No, Keir Starmer isn’t going to “ban twitter”.
The latest social media panic is selling a familiar (and incredibly predictable) agenda
Kit Knightly
We’re only ten days into 2026, and we’ve already got a war, a revolution and now an incipient social media ban. Allegedly.
Apparently, X’s GrokAI is editing photos to put people in bikinis on request, and this is terrible. Something must be done.
I’m not going to get into the details, or bother quibbling over what is (or is not) pornographic material or sexual assault, whether bikinis are inherently sexual or whether AI generated fake images really count as “undressing”…because none of that is really the issue.
For our purposes, this is just [Issue X].
[Issue X] could be women in bikinis, but it could just as easily be burning Korans, death threats, climate denialism, “anti-vaccine misinformation” or swastikas.
Indeed, it has been any and all of those things in the past, and likely will be again.
It’s not the form of supposedly abhorrent content that should be discussed, but the functions by which our rulers would see it suppressed.
And one solution proposed by Sir Keir Starmer is to ban twitter. Which is upsetting a lot of people.
Too many people, considering it’s almost certainly not going to happen.
Firstly, Keir Starmer isn’t empowered to, or capable of, making his own policy decisions. No more than Ronald McDonald sets the price of McNuggets. So there’s no point in talking about what he wants.
Second, why on Earth would they go to all the trouble of creating this billion-dollar fake free speech platform and then stop people from using it?
No, what’s going to happen is a compromise that drags us further into the age of digital ID for all.
X/Twitter has already made a change that limits the use of GrokAI image generation to paid accounts. Paid accounts, naturally, have to be verified with bank details and identity documents.
It’s only the smallest change to simply enact a new “compromise measure” that will require ALL accounts to verify in one way or another. That could be an X measure, and/or new legislation in the UK.
Rather tellingly, this was being suggested as a “solution” within hours of the story first breaking:
Why don’t we make it so only ID or passport verified profiles can use Grok? all of the media you make it generate goes on an unremovable public tab on your profile. This tab can be used against you in court e.g when applying for custody of your kids, and your employer can see it.…
— Sweet Anita (@sweetanita) January 2, 2026
And just like that, X/Twitter users will be subject to the same ID requirements that already exist (or will soon) in Ireland, Australia, Norway, Denmark, France, Malaysia and Spain, for a totally different reason. One that did not exist a week ago.
That’s some efficient psy-op work.
…all that said, don’t be surprised if there’s a little taster ban. An experimental downing for a day or two where sociologists study people’s reactions, and then “common sense prevails” after the compromise is announced.
This will make Starmer look tough, Elon look reasonable, and everyone happy.

Julie Bindel:
The “grooming gangs” scandal (calling them “rape gangs” would be more accurate) has resurfaced, largely thanks to a New Year’s Day report about Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips declining to commission a Home Office-led inquiry into historic child exploitation in Oldham. The decision was based on the grounds that it is a job for “Oldham Council alone”.
As the issue has returned to national salience, many who have hitherto shown zero interest in condemning child sexual abuse have put themselves at the forefront of the debate. X owner Elon Musk has lobbied for the release of activist Tommy Robinson, who has erroneously been credited for uncovering the scandal. In fact, Musk’s hero, far from breaking the rape gangs story, almost scuppered the 2018 trial of several men who had carried out horrific acts of sexual violence on a number of girls.

Prior to the removal of voting, the following was a heavily upvoted comment; i.e. it can be taken as an illustration of the consensus view regarding Bindel’s article.

How disappointing.
Julie Bindel joins the ranks of prevaricators and apologists.
Essentially mitigating the vicious and sustained racist rape campaign against British children perpetrated by majority Muslim men – because ‘Far Right’ people (AKA citizens who were dismayed at the lack of action from the various authorities) complained about children being raped.
When will people with Left wing DNA open their eyes and call this out for what it is.
The worst scandal, the worst betrayal, the worst atrocity in UK domestic history since the war.
—
With regard to Bindel’s opening claim, Jess Phillips was put in the position of having to decline the inquiry because Oldham council submitted a request. Oldham council submitted that request as an outcome of local political warfare. Raja Miah is a major combatant in that warfare and he credits Musk with providing critical support. That is, without the support of Musk, Oldham council would have never submitted the request; Phillips would have never declined; Bindel would have never published the above article in UnHerd; and she wouldn’t have got trashed in the comments.
Despite his involvement, Miah is referenced neither in Bindel’s article and nor in the comments. However, he is now the target of a hit-piece in The Spectator. And he probably counts that as “progress”!

