  1. And an American - a real one - said this: "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant." Free Speech is like water. Too much water kills you far quicker than too little, especially when that water is polluted. It becomes like an outbreak of cholera. Not enough clean water reaching the brain, and too much diarrhoea posing as useful organic matter coming out. Before you feel inclined to offer yet another opinion, just consider if it is useful and true. If not, save it for the birds.

  2. Name them. Please do. I'm sure Starmer will be interested which world leaders feel entitled to comment with their fingers crossed behind their back.

  3. English isn't your first language, and your employers are so cheap that they don't even check your work. I hope one day you find a real job.

  4. Who elected Musk? Nobody. And the Earth still moves around the Sun.

  5. If he's worried about that, he should not walk naked in a lightning storm.

  6. You obviously weren't listening.

  7. Not pointing out the Emperor has no clothes helps no-one. Especially when the Emperor is abusing Special K.

  8. Who can blame him? It hasn't been exactly a force for good has it in this context? Somewhat like its current owner. He thinks that there are no consequences for him, at least. But he should acquaint himself with public opinion on social media. There's a limit to the public's patience with anything. If it started to go against social media, especially at a time when the global business cycle is coming to its lowest point, it would not be surprising if governments started increasing regulation, looking to increase competition, or even looking at other models that can't be monopolised or abused so easily. Just a thought.

  9. Of course not. The poor sods are in bot farms where English is a second language, and the pay is at subsistence level. They can't even get the Prime Minister's name right. The Russians and the Chinese are far more professional than the bargain basement PR bot farms.

  10. "Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that’s horsepucky, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it’s nothing. It’s just bibble-babble. It’s like a fart in a wind tunnel, folks." — HARLAN ELLISON
