When they kicked Katie Hopkins off Twitter, they poked a hornet's nest. Tommy Robinson was on today posting that they're starting a publicity campaign to make Parler the home of all patriots. In the last couple of days, he's gained 30,000 followers. Remember, he had a million followers on Twitter and was getting more views than any other politician. He posted this photo with the caption "Owen Jones watching Brits sign up to Parler"

KTH now at 145,000 followers.

Well, it's been 6 weeks, and we're only half-way there! I'll keep you updated with progress in case you forget.
On the contrary , my calculations say otherwise. . The only reliable figure is the confirmed infection rate. ..which the USA figure is about 2.5M. . The next important figure is the concluded rate. That means when medical intervention is finished. The GLOBAL figure is that the death rate for this is 9% .. down from the 11% of a month ago.
Now the USA figures for concluded are bizzare.. in particular look at Michigan,where they assume that if someone survived 2 weeks they are cured .
US medical treatment is at least on a par with other countries, but not significantly better.. so 5% of the 2.5M are on my probable fatality list.
Rather than forget, I actually posted on 11th June #79426, the updated figures.

Do you think you and all your Parler patriotic mates would be willing to do mankind a massive favor. Many scientists believe that due to global warming and sea levels rising we only have about 100 years left on earth before the human race is in dire straights.

If the world powers all get together and build a massive space rocket would you, Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins and all the rest of the charming people that populate sites like Parler be the first people on it so that when you land on a new planet you could get it all set up for when the rest of us join you.

People like Tommy and Katie being such fine folk I am sure they would do a tremendous job of getting everything ready for the mass exodus from Earth.

Perhaps you could call the new planet Golgafrincham, it has a nice ring to it, and don't worry if we are a little late joining you there, the longer we take to get there the more time you have to get things just the way you like them.

Kudos to Starmer, he’s booted Wrong Daily out his shadow cabinet for Jew Hate. Would anyone care to estimate how long it will be before the screeching voices start with, “it’s only because she’s female” ?

Of course the yellow streak of pi$$ can’t take this sort of action with the likes of Jenrick, because he has lost all moral authority through backing Cummings’s eyesight test.

I'm only quoting TR. I didn't express my opinion on whether I think they're patriots or not.

Also, I never said I'm a supporter of TR. I've been to one of his rallies, but I was on the other side with a placard shouting at his guys, for which I got £25 and a good laugh, plus my transport there and back - much more entertaining than sitting at a computer getting enraged. What have you done for the cause?

What does everyone think of this?:

No doubt about is, as far as the public are concerned, lockdown is over, thanks to the government's mishandling of the phasing down of restrictions.

There's major incidents being declared in multiple places now due to huge crowds gathering packed together on beaches etc, the latest being Bournemouth.

Bet they aren't black either, they don't need to sunbathe.

What's the Trumpian obsession with follower and crowd numbers - I figure a 5% of the population are hardcore conspiracy theory loons/Ukippers , even then the racist Trump wannabes you're in thrall off are still a long way short off that number.

I'm hot, it's still 34.5c outside and it was even hotter earlier. See I was right about people going crazy when it warms up, Bournemouth today and it could be Bognor tomorrow.

Yes, Hastings and Exmouth have already had similar incidents.

Next we'll have OG in Hull telling us about the same on the Yorkshire Riviera.

The point is that they're getting organised and Parler has become a rallying point. From there, they can get their messages out to other social media through their followers. On Twitter and Facebook they couldn't do that effectively because they were shackled by the biased rules, but now they can do/say what they want. Have a look at Tommy Robinson's posts to see how happy he is.

KTH now has 156,000 followers. That's a gain of 50,000 in a single day. She'll say, "Have a look at what Tommy Robinson is posting", then he gets another 100,000 follows to read his messages. He was stuck on VK as his only outlet with 30,000 followers. Already, he has nearly 60,000 on Parler, and going up fast. Do you get it now? Stupid arogant people were deriding these things, thinking it wasn't significant, but soon they will see how stupid they are.

So equating twitter as pub - then the landlord has exercised their perogative and turfed them out to the digital equivalent of Speakers' Corner




A little over 30 years earlier George Orwell had described the place as "one of the minor wonders of the world", writing that in Hyde Park he had listened to "Indian nationalists, temperance reformers, Communists, Trotskyists, the Socialist Party of Great Britain (SPGB), the Catholic Evidence Society, freethinkers, vegetarians, Mormons, the Salvation Army, the Church Army, and a large variety of plain lunatics".

At least half the speakers are preachers. Issues of race, religion and nationality are discussed obsessively. The place has changed over the years: the Sunday afternoon crowds are smaller; there are fewer platforms belonging to organised groups, a narrower range of speakers, and the proportion of religious meetings has increased.

What's going on in the park becomes clearer with repeat visits. Some of the regulars - speakers, hecklers and observers - have been going there for years. Some of the arguments, particularly those involving small groups debating the merits or otherwise of Bible and Koran, continue from one week to the next. Some of the heckles, hilarious at first hearing, become quite stale fourth time around.

Hopefully, he's been out there taking in the rays. The poor guy needs to get out a bit more for the sake of his mental state. I worry about him.
I'm sure OG is fine, he's Yorkshire tough. It will take more than a thread to knock him off his perch.

This is post number 80,000 in this thread.

We're beginning to rival Hansard.

Probably matching the amount of rubbish in that record too!

It‘s fine, don’t worry, the NHS has loads of iron lungs spare at the moment. When the grandchildren have wasted granny by giving her coronavirus, they can bury her on Skype. No need to leave the house.

Government officials should be patrolling these beaches , Immediately ending furlough payments for anyone caught there. Get them off the beaches and back to work.
