He’s allowed post because he drums up controversy.
This is the person who makes creepy sexualised comments about Vanessa and her baking (one of the regular posts I miss about the old Broadsheet along with Harry’s Dublin and a few others), defended Jimmy SaviLLe because he did a few charity walks and instructed Bonny Prince Andrew on the best predation methods and cheerleads the scion of the wife beating Johnson family while posting anti Irish racism while pretending to be English.
Mostly I’d not really care but he displays a clear pattern that is concerning in that he will start with some rather mild attempts to rile people up, then when he gets no traction switch to more outrageous comments like those about Vanessa’s cooking then goes full on abusive if challenged. We already saw one poster last night threaten another poster about real life engagements and it took some time for it to be addressed by the site.
Racist (even anti English racism as his caricature is based on the worst England has to offer), sexist, homophobic, transphobic, makes fun of the dead, dying and disabled and thinks his fantastical posts about a life less ordinary wind people up. The only way they might annoy people is in the implication of their repetitiveness that we are all at least as dumb as he is to fall for them. That’s the thing about stupid people, they are too stupid to understand that others might be brighter than them,
But anyway, his presence got the comment above so well done Bodger, you’re hate filled little paedo pal is working out as expected, huzzah. ™

Prof Mark Crispin Miller gives a good synopsis of the past two years in a western context as the mass media has been used as a tool to mislead, distract and polarise the general public. He stresses the urgent need of greater awareness among the public about the nature of the media they consume and ability to recognise propaganda when they see it, as really the only effective way to counter propaganda.
‘Whereas, in the “democratic” West, propaganda used to be most evident as an intensive episodic practice, flaring up in wartime, in political campaigns and following immense state crimes .. the propaganda blasting all of us non-stop today is no longer national, or merely multinational, but global; and the former intermittency of those most awful crises, with decades going by between one trauma and the next, has given way to a mind-numbing strategy of serial bombardment — one cataclysmic fuss after another (with, sometimes, one within another), as under openly totalitarian rule…”
Any thoughts?
(PS: comments like “Crispin Miller is a @X!!! Here’s a ‘fact-checker’ article” or “Try living in China!” would only underscore the points he makes, so I’m sure no one will fall foul of that, right?)
Mad

