Composer Christian Henson tweeted his support for JK Rowling on Monday. Less than 24 hours later, Spitfire Audio, the company he co-founded, denounced him and said he was ‘taking a break’. In other news, cancel culture is still definitely a myth.

One tweet in support of JK Rowling. That is all it took for composer Christian Henson to be ostracised by his own company. It took less than a day for mob justice to be meted out. And still we’re told that cancel culture doesn’t exist, says

“Liz Truss will lead a government in which none of the great offices of state will be occupied by a white man. Those who say the Tories are covert white nationalists need to stop. They are poisoning public life with this unhinged racial politics”

Impressive analysis by 's of the rampant anti-Brexit demos-phobia underlying the so-called 'Liberal'(🤣)-Elites' near-hysterical 3-year demonisation of Johnson for enacting a democratic verdict they loathed b/c they lost.

"the United Kingdom’s three-year experiment with fascism reach[ed] its end – not in a bunker but at Balmoral"

Boris deserves credit for upholding Brexit and annoying all the right people in the process. For daring to say the people's will should be respected he was relentlessly demonised. But it clarified what the rest of us are up against

We need to talk about Boris Derangement Syndrome. How did our elites convince themselves that this liberal Tory was a borderline fascist? They also seem to think no PM ever lied before Johnson. Brexit completely scrambled their brains, says

The smearing of Eddie Dempsey is despicable. He isn’t saying any of the things he is being accused of saying in the clip. The sight of people who tweet for a living trying to cancel a working-class trade unionist tells you everything you need to know about today’s left.

This is disturbing, incredibly divisive and tells me I’m right to think critically about the intentions of the Enough is Enough campaign.
Some of his speeches only fall slightly short of the kind of content you’d see at EDL rallies.

After Diana’s death, the elites said it was the end of the age of deference. In fact they created a new age of deference. A new age of emotional correctness in which dissent is severely punished. The post-Diana era is a draconian one, says Brendan O’Neill

Meghan’s latest interview has to be seen to be believed. She claims she’s oppressed from the comfort of her mansion. She all but compares herself to Mandela. At one point Harry starts beatboxing. Why does anyone take them seriously?, asks

Meghan Markle shows us the absurdity of our identitarian era. She poses as oppressed from the comfort of her palatial mansion. She launches a podcast and acts as if it is some act of public service. And the media lap it all up, writes

There are so many incredibly cringey moments and quotes in this Meghan interview, but I think "Harry starts dancing to his own beatboxing" is the winner for me. Just spectacular. Well worth your time.
