    So my ****ing idiot neighbour has come into direct contact with somebody who has Covid, but thinks they don't have to self-isolate because even though she knows she has come into direct contact with somebody who has Covid it doesn't count because the app hasn't told her to self-isolate

    And this is why throwing around the brainless buzzword "pingdemic" is dangerous, because it leads to people who can fairly be described as a "****ing idiot" thinking that if the app doesn't tell them to self-isolate they can happily go about their lives spreading Covid around

    Imagine punishing somebody for telling the truth about someone else lying. Ludicrous rules.

    It's almost as if Lindsay Hoyle is a useless doormat who enables the Tories' lying on a consistent basis

    That may be true, but it was Judith Cummins.

    Hoyle is the one who brought in the rule making it okay to lie but not okay to point it out

    I don't think so. Nigel Dodds got booted out for it in 2013: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-23260146
    I think it's quite an old tradition, considering some of the banned words.
    Blackguard and guttersnipe are two good examples, albeit too modern for Rees-Mogg to use.

    No, it's been the rule forever. A ****ing stupid rule, but a rule all the same.

    Hoyle refused a cross-party meeting to discuss the matter back in April, back when Peter Stefanovic's video had a mere 12m views as opposed to the 23m it does now which demonstrated that De Pfeffel routinely lies at PMQs and Hoyle does nothing to stop it

    In case anyone hasn't seen the video that Dawn Butler was referring to:


    Can't call him a liar, though.

    A top US Catholic official, who wanted to deny Joe Biden communion due to his stance on abortion, has resigned after being outed.
    The Pillar, a Catholic media outlet, used data collected by gay dating app Grindr to track it to his phone.
    There's no suggestion that he did anything illegal or anything connected to kids. He went to gay bars.

    I'm happy to see hypocrites abusing their position to push political stances get their comeuppance, but this is very dodgy stuff.
    This **** could get someone hurt or killed if it's used in the wrong way.
    Anonymous data is not anonymous if it reveals your location

    More silencing of an already largely complicit press. Fascist scum.

    On the plus side, their journalists aren't being threatened with 14 years in jail

    Yet...

    It's quite telling that people who never believed a single word either of these said a while back are now willing to believe every utterance :grin:

    Cummings said that he and his mates lied.
    That doesn't contradict my previous belief that he and his mates lied.

    If they lied to "do their job" why do you think they are not doing the same to protect their arses or get some kind of revenge ?