It’s laughable that people think were on the verge of extinction every year. How has mankind survived this long with the annual apocalypse is anyone’s guess :)
Nigel
This is awful, awful stuff. It’s not an examination of propaganda, it’s a vehicle for counter-propaganda.
‘(despite the scientific fact that lockdowns do more harm than good)’
‘(despite the scientific fact that neither practice “slows the spread” of any respiratory virus)’
‘to make us less afraid of COVID-19, it only made us more afraid of one another’
*citations needed.
‘had already fiercely propagated since the rise of Donald Trump;’
Blaming media for the red/blue division in the US (not saying they didn’t contribute, but it was mostly by pretending the Republicans were reasonable and honest) AND tracing its rise to Trump is just bad and wrong.
‘crimes pointedly denied throughout the media’
Anti BLM, too, what a surprise. I saw no media that denied there was violence at BLM protests. How can anyone claim to be an expert on propaganda and ignore the lies and denials AND the violence of the police?
He also complains that BLM protesters didn’t wear masks, when the vast majority of protests were pre-covid. Isn’t that special? Compaining that the media treated a social justice movement differently from a movement that just wanted government to pretend the pandemic wasn’t happening is also a bit rich.
The spin on the Jan 6th riot is decidedly pro-Republican.
‘ Joe Biden’s inexplicable election “victory.”’
You know how to pick ’em.
‘will surely give way to some other inescapable campaign’
He bravely predicts that time will pass and other things will happen. Congratulations, he’s acheived the insight of a teenager becoming aware of the world around them.
‘a heightened “climate crisis,” necessitating further lockdowns’
This is a talking point that’s going round, I’ve yet to see how it’s supposed to work, but more importantly why is someone who is supposed to be critiquing propaganda repeating so many talking points?
‘which has arguably killed or injured millions through the mass injection program’
Not one of his scientific facts, then?
He’s blaming media for literally everything that’s happening in the world? Not that its boosting some stories, obscuring oithers, sensationalising, reporting innacurately – all charges that can be leveled at media, but that it is actually CAUSING them? You realise that this represents and actual political position? It’s a partisan political talking point.
Meanwhile, people actually interested in the spread of lies, disinformation and propaganda might want to check out this sad case study of a morally disgusting example, and bear in mind that the same actors have been at work through every crisis the prof complains about but is curiously absent from his analysys:
Thanks Nigel, you’re entitled to your opinion. From my point of view though, I see you as someone who demonstrates a particularly strong susceptibility to media propaganda coupled with an authoritarian disposition.
I could invest time in picking apart your predictable response which consists of misinterpretation, strawmans and misdirection but it would be a fool’s errand. In a way, your comment is a nice addendum to Crispin Miller’s article – it reads as a kind of “Exhibit A”, or a “cautionary tale” of what happens to the mindset of a person consumed by media propaganda but lacking in the self-awareness to see it, so thanks again for that.
Nigel
That was not media analysis, that was a series of well-worn partisan talking points put together in a particular order without even bothering to strain for the thinnest sheen of academic credibility. You can tell by the way he didn’t actually analyse any media.
Guess you weren’t really all that interested in ‘any thoughts’ after all.
Kin
You must be deluded blue red agenda has been pushed by the democrats since trump was elected
There were no wars started under trump no humiliation of the US military under trump (Kabul)
He was right about China he was right about Iran the Abraham accords were brilliant
The border policy of bidens is back to cages for kids under Obama
Trump has been vilified but the world was a far safe place with less racist murders or mass shootings under trump
And certainly no 8 foot fence around the seat of power capital hill
Biden is a war mongerer and trumps name is dirt thanks to the non stop barrage of propaganda
As the year goes on American people will be less safe and it’s always the other guy with sleepy joe
He is Nigel’s back stop
The biggest mistake trump made was not signing an executive order to drain the Washington swamp who are defiantly in power and bringing this world to a WW3
Nigel
Wow. You’ve been hitting some propaganda sites pretty hard there, Kin, might want to ease back.
‘blue red agenda has been pushed by the democrats’
Thsi is meaningless. It’s gibberish. What it may be referring to is Democrats being opposed to Republican policies, which is apparently very divisive of the Democrats, who should be entirely supportive of Republican policies. Well, some of them are, that’s why Biden can’t get stuff done, apparently, so yay them.
‘no humiliation of the US military under trump’
Trump escalated bombings and dronings, but ended reporting and accountability. Was the betrayal of the Kurds not a humiliation for the US military? He also launched a couple of disastrous special ops that ended in military and covilian deaths, it’s a bit weird there wasn’t more about them or the bombings in the anti-Trump media.
Who cares if the US military gets humiliated anyway?
‘He was right about China’
That climate change is a Chinese hoax?
‘he was right about Iran the Abraham accords were brilliant’
He let North Korea and Iran advance nuclear programmes kept in check under Obama – but he was right, apparently.
‘The border policy of bidens is back to cages for kids under Obama’
US border policy is still TERRIBLE but under Biden hundreds of children sperated from their families under Trump have been reunited.
‘with less racist murders or mass shootings under trump’
‘And certainly no 8 foot fence around the seat of power capital hill’
Trump surrounded the Capitol with fences and barriers during the BLM protests.
‘He is Nigel’s back stop’
I have no idea what this means.
‘Biden is a war mongerer’
Biden hasn’t started any wars. Biden ended the war in Afghanistan.

Ref Farmer’s Journal “Ireland steps toward BVD-free status”, BVD is Bovine Viral Diarrhoea for those wondering. Control of BVD is based on four equally important aspects, maybe we could learn something from it:
1. Elimination of Persistently Infected (PI) – Those PI’s found under diagnosis should be isolated
2. Biosecurity – Maintaining biosecurity involves avoiding introduction of animals into the herd and/or implementing strict isolation / quarantine of introductions until proven negative
3. Monitoring – This varies depending on the nature and risk status of your herd
4. Vaccination – To eliminate PI’s is not sufficient alone to keep out infection and prevent it from continuing to spread. This is best achieved by the appropriate use of a BVD vaccine.

The Irish Potato Federation has announced that the four-day event taking place in Dublin’s RDS will feature more than 60 speakers and is set to be attended by up to 1,000 delegates from over 60 countries.

