    “Deep state”??.. must we copy every aspect of American culture, even their conspiracy theories?

    Always boggles my mind how these people have the time to be crazy. Don’t they have jobs to go to? How do they pay for groceries and stuff?

      Chris comes from family money, his dad is a real estate investor, and they get a lot of donations ever since their antivax demonstrations.

    This guy kept cropping up during the height of pandemic with a band of followers causing disturbances. As things were starting to open up and masking was still required everywhere, they would show up at restaurants (like The Works in London) and refuse to wear masks at all or social distance.

    Hrm, refusing to say what the charges are and makes a big campaign stop out of the ordeal? I think a better headline would be “Wannabe martyr pretends to be arrested to raise his social standing amongst his wannabe martyr followers.”
