Next up, the department of silly walks...

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has announced she and her department are leaving Elon Musk's X platform.
Explaining her decision in what seemingly will be her last post on X, Nandy said the platform "isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don't want to support it".
"A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate," she wrote.
The culture department becomes the second government department to stop using X after the attorney general's office, while several MPs also left the platform earlier this year over reports its AI tool was being used to create sexualised images.
Nandy said she would continue to use Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Attorney General Lord Hermer defended his decision to ban his office from posting on X last month, telling MPs it "constantly descends to racism and misogyny" and that his department "can do better".
"I can understand why other departments feel they need to be on the pitch engaging with people, but that is not where the attorney general's office needs to be," Lord Hermer told the Justice Committee in June.

I can translate… “we control the message, not you peons!”

Right. And it’s not like those sites aren’t used for creating sexualized images.
Next up, the department of silly walks...
I guess they’re responsible for King Charles’ costumes.
“Our democracy” is code for rule of the elites who claim a Divine Right to dictate to everyone else and censor and cancel others at will.
Their is no “our”.
They have nothing in common with the rest of us.
Sometimes the truth hurts. The leaders in Europe have been inviting in an invasion of people who hate them.
“...our democracy” the continuing misuse of that word as it applies to the US.
Britain doesn’t have one either.
"I'm Leaving Because Musk Allows People To Post Things On X That I Don't Want Other People To See!"
Funny how this kind of thing happens once speech isn’t mandated or censored. To the left, any speech they disagree with is “misinformation”, “hurtful”, “hate speech” etc ad nauseam.
Much like vampires, they can not handle sunlight.
I love how misinformation and disinformation are bandied about but nothing is actually provided as a rebuttal to the supposed mis/disinformation.
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.” - George Orwell, 1984
Good riddance to bad rubbish

She posted it on X? Okay. Should we believe it? 🤔
No. This is the BBC, known for pedo. Xitter cracked down on that and now commenters can blast pedos as the sick bastids they are.
THAT is why BBC/Brits are leaving Xitter.
“constantly descends to racism and misogyny”
So bring your enlightened point of view to the discussion and win the day.
Let me guess it’s not really racism or misogyny, it’s just things they don’t like and don’t know how to spin it.
Too much hetero and not enough GLBTQ++ so ze is taking her ball gags and sphincter stretchers home.
