NEWS that Matt Hancock is to take the risk of eating kangaroos’ testicles – uncooked, I assume – as a participant in the ITV reality show I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here in the pursuit of rehabilitation has drawn howls of mirth, ridicule ad much tut-tutting across the media.

Hungary’s conservative government seeks to restore pre-communist architecture
I visited St. Stephen’s Basilica in Budapest. The neoclassical Roman Catholic building (completed 1905) contrasts with the adjacent communist-era building on the left. The Basilica is named after Stephen, the first king of Hungary. A mummified right hand purported to belong to the king is displayed as a holy relic inside the church.
Hungary’s conservative government led by the Fidesz Party under Prime Minister Viktor Orban is working on trying to tear down traces of its communist past through urban restoration projects that center on pre-contemporary architecture styles. This has earned the ire of some who say that is a far-right, nationalist agenda that also erases history.
DISCOVERED: Facebook and Twitter Private Portals Where Democrats, Government Officials and Corporate Elites Meet to Ban Unwanted Conservative Content
In July 2021 The Gateway Pundit reported that Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, the man who invented email, was able to uncover Twitter’s “partner support portal.”
Dr. Shiva discovered that Twitter built a special portal offered to certain governmental entities so that government officials can flag and delete content they dislike for any reason, as part of what they call their “Twitter Partner Status.”
Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai ran for US Senate in Massachusetts as a Republican and made allegations of voter fraud on Twitter. These tweets were then deleted by the far-left tech giant. Later it was discovered that they were deleted at the direction of government employees of the Massachusetts Secretary of State’s office.
Discovering this, Dr. Ayyadurai filed a federal lawsuit by himself, alleging that his federal civil rights were violated when the government silenced his political speech in order to affect an election.

COVID-19 Lockdowns DEVASTATED Children’s Academic Performance
The data is in, and it’s conclusive: COVID Warlord Fauci & Co. wrought untold, unprecedented havoc on children’s academic performance while they were posing as saviors.
How would Jim Royle put it? ‘Amnesty my arse!’. Bear in mind, no remorse or sign of an apology is on the horizon. This looks more like a ‘hit and run’.
Summed up perfectly, Libs of TikTok rightly declared alongside a video of a toddler being forcibly masked at a daycare:
“They want us to forget about their school closures… They what us to forget what they did to children. Do not forget this. Do not forgive this.”
Nope, the Covid authoritarians did it before and will do it again. They saw an opportunity to grab power and seized the moment. Lockdowns, school closures, isolation, desolation, facemasks, vaccine mandates, deplatforming.
I know people want to move on and forget about it, but people ought go to jail over this now. And for the average everyday mini-Hitlers that seized petty power over this, advocated for and demanded more and more restrictions, we won’t forget how vindictive and cruel you became.
Moreover, we understand that you barely got started and would have kept on going and going and going against us, your families, friends and neighbours. Waging a further Culture War beyond what we have seen already. Escalating to lynchmobs, pitchforks at dawn, snitching to the government, concentration (sorry, wellbeing) camps. You’d have put us through the bloody lot.
We remember you – BrandX.
