@noUpside @RealJeffHoliday A bit worrying these Antivax Karen’s have children of their own! I believe a safe guarding warning should be issued to their local authority to get social services involved. These individuals are a liability and are a risk of causing their own children harm!.

@DavidPaisley I wonder if he was of those mythical right wing men, who identifies as gay, I heard about. The ones with selective memories about what has happened for the past 40 years and a pointless argument which starts with less taxes for the rich even though he has no money.

@ColborneMichael @Cobratate @TateTheTalisman @bellingcat Brilliant article. As I read your article on @Cobratate I wondered if the War Room plays on people’s insecurities, encourages them to buy in to a ponzee pyramid scheme and directed to buy pointless products by insider traders to benifit only Tate and his ‘team’.

@TheMendozaWoman @acgrayling Lord Rothermere was a friend of Benito Mussolini & Adolf Hitler, and directed the @DailyMailUK editorial stance towards them in the early 1930s. Rothermere's 1933 leader "Youth Triumphant" praised the new #Nazi regime's accomplishments and subsequently used as propaganda by them.

@MailOnline Emily could have safed themselves a lot of writing by just saying “So, woman with a failing bridal shop, sees a property become available in a place she’s wanted to get to for 5 years and moves there. The End. Thank you @MonkEmma.
So when you see a headline like this, you don’t need to do much digging - just give it a quick sense check. How likely is it that 70% of customers are lost overnight for a bridal shop, with excellent public transport links, cos they all drive 20yo cars…. 12/12
