The fairy tale of our times.

Most of theat is what he gets paid for his hosting role on GB News.

Is anyone familiar with Stephen Yaxley-Lennon???

Think he’s a fugitive criminal?

According to the BBC, accounts that were mostly geolocated to India drove this trend of sharing videos on social media about alleged attacks on Hindu minorities in Bangladesh. They say that these posts have been shared by multiple accounts, many of which support Hindu-nationalist values.

Yes, he’s better known in England as Tommy Robinson. As @redalways wrote, he is currently on the run abroad as an ongoing court case was expected to find him guilty for showing a video that he had previously been banned from showing, at a recent rally that was known to be factually wrong, in order to whip up hate.

Is that the dude whose mates got done as a bunch of pedos, so changed his name to allow himself to go on a rant about other cultures being pedos?

Sounds like it.

That’s real two-tier policing.

Imo, she should receive the Cersei - treatment, it would be appropriate, since a lot of people got injured because of her recklessness.

Phone in on Radio 2 today, talking about prisons.
Caller said he thinks its unfair that inmates are being treated like criminals.

The world is fucked
