@CWeston_Indo Charlie, you’re skewing the perception of this data by selectivity. There are 11 metrics on the EU list. IRL tops in 3. Denmark tops in 5 and ‘beats’ IRL in 2 more. Please try to be accurate instead of pandering to populism.
@RasmusJarlov Not quite the “England of the North”, Rasmus. The UK still holds a sizeable chunk of my country, Ireland, which they first colonised in 1169.
@thecatwhochats@JohnOBrennan2 Absolutely, Seamus. The SoMe companies claim they’re “only platforms”. Like feck they are. They’re publishers who should be held to account under libel laws, just like newspapers and broadcasters.
