THOSE of you who used to watch Mark Steyn in the days before he was sacked by GB News will be familiar with Eva Vlaardingerbroek, a young Dutch aspiring politician remarkably blessed with brains and beauty, an academic with a Master’s degree in law.
Not that you would know from the MSM. According to all of them she is a scary right wing activist, a far right activist or an extreme right influencer. Enough to make you shiver. Oh goodness, I forgot, she is also a ‘Tommy Robinson ally’, just to ensure that the reader makes no mistake about it.
What is actually behind these labels? A young educated woman of independent thought who had the temerity to stand up for the Dutch farmers and demolish the then Dutch government’s nitrogen excuse. A young educated woman, even worse, who has committed the even more heinous crime of taking on modern feminism.
In a speech she stated that ‘neo-feminists have no reflection on what is retrograde or problematic about multiculturalism, especially on the subject that interests them: sexism. So, this feminism is indeed one of the biggest shams of our time’.
What’s not to agree with that? I do, 100 per cent. And so do her 1.1million followers on X.
As you can imagine, that has earned her some black marks. And that was just the beginning.
