The article doesn’t make this claim.

The uk gov are watching Australia and the evidence to see the effect of their new ban in practice.

This is normal practice for any government.

No news here. Just bait by a right wing Conservative Party mouthpiece.

For those outside the UK the Telegraph should not be considered unbiased news.


Well they don't cut together clips to make it sound like people say something completely different like the BBC does, so they are way more dependable in that sense. But that's sort of like comparing them to Pravda so the bar isn't set very high.

They really don't claim to be anything else than conservative either, and them being conservative doesn't logically make it wrong either does it?

Twitter is really bad for the Labour party because it allows young people to hear dissenting views and criticism that you won't see in large parts of the media.

Labour politicians has done some shocking and outrageous things recently, and are doing terrible in recent polls, most likely because people can go on Twitter and Tiktok and get hear criticism of them.


The BBC has never been as impartial as it pretends, especially when it comes to covering things like the royal family, the Irish Troubles or Scottish independence.

Labour seems to be attacking everyone, from the elderly, to the disabled, to farmers to migrants. A very wide range.


They take suggestions from the same places. This is why we see the same policies popping up across the developed world. This is just one of them.

Like digital ID, Starmer has taken this from some international discussion you weren't invited to.

Then they pretend either they came up with it or the public wanted it.

"No news here. Just bait by a right wing Conservative Party mouthpiece."

Labour and the Tories are enacting the same policies. If the Tories were in they would be pushing this to. They hate free speech and the right to protest as much as Labour does. Their elder statesmen William Hague and Tony Blair are both pushing this stuff, as hard as each other. Don't fall for the two party shell game like the Americans do. The current Labour Party under Starmer is not any more left wing than the Tories are. The idea that they are at opposite ends of the room is ridiculous.


Because Capital has captured the legislature.

to commit an act usually means that its intentional and illegal. suicide is often neither. hence the passive tone.

compare and contrast: - he committed suicide - he was a victim of suicide - he died by suicide

each implies different levels of legality and passivity, and therefore control, and responsibility.

in this particular case the passive voice is extra important because to any reasonable person the post office management / fujitsu / uk gov are the responsible parties.

How about unicode or emojis?

These don't have the full fidelity as hn scrubs emojis

add = (a, b) -> a + b

a, b ⟹ a + b

λ add(a, b): ↪ a + b


It’s $250! FFS!

Donate 245 to a charity. And make a dual sided sign out of reclaimed palet wood and that soldering iron you bought last year.


Unlike (say) French, English has no central authority determining correct or incorrect usage.

Anything literally goes.


Including, unfortunately, this usage of "literally."


You're literally being a like, linguistic pervert rn


I read this in a Moon Unit Zappa voice.

What other use of literally is there?


Were you not aware what hapoened to the word several years ago?


Malort implied butlersean’s use of literally is incorrect, which it doesn’t appear to be.

I am aware that groaning about incorrect usage of literally is a meme but that seems to also require being wrong about the usage being incorrect.
