Twitter's power came from effectively eliminating class/influence. A user with 2 followers could reply or converse w/ Lady Gaga. But powerful people don't like being talked back to (celebs, politicians, journalists) so Twitter now just becomes a newspaper, the medium it killed. https://t.co/Z4PrqqRdEG
Consider : Kay Burley could put such restrictions on her tweets
but the Bay Kurley parody account could simply repost the tweet and we could all reply to that.

Well some good news that Her royal gaspingness Megain and her obviously pussywhipped husband have announced they are withdrawing from life as senior Royals, and will probably move to the Wokest place she can find – Canada.
Well their loss is our gain, despite the fact we will still have to pay around £600K for their security.
The media are playing this as their decision, but the probablity is more likely that other senior royals have had a hand in shunting this most unpopular pair off away from the UK to stop her from destroying the Monarchy.
A shame because before he met her, he seemed a decent popular guy with reasonable morals.

Oh my giddy aunt. Does this mean that in a 2040 edition of the Daily Mail we shall read an article claiming that “a man appeared in court today charged with verbal and physical assault on an elderly woman.
The court heard that the man, Harry Windsor, of no fixed abode had been sleeping rough close to Buckingham palace after parting from his wife some years ago. The woman claimed that Mr Windsor had kicked her in the shins and swore at her when she refused his request for 50p for a cup of tea?”
Well, that’s my evening stuffed…Moaning Meghan is leaving the country…and even worse news, she’s taking that pathetic dipstick, Harry with her. I’m distraught!
Apparently they’re going to become “financially independent.”
This I’d love to see!
WTF are they going to do? She was a bit part actress in a soap and Harry’s a…?
What do you reckon, a couple of extras in Eastenders?
Maybe popping up in I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here? If only!
One thing I’m certain of, we’ll definitely be seeing the woke and whinging duo doing the rounds on the endless American talk show circuit.
Poor Meg’s can bleat to her heart’s content about how harshly the little princess has been treated by the British media. And Harry can lecture us about CO2 and how we’ve all got to stop driving gas guzzlers and flying to Benidorm for our holidays and the horrific perils of global warming.
And then they’ll jet off to see Elton John…
Oh they’ll be popping back to represent her Maj at film premieres so they can walk the red carpets with their fellow celebs. While the plebs pay for their pad at Frogmore to be kept in tip top condition + all security issues.
This is the first stage in the divorce process. Megan was always too wilful and hungry for attention to be an ideal royal. She is clearly bored already with the rigidity of royal life and wants to break out – but she still wants the status. Harry doesn’t know how to be a strong man and keep his wife in line. Nor does he have the intelligence to see that she is tearing him away from his greatest supporter – his brother – and making him turn his back on his country and his people. Sooner or later his royal glamour will wear off for Megan and she will realise she has married a wimp. Irretrievable marriage breakdown will then ensue.
People say I’m too critical of Meghan Markle – but she ditched her family, ditched her Dad, ditched most of her old friends, split Harry from William & has now split him from the Royal Family.

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 8, 2020
Like (almost) every reader of this site I have been rightly basking in a mixture of being on the ‘right side of history’ for a change, and schadenfreude for the self-inflicted woes of the woke left in particular. Likewise the obvious trauma at the BBC.
But just a reminder that we must keep up the crusade (phrase used advisedly). I am one of the directors of a small (25 people) – let’s say ‘media’ business. Most of the staff are half my age – and lovely people. I never give them an inkling of my politics or support for Brexit for instance. This has had the benefit of allowing me to observe their more overt politics without them really realising that mine are very different.
What is very clear is that their worldview is almost entirely formed by the BBC and Guardian – literally. You might think that their worldview was formed by their politics. The morning after the election one Snowflake was literally in tears. This is a girl from a well-off middle-class background in an affluent Surrey town. She is well paid and so is her boyfriend who drives a brand new Tesla. Yet she somehow thought that everything would have been better under a near communist government.
But there is a very practical side to what is going on here. This admittedly already pretty ‘woke’ crew eschew the tabloids (particular horror of Mailonline). However, they won’t pay for the news. Hence (and I know because I see their laptop and mobile screens – just in passing of course) they see the BBC and Guardian as their go-to news choice. They see these as ‘highbrow’ but most importantly (unlike say the Times – which you think some might see as relatively ‘balanced’) they are free.
It’s also worth remembering that Google gives these titles a double advantage in their news search results and I think this is a factor too. Firstly (and perhaps not unreasonably because its algorithm demotes gated news sources), but of course much more corrupt, they have been shown by whistle-blowers to have manually downgraded anything other than left wing news sources by manually fiddling their algorithms.
I have no doubt that for these champagne millennials (with beer budgets for news) the free availability of these relentlessly biased titles has a massive impact on their politics. We should not rest until the BBC is de-funded and the Guardian loses its effective cross-subsidy from the BBC and the likes of Google.
“What is very clear is that their worldview is almost entirely formed by the BBC and Guardian – literally.”

