But…Russell Brand is STILL on Youtube… So how is he cancelled? Was it just one episode?

Times muppets run another hit piece on “anti-vaxxers”.

When are these muppets going to instruct their journalist Olliver Wright to write an article on big pharma corruption as it relates to Pfizer in the last two years like he did for the Independent in 2014? How stupid do these muppets think we are? How bent are these muppets? Muppets!

I love James Delingpole but I find him getting rather tiresome of late, and I suspect that Watermelons will be his last significant contribution to the debate. Toby, on the other hand, continues to be a real achiever.

Kanye West; I recently performed the marathon task of listening to every Kanye West album over a period of a couple of weeks. One thing I noticed – as is often the case with Rap (God I sound old !) is that the number of occurrence of the “N****” word was almost uncountable. E.g. through the entire canon there must have been hundreds nay thousands of utterances of the N word. It even appears in song titles such as “N***s in Paris”
So – it’s OK for a person of colour to spit the N word hundreds or thousands of times. But if a White person says it, that’s RACIST !
It’s OK for a White person to wear a Black lives Matter tee shirt, but if a person of colour wears a White Lives Matter tee shirt, that’s RACIST.
What a crazy f***ed up world we live in.
By the way – my thoughts on Kanye’s albums – mostly good, with a few bangers and some weaker tracks. I particularly enjoyed “808s and Heart Breaks.” and “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”
Whereas Jay Z’s work can be summed up as “I’m f***ing great me, and I’m f***ing minted ”

I know very little about Kanye West but if he’s being accused of racism I suspect it means our enemies, or at least some of them, are not as smart as they or maybe we thought they were. Seems like an own goal.
