Systemic

It has been brought to my attention that Damian Thompson, who gave the world Milo Yiannopoulos, and who was one of Oliver Kamm's accomplices in incompetently faking an anti-Semitic death threat in order to try and pin it on me, regards Black Lives Matter as both comparable and allied to QAnon. 

Now, there is plenty wrong with Black Lives Matter as an organisation. But Thompson contends that systemic racism, even in the United States, is a "conspiracy theory", a term that was coined by Richard Nixon, although heaven forfend that it might be applicable to the notion of a QAnon-BLM axis.

Thompson once sacked me when he found out that I was mixed-race. Since his home address appears only in the print edition of Who's Who, then we shall have to wait until the libraries reopened. So let's just leave that there. For now.