Kafir, good post. This matches my experience of much of the media industry. Although the Mail online sidebar will be browsed in lunch breaks — ‘ironically’, of course, but everything that comes out of the Guardian is sacrosanct
And he’s not the only rap ‘artist’ being done for crimes:
“This isn’t Headie One’s first conviction.
The rapper was reportedly locked up for 30 months in 2014 after being caught with heroin and cocaine worth £30,000 in Aberdeen.
His lawyer at the time said he’d been acting as a drug courier to pay off debts.
Asked by the NME last year what his other convictions were for, he said “everything, really”.
“Drugs charges, violent charges. I’m lucky to be here today.”
Headie One is the latest UK musician to face jail time for carrying a knife, following on from Brit and Mercury Prize-nominated rapper J Hus, who received an eight month sentence in 2018.
Drill artist Unknown T, meanwhile, has been remanded in custody since being charged with murder in July and is awaiting the start of his trial.
YouTube has previously banned drill videos at the Metropolitan Police’s request, and last year two drill artists were found guilty of breaching a gang injunction when they performed one of their songs.”
‘Revolting and disgusting’ Corbyn and Thornberry blasted over response to US-Iran tensions.

Mr Abedini said: “To be honest it’s revolting and disgusting trying to defend a brutal regime.

Anyway – it will be interesting what show biz does to him now that he has called out the industry in such a public and brutal way . Of the bits I’ve seen there were a lot in that audience stony faced .
Maybe Weinstein will call him as a character witness . … I wonder what film producers have replaced them casting couch ‘ with ?
The royal thing is being treated very seriously by the bee lady and the Asian work experience one .
The BBC has been selling the global warming lie all the time yet is not talking about the added air miles these two rich people will be adding as they commute between their palaces . I can’t see the American actress one sitting on a regular flight in economy . They’ll want a personal jet .
Maybe Harry can find a dodgy billionaire to fund him in the way Uncle Andy did . And since his missus is going to be back with the acting set he ll have plenty of time for a massage .
Talking of massages the BBC isn’t mentioning the pictures the Sun has published of an American President and Ms Maxwell the pimp or with ‘ a young friend ‘ .

Advert for a BBC something has a mixed race family delivering the message.
Advert for a black comedian show.

DS,
Some female ‘Reverend’ delivered the BABC’s ‘Thought for the Day’ earlier on Toady. A ‘green’ message no less needless to say. Recited in bad English I had a problem in following. Sounded African.
Glad I don’t have a licence and cannot have diversity and multikulti delivered relentlessly through my tv screen. It seems to be arriving at fever pitch from what I understand. Most normal people are noticing now and resent this shift up a gear by the Black & Asian Broadcasting Corp. Is the backlash starting? I look forward to hearing the next fall in the annual number of licenses purchased.
DS,
“Mixed race family”. Always black though. Not muslim and white. I wonder why. Perhaps the BABC recognise that members of the Religion of Peace would be most upset to see a fictitious muslim supposedly married to a Christian infidel. In reality, that would be certain death surely?
How about the series of events of enormous anti white race hate that completely destroyed her White father?
These Nazi’s have decided people from a mixed race background are always to be refered to through the lens of the most ethnic parent.
The same thing happened with Obama, who had a Black father. His mother and father seperated a few weeks after he was born and he was brought up in a White household, but despite this the anti white race haters who are every bit as bad the National Front and the BNP have erased his White mother from history.
The BBC is now promoting extremist race hate views which are every bit as unacceptable as they are when expressed by those they call the ‘far right’, only the target of their hate is different.
Dover
I don’t know whether it is just me or whether one changes once one notices what the BBC is doing in its messaging .
I support the view that Dom Cummings expressed about the civil service in the job advert last week that organisations are hot for ‘diversity ‘ in colour but not in ‘thought ‘ .
For the BBC there can only be one view – same for the trolls who turn up here and crawl back under their stone from time to time . I just see the BBC as a foreign enemy broadcaster now . Time’s up.
Amol turns to twitter to rally the bubble about… twitter.