Criminal candidates, grooming gangs and petrol bombings – welcome to Oldham
Max Jeffery
Issue: 17 Jan 2026
Oldham’s political scene is becoming increasingly fraught. Lots of people put that down to three eccentric blogs called Recusant Nine, The Forsaken, and Red Wall & the Rabble. They are run by a man called Raja Miah, a local who was awarded an MBE in 2004 for improving ‘community relations’ after race riots in Oldham. In Raja’s ‘disclosures’ (articles) and ‘transmissions’ (podcasts), he claims to expose ‘the cover-up of grooming gangs, local government corruption and how Labour party politicians have encouraged division by courting the cartel-controlled block Asian vote’. While to some, Raja is a hero, his critics say he is a conspiracist grifter who poisoned Oldham’s politics as revenge. He has a long-running feud with Oldham West’s Labour MP, Jim McMahon, over free schools he used to run. ‘Raja is a complete opportunist,’ said Imy. ‘He’s quite intelligent to a certain crowd – the far right.’

Keir and Kit are the same.
Starmer is a puppet compromised like Trump…
The English/foreign media in Scotland still in French over Starmers so called outrage at Grok.
Grok which has now been got at said that Scotland wasn’t in a legitimate union with England, effectively it’s a colony of England’s maybe that’s why the English PM Starmer is on a rage about Grok.

Google (AI Overview)
On August 10, 2024, Elon Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter) “Found this pic of the UK justice system”. The post included two images stitched together as a meme to suggest a “two-tier” justice system in the UK. The post included two images:
– The first image was a variation of the “Piper Perri surrounded” meme from an adult film website, showing a white woman on a sofa surrounded by several Black men.
– The second image showed four bearded men, perceived as Muslim elders, standing around a white British police officer seated at a table.
Musk used this meme to suggest that the UK justice system treats different communities with different levels of severity, particularly contrasting the policing of far-right activists with the handling of other groups. In a follow-up comment, he added, “This meme could get you 3 years in prison in the UK (actually)”.
The post was met with significant criticism, with some legal professionals boycotting X and a hate crime charity joining the boycott over the post. British government officials and Prime Minister Keir Starmer also criticized Musk for his posts during a period of civil unrest in the UK, urging him to act responsibly.
Musk has frequently used his platform to criticize the UK government and its approach to free speech and online content regulation, specifically in the context of the Online Safety Act.
Continue, continue, continue.
The more Digital time they use on Internet issues like these, the less idiocy and real killings they do on the real outside.
It’s not some random meme. Rather, it is the real world; its publication is part of a long-running, psywar operation; and it has real-world consequences!

Raja Miah (Aug 11, 2024):
https://www.redwallandtherabble.co.uk/elon-musk-spotlights-oldham-as-a-case-study-in-two-tier-policing
ELON MUSK’s tweet highlighting Oldham as an example of two tier policing has so far been viewed across the world over 50 million times. Whilst mainstream political commentators and establishment stooges are now arguing over whether two tier policing is real, I would rather focus on why the United Kingdom has a system of two tier policing.
Based on 30 years of work, my analysis is going to take us all to a very dark place. Which is why I know who at least some of the people in the photograph with the Superintendent are and why I think it important that you do also.
My answer is a clear NO. I am not going to transform myself to an educated shrink to help people out long term of their Digital illusions.
When I have done my universal plight, telling people 3 times that a TV screen in yr Iphone and computer is a fake world, and our physical world is a true world, my job is done!
People are adults and must bear the consequences of their own weakness and negations.

