As I wrote here last month, “Rovinski is lucky that he didn’t target some revered figure on the left.

For quite some time now, those who support the freedom of speech and the need to enunciate the truth no matter how offensive it may be to some have been ganged up on by “Islamophobia”-pushing, identity politics manipulators. Cancel culture is now so advanced that even many who […] Read more 2020-08-13  •  Christine Douglass-Williams UK: Boris Johnson accused of lacking the ‘political will’ to stop daily arrivals of illegal Muslim migrant boats The architect of Brexit and founder of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage, has come out swinging against Boris Johnson’s mismanagement of mass Muslim migration, compounded by the coronavirus lockdown.
