Evening viewing recommendation? Before it leaves @criterionchannl, watch William Richert's WINTER KILLS (1979). https://t.co/AXGpF6g9mi
Among the myriad conspiracy thrillers that proliferated in the '70s, it stands out for its audacious, tonally bonkers blending of paranoia and black-comic satire as well as for its eye-popping all-star cast led by Jeff Bridges���all of which has elevated it to cult status decades after it was barely released and nearly forgotten.
The far right came to London today to start a riot. It was a rally organised by fascist #TommyRobinson to build a far right street movement. And no surprise it turned violent.
We’ve opposed them today in our thousands but we need much more on our side

🚨Stephen Lennon is marching again in London this weekend. He insists he isn’t a racist, says it over and over, but the facts tell a different story. Here are five reasons why “Tommy Robinson” is a racist.
Seeing a great deal of what Boris Johnson has suggested in my timeline, the idea that Kirk represented mainstream opinion/common sense.
His murder is appalling. But this is nonsense.
Some of his views
-Profoundly conservative on gay rights. Didn’t believe in gay marriage. Said being gay was an “error” and compared to drug addiction.
- didn’t believe in abortion in almost any circumstances.
-called for a ban on all trans gender affirming care.
-he spread falsehoods about voter fraud, Covid and other conspiracy theories.
-suggested he opposed birth control and had very traditional views on women and how they should live their lives.
-claimed the Great Replacement Theory was UK government policy.
None of this could ever justify any violence. It is a matter of fact that his views were nowhere near mainstream. He clearly relished debate and was very influential. But in some cases, in many cases, his views were extreme.