Firstly, Keir Starmer isn’t empowered to, or capable of, making his own policy decisions. No more than Ronald McDonald sets the price of McNuggets. So there’s no point in talking about what he wants.
Does this apply to your boy Trump?
Trump a ‘boy’? Nah, more like a Man-beast-child.
Tantrums, bragging, mood swings, incoherence, vagueness, pouting, strutting, nasty stares, sniping, cheating, lying _ _ _and on, and on and on.
‘your boy’? I don’t think Kit admires Trump or any politicians
I hate being a party pooper, but the ghouls who are implementing the agenda such as Ursula Von Der Leyden, Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, and a multitude of political puppet’s, have all been banging on about the “spreading of misinformation and hate speech” especially to do with both the toxic jabs, and a certain people in the Middle East who cannot be criticised because, you know, “hate speech”. Even Von Der Leyden said in a speech a while back that: “we need a vaccine for the virus of misinformation”. Yes, I hear you Kit, but in my opinion online censorship is only going to worsen and they’ve made it crystal clear they want to stomp down and silence people like us who shine a light on their lies and who speak truth to power. One of the reasons I deleted Facebook was the ridiculous amount of censorship on that platform, and I also deleted Substack when they bought in age verification just before Christmas. But there are always alternatives. For example, what did the Russian dissidents do in the Soviet Union? Samizdat. And there are groups out there of like minded people… not everything is online behind a digital screen.
“we need a vaccine for the virus of misinformation”
I say the covid fable was a sly revelation of the way the parasite class thinks. That class is obsessed with “contamination” which itself is indicative of a phobia about lack of control.
And the age verification scam on substack is a problem indeed. I put articles on substack but can’t access a lot of material without this verification.
And Twitter is totally hopeless now with the whole thing being swamped with spooks and embarrassing celeb dupes on the “Iranian revolution” crap. Stooges like John Cleese are easily swayed by such “arguments” as how those supporting the Iranian uprising and who are pro-Israel always lead nice friendly civilised protest marches as opposed to the pro-Palestinians. It never occurs to these great minds that a protest with minimal resistance isn’t a protest at all. After all, what is the point of protesting something that y our own government is backing anyway?
But this is what all “dissidence” is going to amount to in the future when the real thing is banned and shadow banned. The protesters will be assigned.
John Cleese are easily swayed by such “arguments”
What about your trannie speech sublady J K rowling?

Good article.
This switch from anti-trans to pro-Israel is so common that I have even come to suspect that trans was at least partly a Trojan Horse operation. Do you hate the trans bullshit? Then embrace Israel!
👍
I’m just watching a really good video on Freemasonry as I type this… but I digress. Someone on here posted a link to one of your Substack articles George and I clicked on it. Lo and behold, no Verify Your Age screen popped up and I could actually see your article. And then I realised it was the UK Substack. Duh! Maybe I should subscribe to the UK Substack?🤷♂️ Yes, lots of shills and agent provacateurs on Facebook as well. It almost got to the point of spot the actual truther! And you’re spot on about these creatures having a phobia about lack of control. That is really evident when you hear them speak. They are scared witless about losing control over their contrived narrative, or rather, lots of people seeing through their lies.
Age verification has popped up for substack private conversation on UK. Which I skip for direct email correspondence. I feel the Iranian Revolution bullshit marks an acceleration of the totalitarian media capture.
Yep, it’s ironic isn’t it Gezzah?
The WWW was pretty much designed by the US military and corporate technocrats, and it’s been biting them, and politicians on the arse, ever since.
The aUStralian Parliament has been recalled early to begin the clampdown on ‘Hate speech’. A term that they will no doubt define and redefine at their whims.
Check this guys YouTube channel Johnny… he’s posted a number of really good videos recently on the Zionist lobby in Australia and their increasing demands, while they simultaneously wave the victim card. I actually think it’s waking up a lot of people about what their agenda is really all about.

