  • For some balance: the UK hate speech laws despite what the daily mail push have been applied relatively evenly with the intent of preventing violence which has been a problem in the UK in several cases where innocents were unfairly targeted then attacked.

    I’m not really one way or the other regarding the BBC decision, I can see it both ways and the footage will be out there regardless of their choice. I personally support the message being free speech and for the public to make their judgement.

    Re the police reviewing it. This can often happen with high profile stuff even if it’s to officially class it as free speech, so no one can say it was ignored and the were discriminated against. However if the police find it to be anything other than free speech based on current events, I would find that highly concerning. He didn’t say death to Jews, or Israel, it was specific to the IDF.











  • I barely use Amazon, it’s just 90% AliExpress stock at huge markup anyway, plus more importantly they’re evil. I do seem to have prime though, which I use to order something maybe every other month when it’s urgent for work. Thing is I’m not signed up for prime, it just activated when I linked an audible account to my business account years ago. I do use audible, to the limit of the credits anyway. So I’ve been kinda torn for ages and can’t bring myself to cancel as my old audible subscription seems to be giving me prime somehow for much less than prime is to sign up.

    I just convince myself I’m playing the system…









  • I bailed because the YTM algorithm is terrible compared to when it was Google music. It had got progressively worse and I really realised how bad it was when I subbed to Deezer for a trial. If they hadn’t trashed Google music by integrating it into YouTube I’d still be paying for premium if it came with both. Can’t imagine I’ll ever pay for it again now.
