Saw a partially assembled leg being transported thru Shetland a couple of years back. You don’t appreciate how big they are until you are up close and personal.

I think “mainstream” is pushing it a little bit - he was always pretty wild - @rolandmcs.bsky.social will have a more informed view. But, like himself, I never thought he’d be the sort of person to start going on about “white genocide”.
