CoE infested with cancel culture. What a charming line up.
Clare Daly
Irish politician who has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Ireland for the Dublin constituency since July 2019. She is a member of Independents 4 Change, part of The Left in the European Parliament – GUE/NGL. In the 1980s Daly was a member of the Labour Party as a teenager but was expelled alongside other members after being accused of being Trotskyists infiltrating the party using the tactic of entryism. She was subsequently a founding member of "Militant Labour", later known as the Socialist Party.
Michael Wallace
Irish politician and former property developer who has been a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Ireland for the South constituency since July 2019. He is a member of Independents 4 Change, part of The Left in the European Parliament – GUE/NGL. He was a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency from 2011 to 2019. Entering politics in 2011 following the post-2008 Irish economic downturn, Wallace was almost immediately considered to be one of the most eccentric and unconventional figures in Irish national politics. Establishing a reputation for anti-establishment and populist views... He soon aligned himself with Clare Daly, forming a political duo still operating as a unit today.
Max Blumenthal
American journalist, author and blogger who is the editor of The Grayzone website, which is known for spreading conspiracy theories and engaging in denial of atrocities committed by dictatorial regimes. He was a writer for The Nation, AlterNet, The Daily Beast, Al Akhbar, and Media Matters for America, and has contributed to Al Jazeera English, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. He has been a writing fellow of the Nation Institute. He is a regular contributor to Russian state-owned Sputnik and RT, and has been accused of spreading Russian propaganda.
Anya Parampil
Journalist on Bluementhal's 'news' website The Grayzone. The Grayzone is known for misleading reporting and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes. The Grayzone has denied human rights abuses against Uyghurs, promulgated conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria and other regions, and promoted pro-Russian propaganda during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
George Galloway
aka Gorgeous George Garglewax. Copper-bottom cunt.
Chris Williamson
Notorious anti-semite Corbynite, expelled from the Labour party. The turd that won't flush.
Andy Hudd
Vice president ASLEF and all that entails...
Peter Ford
Ex-diplomat, Arabist. In 2016, he suggested opposition forces were responsible for an attack on a UN humanitarian convoy in September 2016 which led to the deaths of 10 humanitarians. A UN panel of inquiry said the attack was conducted from the air, and only Syrian and Russian air forces were operating in the area. The UN panel stated "that it did not have evidence to conclude that the incident was a deliberate attack on a humanitarian target". He accused the British government of lies and political mistakes in Syria from the start of the uprising, thus aggravating the situation. He argued that Prime Minister David Cameron should have either committed British forces or refrained from encouraging opposition forces from mounting a campaign against the Syrian government. Ford believes that the British leaders expected an early end of the Syrian government and overestimated the strength of the moderate opposition, whom they did not provide with sufficient help. Ford argued that the fall of Assad would open a "Pandora's box", repeating the mistakes of Libya and Iraq. In his opinion, the fall of the Syrian government would lead to the massacres of Christians, Shias, Alawites, Druze and other minorities.
Lowkey (Lo-Ki - geddit?)
Kareem Dennis (born 23 May 1986), a British rapper and activist from London. He is a vocal opponent of Zionism and is a patron of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. He characterises Zionism as colonialism and ethnic cleansing. Lowkey has been a prominent member of the Stop the War Coalition and has spoken against the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In May 2017, Lowkey endorsed Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in the 2017 UK general election.
David Miller
British sociologist whose research and publications focus on Islamophobia and propaganda. Miller was Professor of Sociology at the University of Strathclyde (2004–2011) and the University of Bath (2011–2018) and was Professor of Political Sociology at the University of Bristol (2018-2021). He is the co-founder and co-director of the non-profit company Public Interest Investigations (PII), which runs two projects, Spinwatch and Powerbase. One of his lectures at the University of Bristol led to complaints, including from students, with allegations of antisemitism and the spreading of conspiracy theories. Although Miller was, according to Jonathan Cook in Mondoweiss, cleared of the allegations, a further investigation was launched as a result of comments he made about both Israel and Jewish student groups. The investigation found that Miller's comments were not unlawful but his employment by the university was terminated in October 2021 because it was deemed he had not met the standards of behaviour expected of staff.
What a lovely bunch...
