I was informed this morning that my Twitter account has been partially suspended due to some offensive tweets. The relevant tweets were TRUTHFUL tweets regarding a certain subject (and you can guess which). There was not one tweet that reflected opinion and all were facts. This, in addition to several other occurrences, indicates to me that which I already knew. The March onwards is irresistible now. The Battle is lost! I really do not know why people cannot see this but anyway. I won't be here when the excrement hits the circular air distributor so I'm not really bothered. I freely admit defeat and will be saving my breath and the tips of my typing fingers in future. I feel sorry for any of you with grandchildren living in the UK. Good luck.

I always laugh at my little daughter with her brainwashed leftie views, i full well know when she reaches my age she will realise that she was a fool, brainwashed by education, media and global internet giants suppressing thought.

Hopefully i will be around to see it.

I have already witnessed it with my parents, full lefties upon till they actually realised the left want people to be poor. Now they are very rich because they are hard working and because of Maggie Thatcher.

Thank you for your support. The way Brexit, the "Soft" border with Eire (letting everyone into the UK in a roundabout way) and immigration is being handled is the death knell for once Great Britain. Shame, but it's no skin off my nose, because by the time it reaches its height, my nose will be ashes!

Funny old world, the left made people vote for them by keeping them poor. Bank crash was under a leftie government i recall.

every single labour government has left the country broke, this is a fact but the lefties dont like to discuss it. I bet a lot of money you wont want to talk about previous left wing failures ?

Anyone that claims that a government is borrowing more after a bigger debt over time is completely flawed and probably stupid or a leftie, probably both.  Borrowing cannot ever go down on a large debt over time.

So the right-wing view presumably is that Labour caused exactly the same financial crash in the USA?

Brown was foolish to think that financial services would continually generate the tax to pay for expanded public services, but it is simply silly to blame him for the crash.

It depends on the staff who are dealing with the matter.

You were probably reported by some leftist snowflake. They hate anyone saying things they disagree with and want contrary opinion banned, they've already managed it in some universities. The US journalist Ann Coulter appeared on the BBC the other day, she's right of centre. So the snowflake wastes of space were up in arms that she was allowed on at all, apparently they think freedom of speech should be suppressed, the likes of her should be banned, and we should just have Guardian journalists agreeing with BBC journalists all day....

It's always going to happen where nationalism is allowed to fade. The EU is the biggest example.

No pride in their own country or themselves, let alone their own way of life.
Trendy left-wingers doing as much damage as possible to their own country seems to be the first requirement for landing a cushy job at the BBC or the Guardian.

Corbyn, Robin Cook, Clare Short, Nick Griffin and Nigel Farage all have one thing in common..

They all opposed Blair's decision to go to Iraq.

Categorising left and right political views is unhelpful. The true Labour supporters and true right wingers come together on many issues. Not least their opposition to an unelected, unaccountable, unaudited EU.

That's true, the two big parties are completely in harmony over most of the major issues which affect our lives.
It's the trivial stuff they discuss in public.
That's why immigration which has been the biggest issue for many people for a very long time seldom gets any attention from either of them.
They both know that oversupply of labour is good for the economy but very damaging for the people.

Apart from the obvious game of Labour destroying through over spending, and the Tories repairing with cuts, there's little difference between the two main parties over many things.

Corbyn might put that right if he ever were elected - but I doubt it.

It is strange how such a group or organisation can gain such a grip on the discussion.  The people who are opposed to almost everything that the liberal philosphy believes in are defended by those same liberals.  To the extent one is shouted down as right wing or racist etc.  I would highlight LGBT and feminst issues at the top.

Twitter is a company. They don't want you doing something that they feel could be detrimental to their company and their profits. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. You are allowed to go and say whatever you want to say, but companies (twitter in this case) just don't want to allow you to do something that could potentially cost them money.

Your ban/suspension is purely a financial decision nothing to do with freedom of speech. After all you can create your own website and say what you want on there. Try not to take it personally.
Report Slicer December 12, 2017 10:35 AM GMT
I don't take it personally. My objection is that I state the truth about a certain group of people and am suspended for it while others tweet horrible racist tweets about OTHER groups of people and grt away with it. The point is, this particular group of people appears to be protected in spite of the atrocities carried out!
Report U.A. December 12, 2017 10:59 AM GMT
Yeah it seems like you have taken it a little personally, just because you say you haven't doesn't mean you haven't.

One person's version of truth is to another person a horrible racist tweet. It's easy to imply things just by stating facts. For example I could say since Torquemada has joined the forum the number of people being banned has increased significantly. He could turn round upset and say "F off it has nothing to do with me", but couldn't I just say why are you getting upset i am simply stating some facts, or the truth.

It's not what you say it's what you are implying. If what you imply is not good for business you're not welcome.
Report Slicer December 12, 2017 11:07 AM GMT
I accept that. I suppose I am taking it a little personally, but that is because of the favouritism shown as I have previously mentioned. I do  believe that  if religion of a perpetrator is stated, that is not open to being interpreted. It is THE TRUTH. A TRUTH cannot be called racist if one is pointing it out. Anyway, as I stated in the title of the thread, the Battle is already lost, so no point in wasting any more time on it.

Often, it's about context.

For example, someone might point out that there were five black players in the England football team in a particular match.

That would be a fact, but depending on the context it could a racist comment, neutral or positive.
