@EwanBen I think thats relatively rare - the point is more that those types shouldnt feel welcome in British society and should self-deport really. Also just very strange why they even want to live here (well obviously its because of superior standard of living but they cant admit that)
@AlexBalexCalexD@chuckchickenses@Nogooooodnick@DaveNumber7 I suppose if there were heavy pay barriers to short form content it might be different. But if all content were free tiktok would still wipe the floor with everything. It is still actually quite easy to read long form content for free - libraries, unpaywalled periodicals
@chuckchickenses@Nogooooodnick@DaveNumber7 Unfortunately TikTok is popular because people want it. You actually can read a number of stories articles for free per month with a Google account. No one does though. You can read periodicals for free in most libraries.
@TomFranklin@HouseofCommons Yeah maybe they should run Parliament out of an office on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, would be much more efficient. Doesnt history and gravity count for anything?
@littlesusiehat@HouseofCommons Why are people so insistent on trying to stamp out every bit on history and joy in public life. It was through those same lobbies that our forebears divided on Home Rule, on the Parliament Act on (many) Representation of the People Acts. Its good for MPs to feel that history.
@chuckchickenses@Nogooooodnick@DaveNumber7 Do you unironically believe that if it were free all the kids scrolling tiktok would be reading the Economist or Past & Present instead
@CRISGOATIANO@The_Peach03 Free speech indeed - but why would you choose to live somewhere whose national values are clearly so incompatible with yours.
@CRISGOATIANO@The_Peach03 There are millions, and they are all stupid hypocrites who would never live anywhere outside the west despite having contempt for its values.
You can go right now, theyre always looking out for immigrant construction workers. Or if Saudi is not available, try Syria.
@CRISGOATIANO@The_Peach03 I mean yes why would you live in a liberal democracy if you dont like liberal democratic values. I think Saudi Arabia would be more his speed.
@tc1415 Very silly tweet - ironically imbued by the same reverential proceduralism you (rightly) criticised. Sometimes people think other people are wrong. Fascinating, whatever.
@Current93VEVO@Judeemma@baranskocracy I wouldnt include either (though of the two I'd be more likely to include romansch) - that still leaves German, Italian, French and indeed English for four.
