Boris/Off: Attack of the Clones feat. Annie Kelly

We speak with Q Anon Anonymous U.K. correspondent Annie Kelly about how, far from being fringe whackos, the lumpen petit bourgeois wingnuts that meet on telegram and gather outside Parliament are central to the right wing project. Also, we read Starmer’s baffling paean to NATO.

Great episode, and some really good insights from Annie. While I think Stamer probably doesn't really know much about the Stop the War movement and his arguments don't really make sense, I think he's unintentionally right in some degree as while Stop the War is a noble cause the current leaders of Stop The War are well known Uyghur genocide deniers and use exclusively CCP talking points to support their stance on this issue. Also they were involved in a Stop Asian Hate rally where some CCP stooges and possible triad members attended with them to intimidate a counter protest by Hong Kongers. So yeah Stopping Wars is good but they seem to be bad faith actors who are selective about what violence they object to.

Yes! Glad that Annie brought up that the Q/Truckers/misc. wingnut protestors are people who usually don't go to protests. Definitely the impression I got from going to check them out myself

Me, years later, remembering where I was when fighting in the Boris Johnson clone wars.

As there are a bunch of Cool Classics Kids hosting this show I feel comfortable observing that Riley put on his best Fabius Maximus impression by asking Milo to introduce the episode. Now, let's crack on for Ukrainian ultranationalism.

See i read starmers bullshit about the Stop The War coalition more simply: he and in fact his entire base of support have a personal beef with it's former chairman (2011-2015)JEREMY CORBYN. He wants to be like blair, so he is thirsty for a war, but honestly this just reads like more cheap heat so he can say 'fuck corbyn' without losing even more of the findom humiliation fetishists still trying to make labour work

This is a great episode. I would add one thing to what Alice said about Canada, the organisers were close to the Police, and there is/was a collusion going on, which can be seen in the statements of the Organisers vs the way BLM were treated.
