'Politics for all' twitter account is run by a brexit supporting (and presumably anti-lockdown) 18 year old Tory.

 I did wonder, because it gets big licks on here as (apparently) a bastion of truth, while all other tweets from scientists and various 'experts' are roundly ridiculed.

It did pass through my head that maybe these tweets from the 18 year old were being posted on here merely as confirmation bias, but then I realised that this was impossible on P&B. Could never happen. 

 

 

My particular favourite was when he had everyone retweeting that there was no more home testing kits left

Oaaaffft.
 

To put that in context, my mates mum broke her wrist last week which after an xray found out needed an operation, before the operation she was given a covid test and told to self isolate until the results came back at which point they would do the operation
She was told at A&E that if she had required urgent surgery and did actually test positive , then she would have been kept on the covid ward for isolation purposes even if asymptotic. In a way it does all count as it’sa bed on a ward getting taken up
But still , vaccines = cigars

We know this, m9. Thankfully people can analyse the summarised tweets from other actual news items for themselves.

Pissed off that the Doune the rabbit hole music festival has been cancelled due to the uncertainty. Even though it was scheduled for after August 9th, the council couldn't/wouldnt Grant the licence.

Tbf, it’s only really Elixir who posts that stuff. He’s a bit weird.  It is normally “facebook liked” by the rest of the Main Event though

That’s not surprising though as the “Main Event” are obviously all right wing incels. T-I-G is a climate change denier who told us he was voting Tory, virginton hates kids/parents/teachers  and Marshy is an off the chart space cadet. 

There was a time I thought you could discuss issues on this thread and argue sensibly with their points, but anything sensible is just ignored before the next days “outrage”.   The reality is that (like Lozza Fox, Katie Hopkins and their ilk) it is best just to point and laugh at them.

I can’t be the only one who finds the middle-aged men on here’s apparent obsession with the sex-lives of younger posters to be slightly creepy. ‘Incel’ this and ‘virgin’ that. Disconcerting.

I totally stand by the incel description though.

To paraphrase Leo Rosten on WC Fields "anyone who hates kids, parents, and teachers can't be all bad"

I touched on this the other day. Covid has highlighted that there is definitely an issue with inadequate infection control in our hospitals and care homes.

Politics for All uses baiting headlines in their tweet, but they almost always provide a link to whatever their headline refers to (often an inews or Telegraph article) - so no biggie.

Lumpimg folk who challenge or question the government on these things in with Hopkins and Fox is incredibly and deliberately disingenuous - and it’s actually a Tory wet dream to get folk dividing and turning on each other in such a way as you seem to be doing. It’s only people’s civil liberties at stake here of course.

Everything stats wise is going in the right direction, and it’s quite something to see how annoyed people get at this because they’ve been shown to be consistently wrong during this whole carry on.

Nobody is annoyed at things getting better - point to a single post by anyone on here suggesting that.  

Lumping the Main players in its Lozza and Hopkins isn’t disingenuous at all (unless you haven’t read their posts).

You walk in, spend a while looking around the room and then ask if they sell shoes in half sizes.