“Samizdat”, exactly – we need more creative ideas of how to network, spread the word and motivate our community. Email networks, literature/postal system,( yes bits of paper, that’s still a thing Gen z), connection by phone. Any more?
Even local meetings, get us out from behind the keyboard if you really treasure your freedom. Soon enough we won’t be allowed, hesitate at your peril. Back to basics I say, digital’s usefulness is diminishing rapidly.
Exactly what I have been saying the last 25 year but nobody listened.
The anti-vaccine minority is the ONLY problem this planet has of today. Read my lips again!
It’s funny, because Bill Gates just admitted he’d been disseminating disinformation for years about global warming. Or maybe the fact that he opposes it now is the disinformation. Where’s my scorecard? I am lost.
Yeah, you got yourself a trauma there. That is how it goes when you poke your nose into bad smelling human affairs.
Are you taking bets on it ? What odds are you offering ?
When the young bend knees to pray before bedtime, it’s to ask God for a better deal from their parents, And God, who loves to play dice with the universe, silently replies “Better luck next time.”
“Everybody has a cross to bear”.
Such witty wisdom, O wise one. Yours ?
Yes. Family intellectual property for generations!
Just look at Prince Charles born to be a King. Not funny at all.
Grok is a stupid word made up by a stupid writer for a stupid book he wrote.
“Grok” is an okay word created by an intelligent writer for an intelligent, if dated, book he wrote 60 some years ago.

Stupid people think that stupid book is a good book.
Only after 10 pines.
They ought to ban the whole fucking internet.
But that would deprive us of your witty and intelligent opinions, O Wise One. Would you want that ?
I would like a ban. But I am clearly in minority. The large amount of the populations love it and adore it.
Otherwise they would not pay so much to get it, and If ‘we the people’ are screaming for a ban, it further shows how much we the people need a nanny.

All parents experience behavior from their kids designed to get a rise (reaction) out of them. If you take the bait and react to every little thing then you’ll drive yourself crazy (and more important, you’ll just encourage them to find even more creative ways to drive you up the wall). Its the same with undesirable things on the Internet. You can rush around being shocked and trying to ban things but this type of Whack-a-Mole is futile.
Its also possible that the people creating and propagating these images are trying to tell you something. We, the People, are constantly being assaulted by government that doesn’t seem to be representative of our interests, a media that tells us what to think and subtly ‘nudges’ in to think in particular ways so its not surprising that people react to this with deep cynicism. This mood can obviously harnessed by someone familiar with mass culture and itself used for nefarious purposes (they’ll go along with it until they’ve achieved their aim — usually power — whereupon the masses will just get dumped — again — leaving them even more annoyed and cynical).
“Donald only wants his cut” … (anon) …
And Donald’s cut is as much as he can take…
Photos with faked bikinis inserted. How quaint. I’m sure there are more inventive fakes.
I thought Musk’s erstwhile crony Trump was suing the BBC on a much more flimsy pretext, so why is he attacking the UK? Oh, yes, because his deep state controllers are desperate for Starmer to resign so they can get their stooge Nigel Farage in place as Prime Minister – very unlikely, given that it took Farage eight attempts even to get into Parliament. There isn’t meaningful AI anyway – it’s just the world’s 1% repackaging their usual threats, incompetence and lies under the cover of computers.
They already have their UK stooge in place.
Farage will fight the deep state.
His jungle challenge in Celebrity Get Me Out of Here showed he was not woke to eat bugs.
Farage is nothing but the trojan horse. Also, he accepted Zahawi to his team on Monday which is quite concerning to say the least.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almondbury_Community_School_bullying_incident
A sixteen-year-old youth was shown on video assaulting a fifteen-year-old Syrian refugee boy in a playground attack in Almondbury, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England. The attack took place at Almondbury Community School on 25 October 2018; the headmaster condemned the attack once it had received nationwide media attention.
On 22 July 2021 Tommy Robinson, activist and founder of English Defence League, was found to have libelled the Syrian boy and was ordered to pay £100,000 plus legal costs, which were understood to amount to a further £500,000. An injunction was also granted to stop Robinson from repeating the libel. After breaching that injunction, Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison in October 2024.

The Moslems own Musk and Starmer.
The alleged “libel” was published as an act of journalism. This act of journalism was deemed “libelous” by a single judge; i.e. there was no jury! The judge then issued an injunction which prohibited the act of journalism from being republished. Yaxley-Lennon was sentenced to 18 months in prison for breaching that injunction against journalism – of which he served about 7 months. Consequently, judges acting on their own can operate as a ministry of truth. Until, that is, some US figure decides to promote the supposedly libelous act of journalism.

