Yeah I get that, it's a fine balance but like what happened in Birmingham it can be dangerous to stir about "EDL coming" sometimes but on the other hand people need to be warned I guess.

Just the danger is some more cunts see it and think "Oh yeah Im going down with my cans of stella after the job centre".
That seems to be the issue watching the footage from Plymouth the other night . You had the 'patriots" all covered up at the back courageously throwing bricks and slabs and inciting trouble , at the front it looked like the local chavs who thought it would be a good idea to go along and support fellow patriots .
Unfortunately these simpletons were the ones arrested and will carry the stigma of their actions for the foreseeable future

Talking of Timpson's...

It cost me over forty quid to get a few front door keys and a few garage keys cut the other day.

It's just a more polite form of robbery, perhaps. 😄
You can do it yourself. All you have to do is put some gorilla glue in the lock then when it's dry you have a free key!

Can people please stop typing patriots and worse still ‘patriots’ (not having a go at you PL, just the most recent I’m responding to). It’s akin to typing Yaxley-Lennon as if ooh look at me I’m right on because I refused to call him TR. Similar for Alexander Pfeffal, Two Kier Starmer or Beer Korma. It’s nauseating. The same as putting an * in a name as if it’s a dirty word. We proved last week, even the word cunts doesn’t need the asterix, so the only and I do mean only time it is acceptable to do anything like that, is when referring to Craig feckin B*llamy! Thanks 😊

I am worried this may not work as easily as is suggested. 😁

Given the cost of getting keys cut though, I've now put my address on all of the key rings, so that if they're lost someone can just pop them back through the letterbox. Genius, eh.

Don't start me on them. I wanted two keys cut for my daughter for our two front doors. One was £15 each, two for £22, the other £13 each, two for £19. I wanted one of each so assumed we would just pay the higher price of two for £22. No. They were different keys, so it was £28. Robbing gits!

If twitter isn't going to moderate itself then we needs to bring in laws to force it to. Shit like this can't be allowed to continue

This is exactly where there are "bad actors". It's like when Dabo missed a pen and the same with the Euros with Saka and Rashford.

When people dug into it, the vast majority were weird accounts from random countries.

I'm not saying it makes shit like that OK to say or that there weren't horrible pricks from Coventry / England.Just it's far too easy for people to get around the verification and get 100 Twitter / Facebook accounts within a few minutes.

It is strange because it's almost trying to merge those who are patriotic and not a c**t in with the others.

Heard something interesting on The News Agents when listening last night - if Twitter launched in current form now it’s likely mainstream media would just leave it alone like that Truth Social platform.

Are you saying Boosh is a Russian bot?

I saw some footage of a social club where everyone had union jacks and St George cross flags draped around them supporting a local girl doing well in the Olympics and thought it would be funny if some of them got arrested if they had to pass protestors on their way home :)

Twitter was already bad, but it's fucking awful since Musk took over (probably because he shares a lot of these views so is quite happy for them to exist on his platform).
I dont think he's sitting moderating them :)

My understanding was he sacked almost everyone who worked for them when he first purchased, so I imagine there is less human input and that's why it's worse rather than because it reflects his views.

Yeah but I feel like we need some sort of 'malicious online communications' bill.

Make it the responsibility of the platform to moderate accounts and take action against them no matter where they are based with financial penalties for non compliance.

He says he's a "free speech absolutist" and that you should be able to say anything that you like.

That he banned the word cisgender because he doesn't like that his daughter is trans makes him look a hypocrite though.

I know 😅

But it's his platform and his responsibility for setting the rules of what is and isn't acceptable on there and it has got noticeably worse on there despite calls for him to address it.

What are the laws on locking things down if people have no reason to be there, temporarily?

I know you can get dispersal orders but can't the police say if anybody turns up to one of those locations without a valid reason (people going to work etc etc) then they will be told to fuck off / arrested / stopped and searched for drugs and weapons.

Amazing how many famous people have Trans trophy kids.

Hard.ly a "trophy", they fucking hate him
They may well do, but it was a general observation about kids and particularly in Hollywood.

Also, either you or LG has mis-gendered him / her :D

I said they as I am unsure how they refer to themselves and unless English has changed you can still use "they" in a non gender specific way.

Anyone has an issue with that can speak to the OED.

Assume you meant Musk then. I thought you meant the parents hated the kid and was referring to the kid as him.

If one of my kids put out a statement about me like the one his daughter put out about him I'd never show my face in public again.
That Canadian singer is about to take the one with the weird name off him as well, probably why he is so tetchy right now.
