“[Elon Musk] is an anti-Muslim bigot. And that's not me calling him that. That's him embracing it.” I was on 'Piers Uncensored' today, discussing, among oher things, Musk's car-crash and bigoted interview with The Economist. Clip below. Full debate here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbT0...

Thank you!

It's been an absolutely incredible cycle, William. Hats off to you and Anita. Bravo.

The daughter of a man who tortured Algerians in the Casbah leads the largest opposition party in France — built partly on the votes of the grandchildren of the very Algerians her father helped dispossess. The wound France refused to treat is now the wound driving its politics linktr.ee/empirepoduk

Jean-Marie Le Pen served as a paratrooper in Algiers. Multiple witnesses placed him at torture sessions. He came home, founded the National Front, and built his political career on the rage of a million Europeans who felt France had betrayed them linktr.ee/empirepoduk

New from @empirepoduk.bsky.social Algerian Revolution series: Algeria & The Rise of Le Pen (Ep 6) Marine Le Pen could be the next President of France. To understand how, you have to go back to 1962 — and a war France has never properly faced. Our final Algeria episode drops today. 🧵

Yesss! Love @asmakhanlodhi.bsky.social !

🤯 I did not know that particular backstory - essential listening from @empirepoduk.bsky.social again (if only I didn’t have a bit of a backlog that I’m still catching up on… )
