which respected journalists did they turn away? was it buzzfeed?

2020-02-03 22:33:57 UTC  

"Daily Mirror, HuffPostUK and the Independent were among those asked to leave."

2020-02-03 22:33:59 UTC  

haha

Just start the fecking train, if they didn't want to die they wouldn't put extinction in their name <:smugon:512048583806025739>

@Crafty Maybe don't realise that their extermist views have warp their perception of politics?

2020-02-03 23:49:58 UTC  

yeah, fishhook theory is a running theme in there

2020-02-03 23:50:57 UTC  

That theory is soo flawed I wouldn't know to begin.

2020-02-04 02:02:34 UTC  

Based

2020-02-04 07:18:09 UTC  

I like fish hook theory

2020-02-04 07:18:22 UTC  

Means the furthest right possible is actually centrist <:smugon:512048583806025739>

2020-02-04 07:19:27 UTC  

In that model, the right side of the spectrum in terms of severity is actually a short sine wave that ends as mild as it began. Whereas the left just gets worse the further it goes <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

2020-02-04 08:01:31 UTC  

what is far right, though?

2020-02-04 08:01:48 UTC  

eugenics? ethnic purity?

2020-02-04 08:01:59 UTC  

extreme authoritarianism?

2020-02-04 08:03:14 UTC  

what is far left? extreme authoritarianism, strict social rules (social and ideological purity), breakdown of law, breakdown of individual rights

2020-02-04 08:04:03 UTC  

let's face it, the far left define the far right as anything that isn't far-left

2020-02-04 08:06:57 UTC  

And I agree with that copper wrt prison, just not with the not-being-charged bit

2020-02-04 08:24:09 UTC  

Proof the tories are just as retarded as Labour

2020-02-04 08:48:19 UTC  

Even if those journalists are shite, should they be turned away like that?

2020-02-04 08:49:15 UTC  

We're aware the tories are retarded @Eccles

2020-02-04 08:49:46 UTC  

My position on supporting the tories is selective.

2020-02-04 09:50:04 UTC  

@Eccles you're a dim man

2020-02-04 09:50:27 UTC  

Fascism and communism have antithetical essence

2020-02-04 09:52:25 UTC  

@Hopix dunno, hard question to answer. What I do know tho is that they don't have a right to enter or hear the pm live

2020-02-04 09:53:13 UTC  

the thing that doesn't make me worry is that the full speech is online and freely available - for it to be worrying the gov would want to actually control the stories being written

2020-02-04 09:53:28 UTC  

but they're just denying entry to an area for journos to hear a thing live? don't really care, watch it online like the rest of us plebs
