Rich NATA Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Anyone see that documentary about Boris Johnson and the Russian's last night? I never saw it myself, but I was listening to James O'Brien this morning (who is no fan of Jeremy Corbyn) and he was asking how on Earth Johnson is getting a way with this; because if it had been Corbyn he would have been absolutely crucified for what Johnson had done.

Didn't see it but the simple answer is presumably 'the UK media'? I'll give it a watch tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I did watch it, fairly damning about Johnson and as was said if it had been Corbyn much more would have been made of it, if it had been Sturgeon we'd still be hearing about it. I did note Simon McDonald's comment about how still today, despite their plummeting sales, it's the papers that drive the political agenda. I thought such an admission from a top UK civil servant was very relevant not just about Johnson but also in the context of Scottish independence.

It’s still them that produce the news and the headlines , which give the bbc and others justification to report/regurgitate them from a supposed position of impartiality.

And free advertising space in every supermarket. You don't need to read the rags, customers just see the headline and think it's the Gospel truth. They're also incredibly selective, this week they were having a great time slating Sturgeon over COVID and yet the same papers didn't carry any visible criticism of the UK Government where what was coming out was no better and probably a lot worse!

Ally Bongo Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Will July 2023 see the end of Twitter ? Looks very much like it Twitter has applied a temporary limit to the number of tweets users can read in a day, owner Elon Musk has said. In a tweet, Mr Musk said unverified accounts can read up to 600 posts a day. Verified accounts are limited to reading 6,000 posts a day, while newly unverified accounts can only see 300 posts per day, he added. Mr Musk said the temporary limits were to address "extreme levels" of data scraping and system manipulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a useful tool to help subdue the population. It doesn't seem to be working in France right now, but seems to work just fine in the UK.
