‘Whispering in his ear’: how Holly Valance became a cheerleader for the radical right

   Just look at this development and ask questions.

   The right wing never learn any lessons. Brexit, Brexit party, reform etc are always trying to weaken our country. They hate our country. Look at the disinformation on reddit from dodgy accounts.

2. The last time I saw Holly Valance’s name it was 2003 so this feels like a Brass Eye bit.

3. Cute Flick from Neighbours is now a far right influencer.

   What a dreadful timeline we live in.

4. Amazing way to stick the landing on this paragraph from her [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_Valance). 10/10.

   _Asked about her views, she said, “I would say that everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home then realises what crap ideas they all are, and then you go to the right.” Although Valance has never run a business, she is married to a billionaire property developer._

5. Pretty on the outside, twisted and ugly on the inside.

6. These foreigners coming to our country and importing foreign, American GOP style “culture wars” values to try and disrupt the indigenous political culture. 

    Tisk tisk.  /s

7. Should be a fairly short article:

   – Married a billionaire 
   – Suddenly became very vocal about ‘her taxes’ going to poor people

8. Grifters gonna grift.

   There’s no money in promoting left wing ideas.

   Populism though… Easy market. “it’s so obvious I know all the answers and these guys say what I think”

9. We don’t need Jonny foreigner influencing our politics. It’s why we voted leave!!!

10. Isn’t she Australian?

    *Bloody foreigners coming over here and thinking they own the place*

    /s

11. They’re supposedly the “far right” any other time, guess someone doesn’t want Valance suing with her husbands billions.

12. “I’m a stay-at-home mum with enough food in the fridge and the school fees sorted, and that’s about all I require,” she said.

    Good grief. How cooked that this is the self description, given that she’s married to a billionaire. Holly from the block, apparently

13. At school in the 90s I thought people were talking about some dude called Oliver Lance off of Neighbours.

14. So typical that she used a Turkish song to solidify her fame and then became right wing.

15. Radical right? Hardly. It’s funny because labour is looking more right leaning by the minute

16. What makes her on ‘radical right’ as to oppose to just someone on the right? Everyone seems to want to paint their political opposition as an extremist.

17. I forgot she existed. What else from the 90s is gonna get dredged up?

18. The top of them curtains are wrecked; all the material’s worn.

19. Anybody notice how quickly this went from some soap opera zero to whining about Reform?

20. She waxed lyrical on the meaning of a kiss kiss once upon a time

21. Sign pf the times, I hear that Dannii Minogue is standing for the DUP next election, and the Communist Party of Great Britain is now run by a Stalinist clique led by Gina G.

22. It’s interesting, Reform doesn’t want immigration but will have Valance.