Fallacy : poor English in the headline
It certainly wasn’t the lowest sales for 25 years
but it was the year with the “lowest growth” in sales for 25 years.
A business can increase sales easily by dropping prices
but then it suffers lower profits.
It might prefer to instead not increase sales, but make savings in business and thus end up with higher profits.
I nearly burst a vein when this was reported on the local ITV news. They couldn’t help but editorialise the story by suggestng Greggs profits were largely down to the vegan sausage roll.
Here’s a thing, I remember when it was such a small company that it was called Gregg’s Of Gosforth. Since then it’s expanded from a North East based company to going National. They’ve rebranded the shops with new clean fonts. Their pricing is the right side of what customers want to pay (A trip to their outlet in Newcastle Airport is part of part of many families plan when flying to a holiday. A bacon roll and a coffee for about £3 versus £3 for a bottle of water once you pass passport control? Substantial Sandwiches and crisps for a family of 4 for under a tenner to eat on the plane versus an inflight meal for one costing £15?). They’ve leveraged said vegan sausage roll for publicity. They have shops in major cities open 24 hours a day.
I wish Greggs was a government run organisation only so I could find out how much the vegan sausage roll ACTUALLY contributes to their bottom line via a freedom of information request.
Okay everyone, I took one for the team and sat through episode 2 last night and to be fair the bulk of the damage and wokeness had already been done in episode 1.
It turns out that the whole Right Wing Terrorist angle was a bit of a red herring and wasn’t mentioned.
We’d already met all of the protagonists so it wouldn’t be right for me to rake over those coals again.
One slightly surreal moment to mention. The unidentified villain of the piece was delivering drugs to someone because he was encouraging people to commit suicide. He sent a message to the friend/victim to say he was on his way that read “Mohammed is coming to the mountain” which to me is just a play on the old saying that if one person can’t make it to a meeting, the other will go to them instead. This was met by a comment from one of the Silent Witness team of “hmmm he’s got delusions”. Eh? Very woke I’m sure, it was simply an old saying. Could’ve been worse, he could have sent it as a cartoon.
Anyway, nothing here to see. The clips to whet our appetite for next weeks story were edited like an MTV video so it was all a bit confusing. There does appear to be a scene where a senior detective accompanies the team into a very dangerous and sinister looking basement/stroke bunker. As you’d expect, because the character looks to be a senior officer she’s a woman. A heavily pregnant woman. I’m sure her wife supports her decision to do such dangerous physical work so far into her third trimester.
Why isnt. Doctor Who a tranny ? why not ? where are the disabled parking spaces for the Tardis why do we have one or two white males allowed ?
David Copperfield is now black, (90 % of the current population is NOT black, white women are not married to black men) so what is going on here ?
The country voted and guess what….it is a silent majority not twittering not allowed on the BBC and yet….
“”Amid high tensions – worsened by the US killing of top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani on 3 January – Iran has said it will not hand over the recovered black box flight recorders to Boeing or to the US.””

I will be starting a petition for mandatory jail sentences for false accuations of racism by job incompetent, sexual predatory,l misoginist wife beater people of a certain colour and religion
Titled “Iran missile attack: Did Tehran intentionally avoid US casualties?” they posit the theory that Iran are the mature and thoughtful ones, who wanted to take the high road and make their point in the most harmless way possible. Complete rubbish of course – anyone with a functioning brain can deduce that the attack was for domestic consumption only, knowing full well that a single US death would’ve unleashed hell on them.

