That ignores the fact that the IDF is one of the combatant parties and therefore obviously biased and obviously has an interest in distorting the truth in their favor. But don’t worry, there is a remedy. Allow the world’s news media to send their own journalists into Gaza to report independently of both Israel and Hamas on what is happening in Gaza. Oh…. But Israel won’t permit that either.

Having access to is one thing. Being fed propaganda and misinformation by algorithms designed to target people’s emotions and emotional engagement is something else. I do feel it important to look at the reality of how the internet and social media is being used to manipulate people, it’s not negativity to do so.

In this thread I refer to Defendant Trump’. This, in context of his criminal trial is the correct form of address. I do not engage in calling him or his supporters names. The term ‘Trump Supporter’ hits that happy coincidence of both politely correct and sufficiently derogatory to require no name calling at all.

That’s a strange take on my view. The UK has its borders back (although loss of control over the borders was always a myth) and the Government of over 14 years that boasts of getting those borders back has promptly lost all control of the borders. And not just immigration. While you are being distracted by small boats, the UK has near zero customs controls at the southern ports, smugglers are having a field day and the exchequer is missing out on millions in duty owed. It’s chaos. And it’s all down to the failure of this 14 year long Tory tenure.

The maximum fine under the law is $1000 per infraction of the gag order. The only other option is jail of up to 30 days per infraction. If the Judge had gone for the jail option Defendant Trump would appeal and almost certainly win. The judge has wisely and fairly issued fines first + a warning that any further infringement will be rewarded with jail time. There is another hearing due to address other infractions by the Defendant Trump, but these occurred before the Judge issued his warning of jail. These too will be rewarded with fines. …… There is however a far more serious risk to Defendant Trump. The Defendant is out on pre-trial release, in several jurisdictions and under Federal cases. Defiance of any court gag order might very well be an infringement of the conditions under which he is on pretrial release. ….. Defendant Trump had said it would be a privilege to be put in prison, it looks like the prison door is wide open for him to stroll right in at his leisure.