Not much about the talks about Iranian nuclear deal
Seems to be as dead in the water as it was before
Trump was dead right and it’s becoming more and more apparent everything else he did or tried to do had more success than Biden and more since
You see Iran has been sanctioned for decades up to its necks and they are used to it so they do not give a tin teaspoon about anything but getting their own way
The biggest failure of trumps administration was he underestimated the swamp
The swamp that he referred to was Washington and it’s firmly in control
We are now on the edge of WW3 mainly down to the Biden administration
Biden can and refuses to bring in a referendum to remove the second amendment and reword it
Right to bear arms against foreign power in the case of invasion

Trump was right to end the Iranian deal you’re complaining was ended? Have you ever tried jumping up on a horse and riding off in all directions? Because you could probably manage it.

Had a bit of a late one last night so this morning’s update comes to you from the leaba.
Enjoyed watching the Special One lift his latest trophy in the company of some mad soccer fans in a raucous local bar till the wee small hours. Cracking game.
Before that the fragrant Lady TenPin and I attended a barbecue and dined on succulent lamb and crispy pork chops.
Sank a few ice-cold German pilsners.
Funnily enough the fisticuffs at Dublin airport was a topic of conversation even here as the clip of yer man pogoing on another fella’s head has gone viral.
Extraordinary that, as the Irish Daily Mail reports, it took the doughnut-munchers forty minutes to waddle their way to the scene.
Third World stuff.
They’d have been quicker calling in the SAS.

Odd you mentioned your local Cork holiday destination yesterday and the lack of wi-fi / phone signal. It must be quite a thrill for you to leave Blackpool, Cork Bedsit Central to get ‘away’ there for the odd day trip. The stench off the bus seat after you get off (maybe literally even) must be overpowering. Doubtless you’re under surveillance from the time you arrive there – weighty lone male traveller at a children-orientated holiday destination would be frowned upon.
They call them Crispy pork scratchings by the way.

remote working has made it worse

Sorry, bisted.
Had a bit of a late one last night so this morning’s update comes to you from the leaba.
Enjoyed watching the Special One lift his latest trophy in the company of some mad soccer fans in a raucous local bar till the wee small hours. Cracking game.
Before that the fragrant Lady TenPin and I attended a barbecue and dined on succulent lamb and crispy pork chops.
Sank a few ice-cold German pilsners.
Funnily enough the fisticuffs at Dublin airport was a topic of conversation even here as the clip of yer man pogoing on another fella’s head has gone viral.
Extraordinary that, as the Irish Daily Mail reports, it took the doughnut-munchers forty minutes to waddle their way to the scene.
Third World stuff.
They’d have been quicker calling in the SAS.
Odd you mentioned your local Cork holiday destination yesterday and the lack of wi-fi / phone signal. It must be quite a thrill for you to leave Blackpool, Cork Bedsit Central to get ‘away’ there for the odd day trip. The stench off the bus seat after you get off (maybe literally even) must be overpowering. Doubtless you’re under surveillance from the time you arrive there – weighty lone male traveller at a children-orientated holiday destination would be frowned upon.
They call them Crispy pork scratchings by the way.
Fact is the infrastructure is so bad
remote working has made it worse
Since the pandemic arrived even the radio signals have suffered
As for mobiles and internet it’s like the dark ages
and we’ve no shoes and burn turf…
i think i’ve cracked it, three-tit – she has trimethylaminuria, am i right?

That report should come with a health warning..for the reader. Say what you like about the I.T., but Colm Keena is an excellent journalist.
IT has good journalist but the editorial/business structure is such nonsense… case in point… their property-porn articles

Even the Examiner is guilty of this too… very frustrating…
Started the day off with a mushroom omelette – breakfast of champignons.
Puntastic !™
so she has a mushroom-like body odour? she might be menopausal then.
wayne rooney has nothing on you pal.
*Puke*
It gets worse
And maybe revenue needs to audit anyone to do with him
Evidently he had his money well hidden

Reminds me of the joke about the two pensioners going at hammer and tongues when they decide to try a bit of the old soixante-neuf.
The old feller pipes up ” By jove, that’s great news about the sinking of the Bismarck – it’ll set Mr Hitler’s war effort back years ”
” What are you on about you doddery old fool ” mumbled his missus through a mouthful of meat and two veg.
” I’m just reading this bit of newspaper stuck in your arse crack ” he replies.
Suit yourselves.
Dublin.
Never not at it.
The age of the kids joining in.
Feral.
