Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.
Orbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit?

Despite making over £20bn in the UK, Starbucks has paid £0 tax in most years.
In fact it's total tax paid ever is only about £20m.
It pulls this off by paying £40m+ a year to its parent company in the USA so it makes a loss.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

I don't understand the lack of historical literacy about vaccines. There are numerous points in history where measles was as feared as smallpox. When it was introduced to Fiji - possibly through colonial negligence, possibly maliciously - a third of the population died.
Things I've heard:
"She felt sick AFTER the jab"
"All those jabs at once can't be good"
"he didn't have autism prior to MMR"
"Natural immunity is best"
The way children are treated is still rubbish: still shouted at, still sidelined, + a number of them not protected from disease
