I can’t tell what’s satire and what’s reality anymore 🤪…Life is getting that absurd…Thank you for highlighting Laura.

Was thinking the exact same thing. Is Helen real? Shout out to her in any case.

My mum was a stringer there for a while and in the newsroom was a banner DON'T GET IT RIGHT, GET IT WRITTEN

Exactly! Why let the facts get in the way of a good story? If people wanted facts, they'd read The Sun.

I just bought you a cup of coffee and, like I said in my message, I can't really afford a cup of coffee at 4 pounds a shot, but you're so brilliant, and I love your stories so much, I just can't help myself. Enjoy that coffee!

Is Keir Starmer guilty of hate speech? Every time the deeply repellent, unashamed and generously Israeli lobby-funded Zionist supports Israeli ethnic cleansing and genocide via bombs, torture, starvation and poisoning, not to mention its periodic invasions of neighbouring countries, is he not admitting a hatred for Arabs? Does he believe being a 'wrong' religion reduces people to extinguishable 'subhuman animals' too? Zionism is, after all racism, and what could be more hateful than that. All strength to Normal Island news, Helen of Wales, Kneecap and Bob Vylan. And if Israel's Prime Minister of Britain can despise people, why shouldn't everyone?

I saw the modern Jonathan Swift (aka Laura K) quoted on some mainstream media channel two days ago - but I fear I mistakenly, as evidence of her support for banning Kneecap or Villain... or something. That's where satire gets you in a world devoid of irony or nuance! You will be hustled onto the BBC, or invited on Question Time soon, and then what will you do? Ironic that irony is now comprehensively misjudged, or simply unrecognised! Remember the Great British Sense of Humour? As dead as its reputation for decency. We can now kill babies and old people, way-hey...

One day in the not too distant future there will be a blue plaque on a house in Wales with Helen’s name on it.

Helen of Wales, that's the kind of true people royalty, not the fake Windsors who are all of Sachsen-Coburg, just changed their names like Nethanyahoo or how that fake person calls himself.

Helen of Wales needs to be protected by all of us, like all oppressed and bombed by the oppressors people do!

Are you telling me that only by now we realize the meaning of the word "terrorist" which we have missed for years? So, a terrorist is someone who terrorizes the western imperialists by his IDEAS that expose their lies and propaganda. And since Muslims were and still the ones who were/are at the receiving end of the western gun, it is logical they are the ones who deserve the term terrorists the most. I have never imagined western individuals would be potential terrorists under state inspection. Just like what happened with Muslims, the imperialists would find a propaganda justification or making new laws to justify disappearing outspoken individuals who terrorize the elites with facts. "Truth hurts" but to imperialist propagandists truth terrorizes.

I would have thought that by now the counter-terrorism police would have learned from their IDF trainers that the real threat lies in schools, universities hospitals and creches where these creatures are indoctrinated into the fake news that they might actually be members of our exclusive human race.

A refresher course on the ground in Gaza might wake them up to the perils lurking in nurseries and maternity units.

"Helen from Wales" is tragi-comedy/satire genius.

So funny and tragically so true, when the absurd becomes reality we know the “evil empire “ are losing the narrative and power.

Even daily Mail readers will see through this one day, when they are staring at starvation or the end of a gun.
