X Twitter - out to lunch?
I read X in my Firefox Developer browser daily. I can also login and read it in Opera. However, I delete the X cookie on Firefox, it won't let me log back in with Firefox for a couple of days. I then switch to Opera, which still has the cookie. I also get reference to X support, but I've never used it. I also read somewhere that deleting all cookies and cleaning the cache could enable immediate re-login, but doesn't work for me. It's kinda like the key to not divorcing: stay married. That is, don't logout. Preserve that X cookie! -

Calls for a New Election Surge Amidst Labour's Challenges
I can't see the Tories going in to an alliance with Farage and Reform. It would make sense, but I think the Tories want unadulterated power. There's no way the Lib Dems and Greens would join an alliance with the Right! -

The Decline of Free Speech: How the UK Became a Third-Class Nation
Really? No! How on earth you can suggest that premise can be logically derived from my previous comments is beyond me! To state the blindingly obvious, it does not need 100% of individuals to act upon "hurty words" to 'Kill Farage', it only requires one. I imagine that it is impossible to prove categorically that a statement was the direct cause of an event, but if professional psychologists and/or psychiatrists deemed it a contributing factor in the hypothetical example cited above, no doubt Farage's family and friends would derive great comfort from the petitioner stating, "I didn't mean that my words should be taken literally". If you were the petitioner, would you still deny any responsibility and accountability for the event? Wrong about what precisely? Wrt Connolly, I stated previously that I had mixed emotions about her sentence. On the one hand, 31 months seems excessive for a first offence. However, if imposing such a sentence is meant to be a deterrent, it has arguably served that purpose. At the other end of the scale, would a £100 fine and/or 60 hours community service have acted as much of a deterrent to Connolly and others? Doubtful. These comments apply equally to the petitioner calling for Farage's execution. In short, I don't know/ am undecided about what a suitable sentence should be. However, I am certainly not going to lose any sleep over the plight of a self-professed racist. As an aside, you appear to be in favour of absolute free speech and that the speakers/ writers cannot be held responsible for the actions of others. Would you therefore agree those 'mad mullahs', who openly use the more violent verses of the Qur'an, to stir up hatred are guilty of nothing more than spouting 'hurty words' and should bear no responsibility or accountability for any subsequent events? -
