@maelduin13 @moderation

"Being a Kremlin propagandist" is a claim like "being antisemitic" for reporting Israeli crimes against humanity. Has Johnstone LIED, no. The simple fact is you don't like her point of view, so you call for her to be censored. The fact that this is the same as the CIA wishes doesn't bother you either.

Quite obviously, if one of you should leave the stage in defense of free speech, it's you,

My request to @moderation is to ignore requests from you -- with prejudice.

@touk :

This is brilliant.

Nadhim Zahawi - the whole story

There's a very lengthy backstory to Nadhim Zahawi's HMRC settlement, and lots of people have been asking me to summarise it. Here goes: 23 June 2022: I fired a Freedom of Information Act request at HMRC to establish if any Ministers are under HMRC enquiry. I was initially told at at least

Buried deep on the BBC website. Would be a shame if more people clicked on it to bring it to the fore.

@lcrw

The people whining about depopulation are (many of) the Economists and people who believe them. They've predicated everything on worshipping the exponential function, e^x, with no thought to the outcome of that. The notion of a "steady state" eludes them, also they fear to the death that that will end their Ponzi scheme of profits, that there will be no more RICH. The myth that supports everything thinking they too (in a million years) can be rich will be punctured.