Twitter overload has ranted that the media has been racist towards the reporting of Meghan. Utter nonsense, for a start they’re daren’t for fear of prosecution. The twatterati should look back to the beginning of this romance.
No, we don’t see a mixed race woman, we see someone who had ambitions in status. She came to Britain and wanted introductions to famous (and wealthy) footballers, and eyed up Ashley Cole. She was introduced to Harry and she hit the jackpot. Had he been a runner on the set of Suits would she have been equally enamoured ?
Harry has never met his father-in-law, someone with his upbringing should have insisted and done the ‘right’ thing. The chaos at the wedding with Kate’s tears, wanting air fresheners in church, demanding a particular tiara to wear, all didn’t bode well for the future.
All the reporting about how Harry has had to deal with his death of his mum at a young age, should be put to rest. Millions of kids lose their mum and get on with life, but Harry has dined out on it all his life Before his marriage he was always laughing when in the company of his brother and Kate, without any indication he was ‘suffering’ with royal life, and now he is forever scowling and miserable looking.
Perhaps baby no.2 could be on the cards, followed by a marriage split ?
She landed her royal prince, keeps the perks and the status, has mega endorsement deals to look forward to, but won’t have to put up with any of those tedious royal duties like smiling and shaking hands.
So, Meghan, what first attracted you to the millionaire royal prince?
Racist ? hmm first black in the RF and what happens ? where the money gimmee the money, work ? no way just the money
There is an unwritten moral code in this country yet we have immigrants begging for a passport and gang raping our children with the bbc aiding and abbetting through refusing to report yet happy to headline a “christian ” rapist any pakistani muslim rapsit is labelled asain

Whether the American ex-TV-actress-divorcee is black or white on any particular day is down to Photoshop and the graphics editor working on the picture. If it’s a woke story, the filters are adjusted to darken her skin tone. If the story is trying to emphasise more traditional values, they lighten it. Take a look at a selection of photos of the Happy Couple and you’ll soon see what’s going on.
You’ve made a good point there Ian, AND in earlier pictures where she was happy to be photo’d with her Dad, her nose is identical to his – flat and wide, but look at it now – and its certainly not photoshopped !
If anybody has had anything to do with Government Departments in London, they will know that the staff are essentially foreigners masquerading as ‘British Citizens’.

Two singled out for good performances last night. Which one gets a spot on the BBC home page? Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, or a man of Bangladeshi descent with a massive afro? Hamza Choudhury: Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers says midfielder gave side ‘identity back’. Complete with discussion and interactive vote: ‘Should Hamza Choudhury be given an England call-up?’
Actually in the post-match conference Brendan said quite a few things, but apparently none so important as those praising Choudhury who (via Wiki) “reads the Quran and says that before leaving the changing room for a match, he recites Ayat al-Kursi and other duas”. Just don’t mention the tweets from 2013 where expressed no sympathy for people who commit suicide, criticised lady football and cracked the joke “Why are black people so fast… because the slow ones are in prison.”
No, last night he gave Leicester their ‘identity back’. I see what you did there, BBC.

Sooner or later his royal glamour will wear off for Megan and she will realise she has married a wimp. Irretrievable marriage breakdown will then ensue.

Like (almost) every reader of this site I have been rightly basking in a mixture of being on the ‘right side of history’ for a change, and schadenfreude for the self-inflicted woes of the woke left in particular. Likewise the obvious trauma at the BBC.
But just a reminder that we must keep up the crusade (phrase used advisedly). I am one of the directors of a small (25 people) – let’s say ‘media’ business. Most of the staff are half my age – and lovely people. I never give them an inkling of my politics or support for Brexit for instance. This has had the benefit of allowing me to observe their more overt politics without them really realising that mine are very different.
What is very clear is that their worldview is almost entirely formed by the BBC and Guardian – literally. You might think that their worldview was formed by their politics. The morning after the election one Snowflake was literally in tears. This is a girl from a well-off middle-class background in an affluent Surrey town. She is well paid and so is her boyfriend who drives a brand new Tesla. Yet she somehow thought that everything would have been better under a near communist government.
But there is a very practical side to what is going on here. This admittedly already pretty ‘woke’ crew eschew the tabloids (particular horror of Mailonline). However, they won’t pay for the news. Hence (and I know because I see their laptop and mobile screens – just in passing of course) they see the BBC and Guardian as their go-to news choice. They see these as ‘highbrow’ but most importantly (unlike say the Times – which you think some might see as relatively ‘balanced’) they are free.
It’s also worth remembering that Google gives these titles a double advantage in their news search results and I think this is a factor too. Firstly (and perhaps not unreasonably because its algorithm demotes gated news sources), but of course much more corrupt, they have been shown by whistle-blowers to have manually downgraded anything other than left wing news sources by manually fiddling their algorithms.
I have no doubt that for these champagne millennials (with beer budgets for news) the free availability of these relentlessly biased titles has a massive impact on their politics. We should not rest until the BBC is de-funded and the Guardian loses its effective cross-subsidy from the BBC and the likes of Google.