Google: Hijazi v Yaxley-Lennon 22 July 2021 Jury
https://www.google.com/search?q=Hijazi+v+Yaxley-Lennon+22+July+2021+Jury
AI Overview
The case of Hijazi v Yaxley-Lennon on July 22, 2021, was a libel claim heard by a judge, Mr Justice Nicklin, and did not involve a jury. The trial took place in the High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Media and Communications List.
Key Details
Claimant: Jamal Hijazi, a Syrian refugee who was a teenager at the time of the incident.
Defendant: Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as “Tommy Robinson”.
Outcome: Mr Justice Nicklin ruled in favour of the claimant, Jamal Hijazi.
Damages: Yaxley-Lennon was ordered to pay £100,000 in damages and substantial legal costs to Hijazi for serious harm to his reputation.
Case Summary
The case stemmed from two videos Yaxley-Lennon posted on Facebook in November 2018, in response to a viral video of Hijazi being attacked by another pupil at Almondbury Community School in Huddersfield. Yaxley-Lennon’s videos falsely claimed that Hijazi was the aggressor in other incidents, including claims that he had “beaten a girl black and blue” and “threatened to stab another child”.
At the trial, Yaxley-Lennon’s defence was that his allegations were true, but the judge found he “fell woefully short” of proving this. The judge concluded that Yaxley-Lennon’s “inflammatory language” led to abuse and death threats that forced Hijazi and his family to leave their home and the teenager to abandon his education.
The full judgment is available on the Courts and Tribunals Judiciary website.

https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hijazi-v-Yaxley-Lennon-judgment-220721.pdf
(d) Decision
162. The Defendant’s allegations against the Claimant were very serious and were published widely. The Defendant has admitted that their publication has caused serious harm to the Claimant’s reputation. The consequences to the Claimant have been particularly severe. Although it was media attention on the Viral Video that first propelled the Claimant (and Bailey McLaren) into the glare of publicity, overwhelmingly that coverage (rightly) portrayed the Claimant as the victim in the Playing Field Incident. The Defendant’s contribution to this media frenzy was a deliberate effort to portray the Claimant as being, far from an innocent victim, but in fact a violent aggressor. Worse, the language used in the First and Second Videos was calculated to inflame the situation. As was entirely predictable, the Claimant then became the target of abuse which ultimately led to him and his family having to leave their home, and the Claimant to have to abandon his education. The Defendant is responsible for this harm, some of the scars of which, particularly the impact on the Claimant’s education, are likely last for many years, if not a lifetime.
163. The most significant element of the damages award that I fix will be the need for vindication. This judgment – but more importantly – the award of damages will mark clearly that the Defendant has failed to demonstrate the truth of his allegations. The Defendant took on the burden of proving his allegations to be true. He has failed. In reality, and for the reasons I have explained, his evidence fell woefully short. He has, however, persisted with the serious allegations he originally made, and has even added to them during the proceedings. The Claimant has had to face them in the full glare and publicity of a High Court trial. It is my responsibility to make clear that the Defendant has failed in his defence of truth, to vindicate the Claimant and to award him a sum in damages that represents fair compensation. The sum I award is £100,000.
(2) Injunction
164. The First and Second Videos are no longer available. After his Facebook account was closed, the Defendant has not republished the videos on another platform and no evidence has been presented to the Court at the trial that the Defendant has repeated the same or similar allegations outside his defence of this claim. I was provided with a video recording of the Defendant addressing a rally, at which Gerard Batten, also spoke. The Defendant did not, in that speech, repeat the allegations he had made in the First and Second Videos. On that occasion, the Defendant spoke about his concern about Bailey McLaren, telling the assembled audience:
“Bailey McLaren… a child, a schoolchild, whose life [was] turned upside down over a disagreement in a school playing field.”
165. A date for the hand-down of this judgment was originally fixed for 19 July 2021. Unfortunately, that had to be postponed until today. A draft of this judgment was circulated to the parties earlier today. Based on the evidence at trial, I was not satisfied that the Claimant had demonstrated that the Defendant threatened to re-publish the allegations he made against the Claimant. In response, the Claimant’s solicitors and Counsel have forwarded to me a recording posted on social media by the Defendant, apparently over the weekend of 16-18 July 2021, in which he refers to his intention to publish “the total evidence and proof” showing what the Claimant “was like” and the “reality of what he had done”.
166. In light of that recent evidence, I shall hear further submissions about the issue of whether an injunction should be granted and, if so, in what terms.

