US Election

Melania?

 

No sorry

 

Almost a pattern developing there ...

Can you imagine a 'fit and proper' media ownership test along the lines of PL club ownership ?

About 4/5ths of media would be shut down overnight.

 

Don't ever remember food being sanctioned, but firewood certainly was, as it often has bugs in it that can infest other plants and trees in neighbouring states.

 

I think that's where it's going to have to change. Obvs SM platforms can't be entirely responsible for what other people post, but they need to tighten up their community standards and act more swiftly on hate speech etc. It will probably take some legislation along the lines of them being treated in similar ways to publishers, rather than that being the sole responsibility of the person posting.

 

Fish could be a bit of a problem though, for a country with a fleet that exports 80% of it’s catch to Europe.

Not that the followers of the cult of Brexit ever gave a **** about fishermen. All that load of old pollocks was just something else for the hard of thinking to shout about.

 

Fisherman were in favour of Brexit weren’t they? They’re taking our waters.... oooo rrrrr

 

They seem to have voted overwhelmingly in favour of Leave, yes.

Partly, it would seem, because huge French and Spanish trawlers were hoovering up fish stocks just outside U.K. waters. Which they still will be, only now the U.K. government will have no say in how much EU fleets are allowed to catch.

 

That's not how I remember The Sound of Music at all.

 

Hull's Angels, I'm sure Dull and Saxton would agree.

 

Hehe pollocks

 

Maga supporters really are the scum of the earth...

You can't take anything apart from {approved) medication into NZ. Seriously. NOTHING. They come around with bags as you are due to land in Auckland and you have to put every item of food on your person into them. I think they'd give you colonic irrigation if they could.

 

Isn't Australia the same?

I can't believe they do it between states in the US like @brb said.

 

It definitely had Nazis and Nuns, but my recognition of the details is a little blurry

 

Fcked if I'm reading all that!

 

Google it online mate, California used to and may well still do for all I know, monitor the movement of fruit, veg and animals through it's state. It actually applies state to state, but I think California tends to be more vigorous with the rules.

 

I haven't read the whole of the thread yet, so I'll apologise in advance if this had already been said or covered.

This is social media. It's a public forum.
This is regulated. You bloody regulate it! So do I, to some extent.
When you banned Matth, for example, you didn't silence him or take away his freedom of speech.
He moved to other platforms. Trump has a press briefing room in his ****ing house!

Even somewhere like this place has rules that you can't break.
He did it on twatter for years and got away with it because of who he was.
They've banned tons of people before for far, far less. Why should he be immune to it?

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences from what you say.
Post porn on here and you'll get booted. That's not oppression.

 

You triggered him ffs!

 

Good idea, I should apply to be a social media regulator, that will go down well with @Archers Road

I'd bin Starmer off in my first week, actually i'd probably bin every politician off.
