Seen all your moves

Not aroused status - confirmed

Notes on Brand, not me!

This is a good example of why the right is so successful. Even when they disagree with each other about some things, they're willing to put these differences aside when there's an opportunity to score points against a common enemy. Yet for all its rhetoric about "solidarity", the left usually does the exact opposite, so you see people on Twitter wishing an agonising death on each other because, while they probably agree about damn near everything else, one of them thinks electric cars are a good thing while the other wants to fully pedestrianise every town and city in the UK, or something like that.

The left have solidarity just as long as everyone is in lockstep - it's Prorg logic

There's probably some game theoretic reason why it's evolved like this

Channel 4's boss:

Last year Channel 4 carried out research which showed these youngsters are less tolerant of others' views than their parents or grandparents.

The study found that young people could therefore be said to be 'less liberal' than their elders. The research branded this phenomenon as the 'rise of the Young Illiberal Progressives' or 'Yips'.

'They haven't got the skills to discuss, they haven't got the skills to disagree and commit because they haven't been raised, particularly with being out of colleges to have those kind of debates, to get to the point where you've got people with a difference of opinion to you and you're happy to work alongside that, and that is a really dangerous step change in my view that we are seeing.'

ie. they behave like a typical Channel 4 news anchor

 

[version]

Some idiot chairing the Commons media committee sent letters to Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and Rumble pressuring them to demonetise Brand's content and now his supporters are pointing to it as proof of a conspiracy against him.

Some idiot from the government sent letters to Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and Rumble pressuring them to demonetise Brand's content and now his supporters are pointing to it as proof of a conspiracy against him.

That really is quite astonishingly stupid. It's almost enough to make you suspect it's a genius pro-Brand move on the lowdown.

Calvin Robinson (not a real vicar) won't be appearing on GBNews (not technically a news channel) on 'Tonight with Dan Wootton' (which won't be starring Dan Wootton who has been suspended) because Calvin has also been suspended by the anti-cancel culture broadcaster.

 

[IdleRich]

Robinson is one of the worst. There are many scunmy, vicious talking head types, but only a few whose actual appearance and demeanour make me feel sick.

The list of, ahem, 'celebrities' who've rushed to defend Brand is not limited to Andrew Tate and Elon Musk, by the way. It now includes Alex Jones, Lawrence Fox, Tucker Carlson, Katie Hopkins, George Galloway, Piers 'Morgan' Moron, Roger Stone, Tommy Robinson and Michael Barrymore.

Speaking of Alex Jones:

Alex Jones must pay $1.1 billion of Sandy Hook damages despite bankruptcy - court

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.
