- Twitter’s ban of QAnon conspiracy theory for vague ‘offline harm’ link only makes them stronger, & the censorship won’t stop there
Twitter's threat to shadowban accounts and hashtags linked to the pro-Trump ‘QAnon’ psy-op has merely validated followers’ persecution complex and brought them attention - while putting others who buck the establishment on notice. - Red Bull is right: Standing up to racism doesn’t mean you have to pander to the woke mobThe CEOs who leaked a “racist” map used at an internal Red Bull presentation have been fired. Quite right, too. While the map was wrong, people don’t want woke politics forced down their throat.
- Why the calls to ban TikTok? China is so heavily invested in UK already it could access our private data whenever it wantsThe call from ex-Tory leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith to ban video-sharing platform TikTok over Chinese access to private data is more to do with pleasing Donald Trump than any new concerns with complex UK-China ties.

Britain should be relieved it’s no longer part of this sorry mess.
- Galloway: UK Parliament’s Russia report is nothing but gossip, it doesn't even pass the ‘highly likely’ test of Salisbury fameThe British Parliament’s Russia report gives no examples of interference by Moscow in UK politics. That alone should reduce it to the risible, but there is much more.
