Online echo chambers are normalising and allowing extremist views to go viral unchallenged. These views are spread as the cheap thrill of racking up Facebook likes drives behaviour and reinforces a binary worldview. Some people are being groomed unwittingly as unacceptable language is treated as the norm. Others have a more sinister motive.

It’s not censorship. Our newspapers and broadcasters are held to high standards, without censorship, social media publishers should be held to similar standards.

imagine posting this!

Is Lucy Powell a Towel or a Pole Powell?

The TV interview with the alleged Salisbury poisoners is quite something. The short version is they came on holiday to “see the 132m spire”, it was too snowy so they went back to London, they went back to Salisbury the next day but it was still snowy so they decided to go back to Moscow.

well obv it's a much bigger draw than York Minster or Lincoln Cathedral if you are an in-spired type of church spotter!

calzino, Thursday, 13 September 2018 11:02 (five years ago) link

bloody hell, Salisbury Cathedral is actually a big bastard!

calzino, Thursday, 13 September 2018 11:04 (five years ago) link

it was still snowy so they decided to go back to Moscow.

This is always how I act on holidays as well. 'Ugh, still bad weather, let's go home'

Frederik B, Thursday, 13 September 2018 11:08 (five years ago) link

what if this is all a plot by the salisbury tourist board to increase footfall to the cathedral

all the most beautiful and tallest church spires are all in continental Europe. They had to take drastic action!

brb gonna bombard the visitwiltshire phone line with agitated questions about why they're working with the russian secret services

'Ugh, still bad weather, let's go home'

Ward Fowler, Thursday, 13 September 2018 11:21 (five years ago) link

'the weather sucks, let's just do a murder with some nerve agent and then call it a day'

I don't really know what to think about this until I've heard Alex Salmond's take on RT.

The road from Salisbury to Stonehenge was indeed blocked by snow on 3 and 4 March. That much of their story is indeed true, despite the mocking. Two failed attempts to get to Stonehenge blocked by snow is perfectly feasible.https://t.co/WB4hu5oESC

was there a point when Murray went full foil helmet or has he always been like that and i've only noticed this year?

he seems like a very skeptical type who's gone full Galloway in no time at all! Maybe he has been poisoned by some brainwashing nerve agent.

calzino, Thursday, 13 September 2018 12:24 (five years ago) link

he hasn't let that "look! they're in exactly the same place at exactly the same time!" self-clown slow him down at all

He's often not bad at highlighting gaps in official information - the way he fills those gaps with speculation is usually hilarious, though. As with David Shayler, i suspect being that close to some actual conspiracies has had an unfortunate effect on his ability to weigh up the probability of other ones.

and i've read enough John Le Carre to perma-wonder which side he's actually performing for

every day there's a whining choad (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 13 September 2018 12:34 (five years ago) link

you start thinking there can't be any conspiracies, when the majority of people disseminating them are all clowns and fules!

calzino, Thursday, 13 September 2018 12:42 (five years ago) link

exactly, it's Tweets within Tweets

tbfttl he did uncover a lot of important stuff both in Uzbekistan and on Alisher Usmanov, though I guess nobody particularly caring when he was right probably did not help.

I bet all those folks left homeless in parts of the Caribbean without a passport or nationality will be eternally grateful for the protection Brexit has afforded them from extremist parties.

Plainly they are not being entirely open. Most likely interpretation of that is that they are a gay couple - not a good thing to admit in Russia, sadly - and that they are involved in the dodgy end of the bodybuilding supplements trade.

It occurred to me that about two thirds of my holidays are roughly as suspicious and I should extend some sympathy in that regard.

‘What were you doing in Siberia in 2016?’
‘Uh, I wanted to see Tomsk’s famous 19th century wooden houses’
‘And you visited Switzerland for eight hours a few years ago?’
‘There was a sale on fancy jackets at a shopping mall’
