The Light - The Uncensored Truth

[IvanV]

I found a pile of copies of a newspaper calling itself The Light, subtitled The uncensored truth, in a small mediaeval church in a posh village in Herefordshire.

I was expecting it to be some kind of religious tract. The religious have their own oxymoronic meaning of the word "truth". But no, it was the kind of "truth" conspiracy theorists push, full of "covid is a hoax", etc. What was it doing in a church?

If you want a giggle, they have a website. Where Vernon Coleman's name is prominent. Indeed that is the only name that is prominent, though I have no reason to suppose he is behind it. The website doesn't say who is behind it. A little googling found that the company that published it was wound up compulsorily by Companies House a few weeks ago, and the Graun says that it is the product of a guy from Manchester called Darren Smith aka Nesbitt.

Within the paper itself, the contributors give only their first name and the first letter of their surname.

Came across it earlier.

Lots of disinformation spread from this.

Is the best idea to take all the copies in one go? Stick them in recycling, obvs.

Unfortunately it only later occurred to me that I could do with a bit more fire-lighting paper.

Someone left a stack of them in the League of Fiends cafe at the hospital I work at.

They've been there for a few days

(On an unrelated note I accidentally spilled my mug of tea whilst I was in the League of Fiends today. Thankfully a stack of papers left on the table stopped it going all over the floor)

There was a group of people with placards about various conspiracy stuff and advising people to visit “the light paper” outside the Courtyard Theatre in Hereford the other week.
I took great pleasure in putting on a mask just before I walked past them and pointing out their lies,

That was lucky

I note with pleasure on page 24 of the most recent issue they are literally carrying ads for tinfoil hats winter beanies

[Opti]

Ah f.ck. Now you've got me looking at some of the ads.

I really must get one of those Grander Water things, an absolute bargain!