“Rapper Headie One jailed for six months”

And he’s not the only rap ‘artist’ being done for crimes:
“This isn’t Headie One’s first conviction.
The rapper was reportedly locked up for 30 months in 2014 after being caught with heroin and cocaine worth £30,000 in Aberdeen.
His lawyer at the time said he’d been acting as a drug courier to pay off debts.
Asked by the NME last year what his other convictions were for, he said “everything, really”.
“Drugs charges, violent charges. I’m lucky to be here today.”
Headie One is the latest UK musician to face jail time for carrying a knife, following on from Brit and Mercury Prize-nominated rapper J Hus, who received an eight month sentence in 2018.
Drill artist Unknown T, meanwhile, has been remanded in custody since being charged with murder in July and is awaiting the start of his trial.
YouTube has previously banned drill videos at the Metropolitan Police’s request, and last year two drill artists were found guilty of breaching a gang injunction when they performed one of their songs.”

‘Revolting and disgusting’ Corbyn and Thornberry blasted over response to US-Iran tensions.
JEREMY CORBYN and Emily Thornberry have been brutally lambasted over their response to the rising tensions between Iran and the US following the death of General Qassem Soleimani.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, a member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Hossein Abedini, branded the Labour Party frontbenchers “revolting and disgusting” as he blasted both Jeremy Corbyn and leadership hopeful, Emily Thornberry, following their response to the US killing of General Qassem Soleimani. Mr Abedini said: “To be honest it’s revolting and disgusting trying to defend a brutal regime.

Some female ‘Reverend’ delivered the BABC’s ‘Thought for the Day’ earlier on Toady. A ‘green’ message no less needless to say. Recited in bad English I had a problem in following. Sounded African.
Glad I don’t have a licence and cannot have diversity and multikulti delivered relentlessly through my tv screen. It seems to be arriving at fever pitch from what I understand. Most normal people are noticing now and resent this shift up a gear by the Black & Asian Broadcasting Corp. Is the backlash starting? I look forward to hearing the next fall in the annual number of licenses purchased.

How about the series of events of enormous anti white race hate that completely destroyed her White father?
These Nazi’s have decided people from a mixed race background are always to be refered to through the lens of the most ethnic parent.
The same thing happened with Obama, who had a Black father. His mother and father seperated a few weeks after he was born and he was brought up in a White household, but despite this the anti white race haters who are every bit as bad the National Front and the BNP have erased his White mother from history.
The BBC is now promoting extremist race hate views which are every bit as unacceptable as they are when expressed by those they call the ‘far right’, only the target of their hate is different.

Fallacy : poor English in the headline
It certainly wasn’t the lowest sales for 25 years
but it was the year with the “lowest growth” in sales for 25 years.
A business can increase sales easily by dropping prices
but then it suffers lower profits.
It might prefer to instead not increase sales, but make savings in business and thus end up with higher profits.

I nearly burst a vein when this was reported on the local ITV news. They couldn’t help but editorialise the story by suggestng Greggs profits were largely down to the vegan sausage roll.
Here’s a thing, I remember when it was such a small company that it was called Gregg’s Of Gosforth. Since then it’s expanded from a North East based company to going National. They’ve rebranded the shops with new clean fonts. Their pricing is the right side of what customers want to pay (A trip to their outlet in Newcastle Airport is part of part of many families plan when flying to a holiday. A bacon roll and a coffee for about £3 versus £3 for a bottle of water once you pass passport control? Substantial Sandwiches and crisps for a family of 4 for under a tenner to eat on the plane versus an inflight meal for one costing £15?). They’ve leveraged said vegan sausage roll for publicity. They have shops in major cities open 24 hours a day.
I wish Greggs was a government run organisation only so I could find out how much the vegan sausage roll ACTUALLY contributes to their bottom line via a freedom of information request.

