Honestly a "Think 47" policy is something good that should be in operation everywhere.

"Think. Could this bald person I'm talking to in actuality be a genetically enhanced killer in disguise who is about to setup a complicated Rube Goldsberg type scenario to kill someone in this building."

Easy enough to test for. Ask them what the nearest piece of food is like. If they say it's "to die for", get outta there.

They're basically copying the NZ smoking ban, where the minimum age to purchase tobacco will rise every year (locking out anyone born before a certain date).

It is, but currently GB has almost no checks on goods entering the country, so there's the potential for a huge increase in tobacco smuggling.

Supposedly checks will begin in January but they've already been delayed 4 or 5 times since Brexit, and there's no sign that progress has been made with the infrastructure and staffing needed to implement them.

I remember reading somewhere that Stewart Lee used to carry around a card in his wallet that read, 'Person to contact in case of death - Patrick Marber', so that if he ever got hit by a car, he could die happy in the knowledge that at least he'd be ruining Marber's day.

(They'd got into a feud about who actually came up with the O'Hanra-Hanrahan character.)

Yeah, I explained that badly. Lee legitimately disliked Marber, so he wanted to annoy Marber as his final act on earth by making him come in and identify the mangled corpse.

This is especially funny because even if you’d had no reason to ever get a tram to the airport you’d still know it went there because that line goes loads of other places including straight through town (as they all do) and therefore has ‘Manchester airport’ plastered on the front, sides, and every stop it’s stopping at along the way.

I only really lurk this thread but it's only been unreadable for the past couple of days because like, two posters (reading thru the last few pages one of which is evading a perma apparently?? idk) have spent every moment picking fights with everyone else in the thread over and over.
Sorry to bring this up from pages ago, but I wouldn't say Rugz's behaviour is bannable or even probatable, they're just not very good at arguing and their opinions run contrary to seemingly everyone else's. They are the kind of poster who ends up either gets talked round, or getting bored and posting elsewhere about how mean this thread is. Easy to ignore or easy to argue against, as per your preference; and from the view of an external observer it looks like they are at least being challenged if they post bad takes.

Crystal Thenis however is knowingly being an antagonistic, bigoted oval office and is deliberately threadshitting. Nothing he has posted has even attempted to add to the discussion, and his presence in the thread just makes it look unmoderated.

I get it, most easily trolled thread on the forums etc, but that doesn't mean we should do nothing when someone is clearly and unambiguously threadshitting.

It seems from occasional inferences in the chat thread's discord that he is likely a permabanned user who has reregged, but I don't have any proof of that beyond general vibes.

It is possible for the thread to self-regulate if people use the 'Block User' buttons.
When it blocks quotes from that user as well that might be the start of a solution. Until then, no.

Also from the outside it would still look like we have a oval office infestation.

Amazing how all the comments are "you can get arrested just for talking [about the crimes you are conspiring to commit with others] these days, world's gone mad!"

I wonder where they all were when those tiktokers got done for "we should all loot Oxford Street lol (this is a joke)"

Probably the same people who wonder why criminals aren't arrested before they commit any crimes.

I made a sarcastic comment on one tweet wondering if the police had found any suspicious powders in Fox's bedroom, and then had some right crazies accuse me of being part of the 77th Brigade, then I was accused of being a police grass because I mentioned powders in that tweet that was made after the police had left, as if my tweet would suddenly get Laurence's house re-raided, or that I'd leaked a huge secret that Fox loves coke. lol

I really wonder what happened to these people's cognitive skills. Did they ever have them in the first place?

I disagree about Rugz' behaviour being good-faith disagreement. Throughout these multi-day details they've come in with a contrarian opinion, misrepresented other people's arguments and seamlessly switched topics just to keep the argument going. It's pissflappian trolling, plain and simple.

Sideshow God, a.k.a. Cosplay Cleric Calvin Robinson, has this afternoon put out a statement in relation to his sacking by GB News

In it he confirms reports of a five figure payout to an unnamed female presenter following allegations of sexual harassment by a senior manager

Calvin also suggests the channel’s owner, Paul Marshall, is attempting to clean up its act before making a formal bid to buy The Daily Telegraph

He also talks about a culture of deep division at GB News, with recounts of clashes between it’s presenters and editorial staff over what they can and cannot say on air

The self-professed freedom fighter goes on to suggest GB News is becoming the Tory party’s ‘controlled opposition
