A long thread on how an obsessive & violent antisemite & Holocaust denier has been embraced by the international “community of the good.”
Sarah Wilkinson has a history of Holocaust denial & anti-Jewish hatred dating back (in documented examples) to around 2015.
Since then she has produced a long trail of written hate and abuse. See here for a good summary. https://t.co/9Ajkt4wFbm

But McDonnell is not alone.
Neo-Nazi Sarah Wilkinson is supported and encouraged by thousands of those on the Left who consider themselves “anti-racists”.
Some of the names you are going to see here may shock you. Others will not.
Does it mean they are all neo-Nazi’s, antisemites and Holocaust deniers too? No, of course not.
But for most, they will simply either have failed to notice the hate that pours from her daily or else they noticed & thought “yes, that’s how I see the world too”.
First up Yasmine Dar. Labour Party NEC member & former Head of Disputes who was of course tasked with investigating anti-Jewish racism. @Yasmine_Dar
1st person to yell "horseshoes" wins a stale bagel.
@akalamusic follows a British neo-Nazi.
Yes, @DalrympleWill follows a British neo-Nazi.
who saw Zionist outposts everywhere (ok, Birmingham) also follows our neo-Nazi. She's now an editor at @redpepper apparently.
Do many other of their editors follow neo-Nazis?
Amazingly, no. Must have cleaned up shop just a little.
But don't worry. If he was still a Lab MP then Jeremy would find that the vice-Chair (Campaigns) of his Islington North CLP @jackson_caines does follow a neo-Nazi.
Hard to resist really. Colour me shocked that @HeikeHaensel
who is vice-Chair of the Left group in the German parliament follows a neo-Nazi.
Hatred without borders, innit?
We wouldn't find that the ICRC Head of Comms @AIsyukICRC follows a neo-Nazi, would we?
Oh, Anastasia.
But Bonnie also follows our neo-Nazi.
Bonnie needs to ask herself why that is.
Rachel is a long time friend of @OwenJones84 Jeremy & everyone else who helped subject British Jews to 5 years of hate.
Rachel follows a neo-Nazi ("just the 1?" you ask)
H/T for this view of Wilkinson's followers @MatzoBalling
Next, we turn again to the US.
Where activist @lsarsour just happens to follow a British neo-Nazi. As you do. Say hi to Bernie's wife for us, Linda!
Again, H/T @MatzoBalling
First up is @TedPowe23813497 - Ted is an @NEUnion rep & Lab Cllr candidate in Bristol. He's a teacher, but he also follows our neo-Nazi.
Could do better, Ted. Must try harder.
I'm sure she does great work when she's not busy supporting the toxic JVL, but Penny also follows a neo-Nazi.
General toxic "historian" Louise Raw.
Better include her i guess.
@LouiseRawAuthor follows a neo-Nazi.
Yawns.

global health policy in 2020 has centered around NPI's (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like distancing, masks, school closures
these have been sold as a way to stop infection as though this were science.
this was never true and that fact was known and knowable.
let's look.
above is the plot of social restriction and NPI vs total death per million. there is 0 R2. this means that the variables play no role in explaining one another.
we can see this same relationship between NPI and all cause deaths.
this is devastating to the case for NPI.
clearly, correlation is not proof of causality, but a total lack of correlation IS proof that there was no material causality.
barring massive and implausible coincidence, it's essentially impossible to cause something and not correlate to it, especially 51 times.
this would seem to pose some very serious questions for those claiming that lockdowns work, those basing policy upon them, and those claiming this is the side of science.
there is no science here nor any data. this is the febrile imaginings of discredited modelers.
this has been clear and obvious from all over the world since the beginning and had been proven so clearly by may that it's hard to imagine anyone who is actually conversant with the data still believing in these responses.
everyone got the same R

this methodology is a little complex, so let me explain what i did.

a few EU countries provide real day of death data. this lets us plot meaningful curves to show rate of disease change.
what struck me is how similar all the curves were.
everyone got the same shape. pic.twitter.com/bN0hILzoSl
Two things can be true at once:
1. There is an issue with hostility some academics have faced on some issues
2. Another academic who himself uses threats of legal action to bully colleagues into silence is not a good faith champion of the free speech cause
I have kept quiet about Matthew's recent outpourings on here but as my estwhile co-author has now seen fit to portray me as an enabler of oppression I think I have a right to reply. So I will.
I consider Matthew to be a colleague and a friend, and we had a longstanding agreement not to engage in disputes on twitter. I disagree with much in the article @UOzkirimli wrote on his research in @openDemocracy but I strongly support his right to express such critical views
I therefore find it outrageous that Matthew saw fit to bully @openDemocracy with legal threats, seeking it seems to stifle criticism of his own work. Such behaviour is simply wrong, and completely inconsistent with an academic commitment to free speech.
I am not embroiling myself in the various other cases Matt lists because, unlike him, I think attention to the detail matters and I don't have time to research each of these cases in detail.

How about Selina Todd, Kathleen Stock, Jo Phoenix, Rachel Ara, Sarah Honeychurch, Michele Moore, Nina Power, Joanna Williams, Jenny Murray, Julia Gasper ...

Are they all making it up too Rob?
Are they "beyond parody"? https://t.co/drQssTD0OL

Some random interesting tidbits:
1) Zuck approves shutting down platform API access for Twitter's when Vine is released #competition
2) Facebook engineered ways to access user's call history w/o alerting users:
Team considered access to call history considered 'high PR risk' but 'growth team will charge ahead'. @Facebook created upgrade path to access data w/o subjecting users to Android permissions dialogue.
3) The above also confirms @kashhill and other's suspicion that call history was used to improve PYMK (People You May Know) suggestions and newsfeed rankings.
4) Docs also shed more light into @dseetharaman's story on @Facebook monitoring users' @Onavo VPN activity to determine what competitors to mimic or acquire in 2013.
