If Reddit does have a left-wing bias, why do you think that is?

How do you explain a (any) bias in a platform that doesn't editorialise and that anyone can contribute to?

There are plenty of right-wing subreddits. The fact that they're unpopular and filled with nut-jobs maybe says that being 'left-wing' isn't, in fact, a bias but just what human decency looks like when you take away establishment propaganda.

Just a thought.

Seems like a plot line from the comedy W1A which fictitiously followed the inner workings of the BBC.

Brad Lamb at it again!!!

Pie's great fun, I hadn't seen that one. At least we're all agreed on one thing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jXqVGtxFppQ

Could we see her in a hairnet?

I would argue that Jonathan Pie (aka Tom Walker) is far better than Gary on both counts. Unfortunately he doesn't have the same following.

He wasn't trivialising it. He was boosting the words of Joan Salter, holocaust survivor, who has been saying this exact thing for weeks.

also the nazis were originally planning to send jews to camps in madagascar (technically it was a polish plan from 37 and the nazis considered it in 1940 but semantics)

It is pretty crazy, but turning thing off and on really is more helpful than it should be.

I used to work on semiconductor machines that were between $20 and $60 million dollars apiece, and I can't tell you how many times turning off the machine and turning it on fixed some whacky problem.

So I guess we’re held hostage to conservatives if we want reliable information?

The 70.000£ included a fine, but the court basically ruled that the rebuilding costing 1.5 million doesn‘t need a big fine on top.

sometimes these laws are used for ridiculous or corrupt reasons.

honest he did say language rather than acts, very decisive rhetoric is being used to turn people against any sort of refugee or asylum seeker.

Landlording should be illegal. It is abhorrent and repulsive. It should be considered a human rights violation to be a landlord.

Robust means stable or in this case valid. His criticism was correct about the language and tactics the Conservatives use. Therefore it was robust.

He didnt compare the atrocities of WW2 to the immigration bill. He mentioned the 1930s which was before the war began. He compared the language of the bill with that language that was used by the fascists in that time in order to start Germany toward their darkest path. The fact is that the Conservatives have been using the same mass manipulation tactics that helped Hitler climb to power. It doesn't mean that he thinks the Conservatives are as bad as Hitler but we should be concerned that they could manipulate their way into authoritarianism rather than democracy.

There are important lessons to learn from what happened in the 1930s in order to make sure that no country ever finds themselves even stepping close to that path. It didn't start with the Holocaust. It started with manipulative language, awful policies, gaslighting and villainising those who spoke against the Nazi party. This is exactly what the Tories have done since they came into power.

Which website are those pics on. So I can stay away from there.

Why not the London Bridge?

"Who could have predicted that the government's asylum policies and the language around them, so robustly criticised by Gary Lineker in his tweets, would end up reducing the BBC's most popular football show to this?"

lol, robust my arse, it was a mild rebuke/ critique. All the meltdowns have come from the top down at the insistence, that rose tinted glasses don't get knocked off. To add to the hilarious optics of this. it's precisely because Linekar is a high profile celebrity talking to a captive audience of what is often a reactionary fanbase, that the Beeb is pushing harder to curtail the message, which of course magnifies it like the Streisand effect.

Interesting how you go from 'balancing' to trolling.

Such a snowflake

You clearly weren't in the debating club at Eton

Hey you could always set up a protest if you feel like your political opinion is being ignored?

Oh wait. You can't. Because they made it illegal. Because they're fucking Nazis.