SILENT WITNESS UPDATE
Okay everyone, I took one for the team and sat through episode 2 last night and to be fair the bulk of the damage and wokeness had already been done in episode 1.
It turns out that the whole Right Wing Terrorist angle was a bit of a red herring and wasn’t mentioned.
We’d already met all of the protagonists so it wouldn’t be right for me to rake over those coals again.
One slightly surreal moment to mention. The unidentified villain of the piece was delivering drugs to someone because he was encouraging people to commit suicide. He sent a message to the friend/victim to say he was on his way that read “Mohammed is coming to the mountain” which to me is just a play on the old saying that if one person can’t make it to a meeting, the other will go to them instead. This was met by a comment from one of the Silent Witness team of “hmmm he’s got delusions”. Eh? Very woke I’m sure, it was simply an old saying. Could’ve been worse, he could have sent it as a cartoon.
Anyway, nothing here to see. The clips to whet our appetite for next weeks story were edited like an MTV video so it was all a bit confusing. There does appear to be a scene where a senior detective accompanies the team into a very dangerous and sinister looking basement/stroke bunker. As you’d expect, because the character looks to be a senior officer she’s a woman. A heavily pregnant woman. I’m sure her wife supports her decision to do such dangerous physical work so far into her third trimester.

There’s an article on the Beeb’s news page that clearly shows where their loyalties lie in the ongoing kerfuffle between Iran and the U.S.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-51042156
Titled “Iran missile attack: Did Tehran intentionally avoid US casualties?” they posit the theory that Iran are the mature and thoughtful ones, who wanted to take the high road and make their point in the most harmless way possible. Complete rubbish of course – anyone with a functioning brain can deduce that the attack was for domestic consumption only, knowing full well that a single US death would’ve unleashed hell on them.

Twitter overload has ranted that the media has been racist towards the reporting of Meghan. Utter nonsense, for a start they’re daren’t for fear of prosecution. The twatterati should look back to the beginning of this romance.
No, we don’t see a mixed race woman, we see someone who had ambitions in status. She came to Britain and wanted introductions to famous (and wealthy) footballers, and eyed up Ashley Cole. She was introduced to Harry and she hit the jackpot. Had he been a runner on the set of Suits would she have been equally enamoured ?
Harry has never met his father-in-law, someone with his upbringing should have insisted and done the ‘right’ thing. The chaos at the wedding with Kate’s tears, wanting air fresheners in church, demanding a particular tiara to wear, all didn’t bode well for the future.
All the reporting about how Harry has had to deal with his death of his mum at a young age, should be put to rest. Millions of kids lose their mum and get on with life, but Harry has dined out on it all his life Before his marriage he was always laughing when in the company of his brother and Kate, without any indication he was ‘suffering’ with royal life, and now he is forever scowling and miserable looking.
Perhaps baby no.2 could be on the cards, followed by a marriage split ?

Whether the American ex-TV-actress-divorcee is black or white on any particular day is down to Photoshop and the graphics editor working on the picture. If it’s a woke story, the filters are adjusted to darken her skin tone. If the story is trying to emphasise more traditional values, they lighten it.

A Tale of Two Footballers —
Two singled out for good performances last night. Which one gets a spot on the BBC home page? Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish, or a man of Bangladeshi descent with a massive afro? Hamza Choudhury: Leicester’s Brendan Rodgers says midfielder gave side ‘identity back’. Complete with discussion and interactive vote: ‘Should Hamza Choudhury be given an England call-up?’
Actually in the post-match conference Brendan said quite a few things, but apparently none so important as those praising Choudhury who (via Wiki) “reads the Quran and says that before leaving the changing room for a match, he recites Ayat al-Kursi and other duas”. Just don’t mention the tweets from 2013 where expressed no sympathy for people who commit suicide, criticised lady football and cracked the joke “Why are black people so fast… because the slow ones are in prison.”
No, last night he gave Leicester their ‘identity back’. I see what you did there, BBC.
