She was selected purely for political and ideological reasons. She should never have been anywhere near the running for the job of Attorney General, let alone Prime Minister, and now we're seeing that more clearly. We see it right through this field of candidates, to be quite honest. Tax dodgers, bluffers, one actual professional con man, and a range of people who'd be out of their depth running a coffee morning, every one of them arguing about who will cut tax more and who hates trans people more and not a word about the fact that millions of us will struggle to heat our homes this winter. On that note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the donor, a not so recently deceassed yorkshire terrier? i’m not sctually sure. He insists its not a wig but not entirely natural. My guess either a partial transplant, or regrowth.

The government insist they should amend the motion - but wording it as the government wants gets Tory MPs off the hook, since it's no longer about Johnson's leadership but about the Tory party remaining in power. I'm not sure there's much more Labour can do, except raise a court case and that would take so long as to render the whole thing moot. Again, unwritten constitution. There's nobody to appeal to, no rules to cite. The government can just make it up as they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Can everyone get some news and political discourse from somewhere other than twitter? It takes ages to load and if you aren't on twitter you can only view the first few posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to agree that maybe we should ban Twitter posts for the reasons you described but also it just turns this place into a minor Twitter feed. I can go to Twitter if I want to see Twitter If we don’t ban it, can we maybe just make links appear rather than the content. I think right now it leads to a lot of lazy posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's a pain to load for me too, but I always figured that's cuz my ipad is ancient and my laptop is pretty old now too. This is part of why I try to just quote and link to an actual article.

Derfel Cadarn Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Sorry just read earlier posts re twitter. Assumes twitter inbeda were wuicker as they let you see at a glance without having to click on anything. If the general consensus is to just post the link then fair enough. I almost always post on my phone, and don’t have time to try and type lengthy posts just to put a source article into my own words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I don’t mind if the content is readable without clicking, just embedded here. But clicking takes me to a browser window that tries to get me to download the app, then briefly lets me read the thread, then just forces you to log in or sign up.

Kalbear Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 In general I like embedding because it allows images on the forum and it also gives credit where it's due. Happy to comply with what this specific thread wants though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mormont Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 There isn't going to be a separate rule for this thread - that's too much bother to police. People in this thread will have to cope. As for embedding of tweets, that's a software issue: not sure what if anything can be done, ask Ran in the Help section. But it is possible to post a tweet as a link, using the link feature, like so: https://twitter.com/soapachu/status/1546568803554934785 or like so.
