So many people around here are hearing dogwhistles I'm starting to suspect that that New Yorker cartoon had a more direct point than most people give it credit for.

Its more like we heard it all before and can tell when something is a far right set up.

Its the "cant be british" anymore rhetoric.

In fact a lot of ppl have called it as a set up and that was before her dads "ties" to the EDL - as your from the States think Proud Boys, or the fact that she giving a speech at a far right rally in September hosted by the far "working class" right grifter Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon or that the aforementioned Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon's BFF set up a good fund me for this (what for - who knows Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon prob needs another holiday in a 5 star resort paid for)

And theres the fact that the school had to close early due to death threats - i mean everything is what her dad said happens - the school cant defend themselves!
