“I have moments”.
All fair points - except that Facebook only exists because people use it. Ditto Xitter. Ditto Spotify. Ditto Amazon.
So yes - I have BETTER things to do. And I think that’s a reasonable, maybe ethical, thing to decide.

Laws might help but that seems to be a distant possibility.

Reiterate (v): to repeat something.

Note the lack of reference to the repeated phrase’s truthfulness.

I’m sorry - I didn’t realise that your post, which made a good point, was not about being exposed to utter garbage on some corners of the internet.

Personally, I avoid all kinds of unpleasant experiences by not immersing my eyeballs in foetid sewers like Facebook.
Life’s too short, and Facebook’s too shit.

I’m sure that Chris Mason - armed with his new directive to mercilessly hunt down not only what was said, but also what was not said - would rip Johnson to pieces.

Perhaps.

I thought he’d died - or emigrated.

Great to hear Chris Mason rolling out the BBC’s new ground rules for its journalists this morning - lots of forensic analysis, timelines, judgement calls and even reporting on what people DON’T say - all these are coming our way apparently.
👏👏👏

Or is it just for this one post-budget story?

Plus the expenditure on Camite?

Must be all that extra tear gas and prison capacity.

“ help the Unis mould Reform policies “

Don’t you build bridges to destinations that you actually want to go to?
Or to allow easier access from that place?
What does a ‘bridge’ with Reform look like? Use more lies? A bit more casual racism? Cultivate more dodgy friends? Develop your economic illiteracy? Say stupid things (oh!!!!!).