But to look away from the the existence of Labour Friends of Israel + Conservative Friends of Israel… to refuse to analyse the unique absurdity of this reality, and steadfastly draw no conclusion. This eyes-wide-shut approach of even the MSM – it won’t last.
Let them take all the rope that they need, I say. It’ll make the end sweeter.
what a fake story they know banning twitter or X wont stop access to fake images of a sexual nature . This is not exactly a new issue.
Indeed through out history through sculpture and painting or drawing such images have been crated. Indian temples show sculpture of sex acts, This continued with the invention of photography and then film and now artificial intelligence. The big difference is in the past it was only the very rich that could access this material and now any one with access to the internet and the inclination can. So it is just another fake reason to collect your biometric data to better control you when they bring in programable money, The UK are testing central bank digital currency this year with plans to start roll out next year.

In a nutshell 🎯
Welcome to hell.
The young like it.
late to the party OD and editor. are you kidding me ??
You pull of a shabby bullshit article to try and lie to the numptys who believe you.
IF YOU have A BLUE TIC AND ARE MONETIZED ON X (like all your mates fake trooofers woke right msm plus mates kit)
YOU HAVE TO PROVIDE DIGITAL ID TO BE PAID AND BE VERIFIED, THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR A LONG TIME
3 YEARS!!!!!
Just in case this is complication for the viewers IF you are getting money from sales = views selling books, courses or links to different pay services.
Like any business, ie ebay, etsy, amazon, or any google services to be paid you must provide ID (digital-utility bill or 2 and in some cases this will include phone call to look at your office and sign. you also have to fill in loads of paperwork.
nO ID NO SERVICE.
Go back 3 years on this site and see me taking the piss out of the troothers woke right msm plus all with authentication blue tic badges which they pay 300 dollars+ for.
whilst they all shill digital id. ALL FAKERS
I NO THIS AS HAVE FRIENDS WHO SELL and have accounts on the above platforms.
JESUS CHRIST KIT ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS ASK YOUR BLUE TICK MATES RATHER Then REGURGITATE MSM PLUS
Someone should set up a parody account for this site.
It’s high time that a few more ‘deepfake’ images were created by Grok:
Etc etc.
It’s just ‘free speech’ isn’t it?
That might be free speech, but I’d call it unnecessary speech. The comment, that is.
But, boys will be boys.
I my opinion what happen inside the Internet doesnt matter. Its all ugly, false and fake anyway whatever you do in there, so why bother?
The moment you take the Internet/the machine/the AI serious you have lost
A tad blunt for the sensibilities of the Off G readership Rhys, but then the two most offensive words in the English language are war and profit.
The obscene criminal acts that emenate from those two words are as filthy as it gets.
Twitter/X is such an obviously controlled environment already. I reckon three quarters of it is bot territory and most of the rest, paid up trolls. The info management is ferocious. I assume everyone by now must have seen “Brave Persian Girl” setting Ayatollah Khamenei’s photo on fire to light her cigarette. Then it turns out that this was filmed in Canada. But then someone offered up a version of it appended “2022” and someone else said this was a fraud – all of this looking like one of those double bluff manoeuvres to guide you back to the original scam.
The biggest psy-op in operation right now is to push so much mind twisting bullshit out there that no-one trusts anything at all on the internet.
Just had a quick scan and the first thing that came up was this:
https://x.com/E_Barcohana/status/2010149874210394612
From one Elizabeth Barcohana whose info blurb goes:
I see so many spunky military wives types. But at least this one is candid enough to admit, “Political Thought Leader”.
I admit you found a nice chick there. But as you say, its depressing to see both sides are ideological bankrupt.
First she presents herself as a hardcore Zionist, next she present the Democrats as the jokes they are. It is not easy: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gg3SkAfXIAAL8-h?format=jpg&name=large .
As a long time resident of the area I can say with confidence a) I’ve never heard of her and b) I’ve never heard of any of the organizations, either. We’re aware of the GOP, of course, because Republicans dominated state politics for decades (both Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan were Californians, Reagan being our state’s governor at one point) but they got so awful that nobody outside “the usual suspects” wants anything to do with them. (No, its not us being radical lefties, its them being incompetent loonies). Although the current administration seems to have a mission to try to degrade life as much as possible in our state realistically all they’re doing is confirming our bias.
Pending. “J” word again.
I wonder if that that particular trigger switch is the particular trigger switch is telling.
another late to the party old gilted.
When gordo or researcher said this 5 years ago!!!!!!!!!
you was one of the ones calling them mental.
Was i indeed? Source?
Was Gordo also Gordon? I miss his poems.
Of course the pantomime Dame Kweir is not going to ban Twatter/X.
The controllers brought in the larger than life LARPER Melon Husk after the Plandemic operation to open Twatter up as a ‘free speech’ platform in order to bring in dissident types frozen out during the Scamdemic. Using controlled oppo big name faces (some also allegedly banned during that time) to act as the flame to attract the moths.
The idea was to get as many as possible onboard, to either sit within their echo chambers or fight amongst themselves over narrative talking points within the prescribed Overton Window. Addict the useless eaters to the platform with the offer of cost free written crack cocaine. All the while hoovering up large amounts of data across a wide spectrum of public opinion for the algorithms to analyse.
Now, after a couple of years of enjoying the free high, the addicts will have to either give up their anonymity or go cold turkey. Same thing is happening with Substack, the real Wild West of the Big Tech written word.
How many addicts will wean themselves off those platforms, or will the majority just accept the loss of anonymity and become further acclimatised to accepting “Papers please” for all things digital and other mundane daily things?
I think we can guess the answer correctly.
I reckon you’re right. I’m afraid the majority will shuffle off into the digital gulag as you surmise. That’s up to them I guess. But there is an upside for the rest of us.
When digital identity is required to use their internet at least the rest of us will, at last, have a very easy way to identify the useless and form communication networks between people we can work with each other to achieve something meaningful.
As yet, I don’t see how they can control how we access the infrastructure that is already in place without shutting it down. We can use different protocols, set up our own nodes and our own networks. Many, such as those behind NOSTR and QORTAL are already working on this.
Onwards and upwards.
Spot on, again.

