NI’s poshest hotel offers prize for hard-right gathering featuring conspiracy theorists and antivaxxers

from The BelTel

Last week in London the great and good of the political right arrived for a conference focusing on ‘saving the west’. The three-day CPAC event hosted a star-studded cast – from Nigel Farage, to Liz Truss, to Ian Paisley Jr. It also hosted conspiracy theorist and anti-vaccine speakers.  At the ‘Winston Churchill Gala Dinner’ in the programme, one of the prizes was a stay at The Galgorm, in Co. Antrim.  The link between the event which a conservative critic has deemed ‘Yankee-brained slop’ and the hotel which is home to the most expensive guinness in the UK appears to be the former north Antrim MP. The Galgorm resort and spa says that the prize is not an endorsement of the event.  Olivia Peden is joined by Sam McBride.   Hosted on Acast.
