I am tired of journalists publishing what they say verbatim as if it’s not propaganda. Educating the public by saying this goes against Equality Act (2010) or Human Rights Act (1998) would go along way to pushing back against the ‘he said’ narrative.

I had to check that I wasn't reading a 1940s version of the Irish Catholic. #DownWithThisSortofThing

This song reached no. 7 in the UK charts in 1967 & The Dubliners appeared on Top of the Pops. Banned from the RTÉ for its suggestive, lewd lyrics, the song also charted at No.1 in Ireland!

Newspaper clipping The London Echo, April 1869 VELOCIPEDES. The Standard protests against the introduction of the velocipedes into the streets of London, but believes that nothing less than a police prohibition will prevent it. We hear of races to Brighton and Liverpool; yet a glimpse into the shallowest recesses of human nature will assure us, that as there are weak-minded persons who hire horses at watering places, not to enjoy a freshening ride over the hills, but to exhibit their equestrianism by galloping through the crowds on the sands, so there will be reckless fellows displaying their bicycle accomplishments where there are most spectators to admire them and be put in jeopardy by their exploits. Surely we are unsafe enough as it is, in the centre as in the outskirts of London. The capitals of the provinces must take care of themselves; but London ought to set them an example by keeping the mania in its right place, which is, where the roads are open, the passers-by comparatively few, and the traffic gene-rally light. The velocipedists of this generation at any rate have not yet mastered their noble art sufficiently to render them safe company elsewhere.
In 1869, bicycle mania broke out, in England as well as in France. And a lot of people started to have fun. Which, as it does, invited the funsuckers to come out and complain:
"Surely we are unsafe enough as it is, in the centre as in the outskirts of London."

Is it confirmation that Britain's former Prime Minister Sir John Major has had a major emotional reaction to something or other? #DownWithThisSortOfThing
Free people read freely!
One of the early moves in curtailing freedom is to reduce access to many things including books & other materials that encourage critical thinking and also give the reader a wider window on the world.

There have been a few dodgy petitions for the UK parliament recently. How about some sensible ones? Demanding a re-write of the ending of Blake's 7, and getting us a second series of both Firefly and Space, Above and Beyond. #DownWithThisSortOfThing #Blakes7 #FireFly #SpaceAbove&Beyond #PetitionsOrg

Exactly @bbcnickrobinson @BBCr4today raising awareness of issues is not the problem. #downwiththissortofthing Moving debate on to solutions is the issue.
