Ex-Neighbours star Holly Valance today revealed herself as an avid supporter of conservative politics in a surprise appearance at the PopCon conference, where she denounced the climate crisis as “not a crisis”. The Mail has more.
The 40-year-old, who went on to have a pop career after her stint on the Australian soap opera, attended a central London event to hear from senior Tory MPs.
Valance attended the launch of the ‘Popular Conservatism’ group together with her property tycoon husband Nick Candy.
The couple listened to speeches from ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss, former Business Secretary Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, and leading ‘Red Wall’ MP Lee Anderson.
Speaking after the event, Valance revealed how she was attracted to the Tory Right after shunning “crap ideas” from “Lefties” earlier in her life.
The mother-of-two took a swipe at climate alarmists and revealed her concern about “the way things are going in the country”.
Valance told GB News:
I’m a citizen like everyone else here who’s concerned about the way things are going in the country. Many things worry and bother me with two little children to bring up – what they might inherit. So I want to come and listen to ideas, good ideas.
Everyone starts off as a Leftie and then wakes up at some point after you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then realise what crap ideas they all are – and then you go to the Right.
The speakers today were fantastic. I thought Liz was actually really, really interesting to listen to. Jacob for PM!
The MP for Ashfield (Lee Anderson) was awesome, love a northerner, straight to the point and very sensible. …
I just think the climate crisis – or lack of – is not a crisis.
The air is better than when I was growing up. It used to stink walking down the street when I was growing up.
Cleaner, cheaper energy is what we need – we’re perfectly able to get it and have it.
But we’re just putting all these restrictions on normal people who are just trying to go about their business and get to work, pick up their children from school, go to the supermarket.
It’s just insanity, it’s like smashing your head up against a wall every day.
Worth reading in full.
Valance, who was once photographed in a communist vest top, has clearly come a long way. I’m sure marrying a billionaire Tory donor may have helped.

The Huffington Post described her “theory” of why people turn to the Right as “truly bizarre”. A powerful rebuttal, no doubt.

when are they going to vaccinate the kids?
I can tell you when they will “vaccinate” my children. Never.
When the roadmap was unveiled, I had no doubt that “something” would come up which would push back all the dates – the roadmap was never intended to be adhered to, it was just another carrot to dangle in front of the masses to ensure continued compliance. But it’s just another frog-boiling exercise – it’s happened time and time again over the past year, and will continue to do so until we put a stop to it. “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice…”, etc.When will people wake up to what’s really happening?!
the roadmap was as believable as 3 weeks to flatten the curve
Happy week 53 of 3 weeks to flatten the curve!
‘Fool me ten times plus …..’ ??????
Fill in the blank.
Precisely, RickH – I’m astonished at people’s apparent gullibility! I can only assume that people just can’t even contemplate the alternative narrative that the government may not be acting in our best interests, so it’s preferable to swallow the lies and trust that it’ll all be over soon….
When the roadmap was unveiled I predicted it would be the mass testing of children that would be used to block the lifting of lockdown. I still think they will use the false positives generated from this in synchrony with the claimed shortages of ‘vaccine’, and I believe it will lead to them ultimately not lifting lockdown at all because we’ll miss the summer and will be due to go back into flu season.
“The standard for testing and monitoring of vaccines is higher than it is for most other medicines, because they are one of the few medical treatments given to healthy people (mainly healthy children). This means that the level of acceptable risk is much lower than it might be for a cancer treatment, for example. It can take many years for a vaccine to pass through all the stages described below. In the case of the MenB vaccine, for example, it took 15 years from the first idea to the vaccine being licensed for use.”

Amazing we’ve compressed 15 years into 6 months!
Imagine how many lives would have been saved if they’d compressed the 15 years development of the MenB vaccine into 6 months ‘with no loss of safety’
Of course – the balance of risk for cancer treatments is entirely different! Doh!
“no one can have had any idea how effective the vaccination programme would be.”
The latest mythology strikes. But freedom doesn’t.
Well … who would have thought it, hand on cock?
I have yet to see any evidence the vaccine program, lockdown, masks and large scale testing have worked
See how the media (including LS) are weaselling away while perpetually normalising the idea of a ‘vaccine passport’? And the dumb public still don’t see it.
So they expect over 60s to be in restaurants and swimming pools come July while telling young healthy people they can’t?
La la land
More distraction nonsense but sort of o/t
Boris Johnson is going to be vaccinated in the same way he had Covid-19.
