6 Dispatches Presenter Suckered By Pack Of Lies Liam Halligan claimed his Dispatches hit job on the HS2 project was all about reliable, evidence based journalism. His endorsement of an article packed with falsehood shows otherwise.

5 Brexit - Time To Stop The Idiocy The gaslighting of an entire country into accepting the disaster of a No Deal Brexit has to stop. And it has to stop now.

4 Anti-Semitism - A Warning From History The demonising of the Labour Party as some kind of racist enterprise, while ignoring the clear and worrying rise of the far right, is frighteningly naive. We know where this leads. Because it has happened before.

3 Who Sent Tommy Robinson To My House? However the personal details that allowed Stephen Yaxley Lennon to find my house were obtained, it wasn’t done legally.

2 Isabel Oakeshott - Fishing For A Libel Case? The mercenary hack and Brexit Party booster appeared to be on a hair trigger at accusations that that party was racist.

Far Right Terrorism - Far Right Silent

Those out there on the far right like to talk about terrorism. Or rather, they like to talk about certain kinds of terrorism. Two kinds, in fact: the kind perpetrated by Scary Muslims™, and the kind that can be blamed on Scary Muslims™, even if they didn’t do it. Terrorism that doesn’t fit either of those categories isn’t terrorism to them. So they don’t talk about it.
