And for today's news to put a smile on your face

Milo Yiannopoulos Says He's Broke
“I can’t put food on the table this way.”


The disgraced right-wing troll is complaining that the major social media companies have effectively cut off his alt-right audience — and crushed his ability to make a decent living.

Aw diddums... poor Milo has a sad on. I guess that is what happens when you are literally the devil, having sold your soul to make a few quid... the right wing knows no loyalty

Milo Yiannopoulos (/jəˈnɒpələs/;[3] born Milo Hanrahan, 18 October 1984), or pen name Milo Andreas Wagner,[4] is a British far-right[5] political commentator, polemicist


In January 2016, Yiannopoulos set up his Privilege Grant for white men to balance scholarships for women and minorities. He participated in an online telethon to raise money for the grant and in August 2016, reported that approximately $100,000 had been received in donations and a further $250,000 had been pledged.

In August 2016, it was revealed that over a quarter of a million dollars had gone missing from the Yiannopoulos Privilege Grant. Yiannopoulos apologised for mismanaging the grant and denied speculation he had spent the money. In March 2018, Yiannopoulos confirmed that the fund had been closed down.[66]


In December 2018, The Guardian reported that documents assembled by his former Australian tour promoters, Australian Events Management, showed Yiannopoulos had accrued more than $2 million in unpaid debt. Yiannopoulos reportedly owed $1.6 million to his own company, $400,000 to the Mercer Family Foundation, $153,215 to his former lawyers, $76,574 to former collaborator and Breitbart writer Allum Bokhari, and $20,000 to the luxury brand Cartier.[99]
