I’m having serious doubts
My wife just stunned me by saying: "Would you still use a platform if Enoch Powell owned and controlled it?" Don't know the answer. For now, I'm still thinking it is important to be on Twitter/X to counter the racists, bigots and liars.

Put simply: If you engage in violent protests, you will face the full force of the law.

You put Suella Braverman in charge. You called asylum seekers “illegal immigrants”, knowing they’re not. You gave money, millions, to Rwanda instead of funding the processing of asylum applications. You placated the far-right with ever more violent rhetoric. You did this.
The shocking scenes we’re seeing on the streets of Britain have nothing to do with the tragedy in Southport. This is violent, criminal behaviour that has no place in our society. The police have our full support to deal with these criminals swiftly and they must face the full weight of the law.

It's funny how nobody, from Nick Ferrari to Rishi Sunak, Andrew Pierce to Suella Braverman (and I'm sure we can name dozens upon of other "journalists" and politicians) feels the incy-winciest bit of responsibility.

“We enter parliament to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets, that is its affair. We do not come as friends. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.” - Joseph Goebbels

This is my all time favourite political commentary. By the late, great George Carlin. Even more relevant today. Goodnight ♥️

They say ignorance is bliss and I can see why. He’s happy believing that. You wonder how he got to that age and managed to stay alive with so little common sense never mind so little education.
Talked to these people who said abortions are happening four weeks after babies are born. They are not.

Only six months ago French farmers were spraying public buildings with manure and fighting against measures to address the climate crisis. Now they want public help because the climate crisis is destroying their crops. independent.ie/farming/tilla…

Hold X accountable.
Here’s a further analysis of X being freely used to spread racist rumours

But the BBC calls them “protesters”.
I don’t recall “Just stop oil” or “Extinction Rebellion” members setting police stations on fire, setting police vehicles on fire or throwing rocks and bricks at police officers. Do you?

Really? Unbelievable. Why? (Rhetorical)
The BBC says: “Protesters target mosque”. Can you imagine saying “Protesters target synagogue? These are criminals. By platforming Farage, Oakeshott, Tice, Goodwin etc, the BBC normalised the far right. Now it legitimises them as so called “protesters” bbc.com/news/articles/cnl0lk…
