Internet, does anybody KNOW what this variant of the St George flag is specifically being used for online?
I can guess (variant of the crossed axes but with a machete so a 'call to arms' for far right) but I cannot find definitive.

'It's what the deceased conman would have wanted.'
Pretty sure silencing his critics actually isn't what he would have wanted. His particular schtick required people to argue with him. That's how he made money.
Silly uncoordinated fascists!

Pink News keeps reposting and recycling this old pile of shite story.
It's a right wing hoax from years ago implying nonces are part of the LGBTQ+ community 'officially'.
It is reposted to generate clicks, shares and, therefore, ad revenue.
It's also promoting the f-ing BS as 'discussion'. Stop.

That's on Boiler Central's website. Well, the salesman WAS pushy - so much so that I wondered if it was a scam.
Not looking like next day (or actually day 5).
And turns out that Which? and Trustpilot really ain't worth crap.
Yes - I am pissed off.

Disco’s taken “living on the edge” a bit literally today.
Perched across two sofa cushions, fast asleep, defying both gravity and common sense.

Lionization of racists and things.
Fuck the BBC for this.
I defend the beeb a lot.
Well, I have over the years.
BBC entertainment is still centre-left but only because comedy is usually from the left.
BBC news is disgusting, though. They validate, sure. But their bias is absurd and wrong.

Performing at Donington has been unlocked.
Great stage crew.
Huge event and it's a little sad that the stage is a bit out of the way but we had fun as did the audience.
The portaloos haven't changed much since the mid-90s though.

Well, they are both in summer mode and are, as such, refusing to come inside except for very brief scoffing time!
Here is a shot of the lesser spotted Disco Cat, however.

Whatever he did or didn't do to the unconscious man, the response to the BBC female journalist is pretty much all you need to know about this PoS.
