If the UK news organisations got together and decided to no-platform Donald Trump, we would never have to listen to his offensive nonsense. We wouldn't know that he thinks London is imposing sharia law, that he has solved a thousand wars, climate change is "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world" and telling us "your countries are going to hell."
Obviously I can switch off the TV or go to a sports channel but I'd like my "news" not to be just a mouthpiece for a lunatic. There is real news around the world, we don't need to listen to his insulting remarks about the UN - his hosts. I'm not generally a violent man but I do sometimes just want to smack him in the face.
I'd expect my recommended action would be used by him to tell us how we are against free speech. But we wouldn't know he'd said it, so it wouldn't matter.
Obviously I'd have to no-platform him too, but where's the fun in that?
Would you like me to?
For those of you familiar with YouTube, you'll know that "shorts" are now all the rage. This is the first of of my "short blogs". There'll be another tomorrow.
As our Mayor said, he’s living rent free inside his head.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s pretty obvious he’s in the early stages of dementia but the fawning of the government and the media mean that now I neither watch nor listen or read anything do do with that evil clown. It’s a more peaceful life.
I thought shorts were what some men wore in summer and posties wear all year.
