which leads to prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against people of a different race/ethnicity”
Racist then.