One needs the latest iphone or android phone with nfc (near field communication) technology for gov.uk to even prove your ‘identity’ online these days. An email address and basic text message more than sufficing in the past.
So the UK is very far from distancing itself from Silicon Valley’s exploits. Just about as far as you can get
AFAIK, any reader device nearby can read NFC-enabled data. Putting the phone in a Faraday cage defeats the purpose of a mobile phone.
Indeed! NFC is not inherently anti-privacy, however its use by apple and google-controlled android phones can be. Our device ecosystems – i.e. Apple and Google – present the (deliberate) security and privacy threats which we must guard against, not NFC or indeed any technology itself, Herein is the challenge and the reward.
We can read them like a book; we can shut them like a book. We might just read books.

Random numbers mean something?
Numbers, letters, words, language, all inventions of human minds.
They have next to nothing to do with Truth.
In fact, they are a barrier to Truth.

Its too easy to put the blame on Politicians. Throw stones and mud on a Politician “You are bad bad” and then run away.
“Fascist propaganda brainwashes people to have no empathy for their victims.”(link)
See he contradict himself here in the role of having no empathy for any Politician.
We live together in a society. We can not all make decisions for what we do outside our own little area yes?
Therefore we select good men (and women) among us, to represent our society on matters who lie outside in the public area.
So these good men (and women) decide it is cheaper and more convenient to make a public water system than we all make own own water well.
And the same with all other areas in the public. You dont wanna connect? All right the City Council let you to make your own water inside your own area ok?
We call this civilisation. We advanced from doing all things ourselves, to cooperate and get more free time to music, ballet, sophisticated meals and dinners, sport, m.m.
Some of Barnett’s opinions might be ok but he disqualifies himself by not giving our good men (and women) in Public Service a chance.
