SubscribeUnnecessary repetition as post disappeared.
Personally I gave up trying to post longer comments at UnHerd. Far too many times the staff withholds posts until well after the thread has gone off the boil, or got triggered by a common but, for UnHerd, very naughty word. So only short posts from me now, and only occasionally. Because UnHerd prefers to disincentivise commenting, I don’t have such a high incentive to read other people’s posts either (sorry, but that’s reality). It all degrades the potential of the conversation, but that’s how UnHerd likes it.
Even duff articles can produce interesting exchanges in the comments, but I agree it is irritating posting anything substantial that disappears into limbo for a significant period. I don’t post anything of substance outside the censorship working hours for this reason.
“outside the censorship working hours”
Gave me a wry chuckle
Immigration, Law and order and race relations rise up the ladder of concerns. Who would have thought it? Pupils with phones turn out to be disruptive if they have them in class. Solution ban them. Could be applied to the rest of us being distracted by phones and social media misinformation after all even disinformation reporters can’t be trusted not to spread misinformation. That links all three reports.
Soma should keep us all calm in this Brave New World.
re. Taylor Lorenz. I have absolutely no interest in the media talking about the media. Perhaps Unherd could avoid articles where such as is the content… “he said, she said, in instagram, and then published in the NYT etc. etc. etc.”
Immigration is not the problem, all those that say it is are wrong. The problem is white people who, by the way are all rich racists and the hard right. And the Tories. And Islamists. There, Labour race relations manifesto in a nutshell.
PS Ceasefire now, Leeds for Gaza, blame the Zionists
Immigration is very much the problem, legal and illegal, the electorate want radical change to the present migration numbers.
The political classes will be forced to respond as the economy declines and unemployment goes up.
