Boris Johnson should be banned from parliament for ‘unprecedented’ lies, rules privileges committee

What I am struggling to understand is why do you think that reading the Daily Mail or the Guardian or the Daily Telegraph means that you believe what is written?
Isn’t scanning the media just a way of updating on the latest news?
Also since the msm works with government to present the acceptable face of its policies, it’s important to turn to discussion blogs etc which are not under censorship/control.

Just my opinion MaizieD and I was answering another posters comment. You obvs don’t like the criticism and are trying out some cancel culture.

Amazing how two virtue signallers manage to comment on something that didn't even happen.

There was no 'snobbery' on this thread.

You mean you are not engaging in cancel culture MaizieD?

You mean you are not engaging in cancel culture MaizieD?

You know, ronib, I found that bit completely meaningless. What 'culture' am I cancelling? A culture of lying?

The problem with the tabloids is that it’s difficult to not see some of their lying headlines if you eg go to a supermarket or to a garage. I can still remember a front page headline saying ‘the Queen supports Brexit’ when I went to our village shop. I couldn’t not see it as I had to walk past it to enter the shop.

MaizieD not at all. The culture of trying to express an opinion without fear of being ridiculed? Isn’t that important on sites like Gnet? To explain - if you agree that the msm is tied to the ruling elites , surely there needs to be alternative spaces for the ordinary folk to say what they think without being shot down?

The thing is ronib that if members believe they are above others then they have no patience with anything they may say and strive always to appear to come out on top.I was simply agreeing with Galaxy that the snobbery around anyone who reads the DM is astounding on this forum.

It’s the culture of cancelling people/ comments you don’t agree on, not cancelling a specific culture btw MaizieD

The "culture" of lying and lying and constantly getting away with it absolutely should be cancelled

Bring back decency, integrity and honesty into our politics. We've had enough of the lies.

Proportional representation please

I'm waiting with interest for the forthcoming Privileges Committee report on the abuse and intimidation suffered by the Committee such that members had to receive extra protection. I hope they name names and that the Met are required to investigate any threats made.
